Importance Of Education And Training In The Field Of Printing Press

Most of the people dont really think that there is any need of formal education or

training program for printing press since related companies provide informal training to the operators on job while working as a helper or assistant to experienced operators. Well, it is true that companies do provide training on job, but that program starts with a very basic work like loading, unloading and cleaning of printing machines. Gradually, training is taken to another level that incorporates operation of one-color sheet-fed presses and eventually to the advance level, i.e. multicolor presses. Trainers acquire a lot of knowledge and experience during the course of their job. However, to be called as real expert it takes a several years of time, depending on employees learning ability.

Conversely, as a matter of fact, in todays competitive world of business, no company wants to waste time over providing professional training or organizing classes for machines operations to the amateurs. Also, an ambitious person will never wait for years to get trained in the field he wants to excel. These days, printing companies prefer to hire people who are already trained with basic knowledge and are well versed with the technical terms of the job. This helps them train the candidate well, saves time and effort.

Considering the practical scenario, currently many postsecondary or graduation programs in printing equipments operation is being offered by some technical grade school and community colleges. Duration of the course can be of 2 years after completion of which the candidate will be awarded as associated degree. There are also other programs that may take only a year or even less than that, though the variety of content will be less.

Major benefit of pursuing this course is that these education programs are tailored keeping the practical scenarios in mind that print professionals often come across while working with their machines. People willing to become expert printing press professionals need to have mechanical aptitude to adjust and repair press machines. Apart from this, oral and writing skills are also required, because an ideal professional should be able to calculate percentage, weight, density and other measures of material used in printing job. The person must also be able to compute the amount of paper and ink for every individual project.

Latest development in the field of printing press demands knowledge in some specific computer software to work with images to be printed, which can be obtained during the course of education. Increasing competition in this domain has made a prior and advance knowledge a necessary prerequisite for a productive and quality printing job.
