Choosing a Career in the Graphic Communication Industry
December 23, 2010
The printing industry is one of the largest manufacturing industries in the world, offering a wide variety of exciting employment and career opportunities.
A new video entitled The Pathway to Prosperity, Choosing a Career in the Graphic Communication Industry, designed to promote the advantages of a career in the field, features Ben Franklin (played by well known Franklin character actor Ralph Archbold) and Jeff Hayzlett, Chief Business Development Officer and Vice President, Eastman Kodak Company.
The nine-minute video, jointly produced by Kodaks Graphic Communications Group and the Print and Graphics Scholarship Foundation (PGSF), provides a comprehensive and entertaining overview of the graphic arts as a high tech, fast paced, modern industry—in stark contrast to the industry of Ben Franklins days. In his conversation with Franklin, Hayzlett contrasts the graphic communications industry of today with the printing industry of the 1700s.

What are the average effluent/wastewater characteristics for the printing and packaging industry?
December 21, 2010
I need to know the effluent characteristics for printing and packaging industries i.e BOD COD TSS PH etc. Please give reference also. Have searched a bit but couldnt find them.
The easiest source are the USEPA Sector Notebooks (reference given). I think you may have to get a little more specific. Having worked for companies in these areas, the type of facility is going to be very important. printing is going to be very different than packaging only. There is paper versus plastic packaging and the verticality of the operation will make a difference.
To all veterans in Printing Industry, who discovered CMYK Separation and when it is tested?
December 18, 2010
CMYK is a Color Separation. Composes C-Cyan M-Magenta Y-Yellow and B-Black. All images have million colors but can be separated in 4 colors only which is CMYK…
I dont think it was ever found by someone or tested by someone at a certain time. Its evolution in printing that led from one to another discovery.

I’m looking for the top 3 trade magazines for the Screen Printing industry and their circulation numbers. Help?
December 15, 2010
I found some circulation numers, but I can’t find a list of magazines that focus on Screen printing or garmet decorators. So I have no idea if the one I found is a leader in this niche or just one of many.
DogLover’s post is not the information I’m looking for – thanks. I’m looking for the top three magazines (by circulation) that are targeted at the Screen printing industry.
WhatsGoodMagazine.com and ReducedPrinting.com are both a magazine and a printer to the trade – they are under one roof.
I have a BA in English and would like to get into the graphic and printing industry, what route should I take?
December 12, 2010
Would I have to get another Bachelors degree or can I go for a Masters? I enjoy writing and I would also like to be a photographer on the side?
I think you need another degree. There are a lot of graphic students out there who would have a clear advantage.
Even if the job accepted your course, which is rare, you would severley be disadvantaged against a student with a more relevant degree.
Apprenticeship in the printing industry
December 9, 2010
First years training as an apprentice was really just watching somebody and doing something. Ahm, you, you sat beside a Journeyman and you just watched what he did for the first six, nine months. You helped him with the, with heav- some heavy lifting an things like that, you know. But eh, in the main you were just going along for the first six or seven months watching him. We also had in the letterpress department a series of graduated printing machines with a, a local platen thing. And then we had a low Wharfdale in the corner, eh, two very small machines and then you moved up to the next Wharfdale before you got onto, onto the big meel-, what they call miehle machines, the big Miehles. And then after that you can move onto the Perfectors. So there was a, a range of machines all the way along. And after six months, eh, when the apprentice who was on the platen machine moved on you got to do the work on the platen. And that included em, business cards for the reps, eh, letter headings, all that kind of, just the jobbing work that you would do in a jobbing printers. And we used to do all our own in, in, in the print, and after six months you were the apprentice in charge of all that. Eh, the gaffer or the foremen always came along and kept an eye on you an things. Eh, once you did about six or nine months of that and the next apprentice was coming into the system you moved onto a, a, a little Wharfdale which, eh, in those days I think it was a double demi machine, I dont know whether you are familiar with these terms but demi, it was double demi machines. Seventeen and a half, twenty two.

Is anyone working as consultant to the Printing and Graphics industry in regard to Green Sustainability?
December 9, 2010
I am a consultant about to launch a new service on Long Island in New York (June) in environmental and greening. I am interested in talking to anyone that might currently be doing the same sort of thing for the printing and graphics industry.
Try checking the ForestEthics website. Sounds like exactly what they are doing.
What invention relating to the printing industry did Lord Kelvin patent in1867?
December 6, 2010
Why don’t you Google Lord Kelvin to find out rather than rely on us to do your homework?
