Speaker: Sandi L. Peterson, President, thepresscheckpeople.com at Berthelot Marketing Services, Inc.
Come to this seminar and learn more than 20 of the most significant press problems in one hour! Many production people have known there was something “wrong” during a press check, but could not properly identify the issue. To help you hone your skills, this session is designed to be fully interactive with hands-on experience in finding and understanding the issues that might appear on press.
Each attendee will receive a printed press sheet (from the press check from hell!) with simple and advanced press problems. You’ll then test your knowledge of how to detect press problems. The attendee who finds the most issues on the press sheet will win the prize. But all of you will walk away with a better understanding of what to look for on press. You’ll learn by seeing samples of press problems and then learn what causes each problem and how to direct your pressman to eliminate or alleviate the issue.
This session is designed for the advanced buyer, with more than a beginners knowledge of terms and functions of the press. And while the seminar is geared for those comfortable with the press check process, the novice should also be able to follow along.
