Computer Knowledge and Skills

I have been using a Macintosh computer in a prepress department for over fifteen years. Adobe CS5 software and QuarkXPress are some of the programs I use on a daily basis on both Mac and PC platforms. I have used Standard Page Tool, Art Pro, Alan Ripping System and Preps for imposition. Delta Technology, Alan Ripping System, Harlequin and Rampage are ripping systems I have used throughout my printing career along with a variety of proofing equipment and film/platesetters.
