COLOR LAB/COMBI ARTIST
PEERLESS ENGRAVING
1988 - 1994
I set up and sized color transparencies for drum scanning, as well as dark room color correction of film outputs.
Later moved to image re-touching and manipulation and worked on the Combi 2000 (a German system). This employment period formed my understanding of 4 color process printing, digital multi-step high volume work flow, the mechanics of image manipulation and retouching as well as color theory for 4 color process printing on the web press.
