Im a plateroom operator right now for a printing plant. What jobs can i get into with this experience?
I was able to get a plateroom job, which from the past year there seems relatively easy. Not suprised they hired me it's not that hard to do, still alot to know and remember of course. Im wondering what are some jobs, IN and NOT IN, the printing industry that I can apply for having worked this job. Description of Plateroom Operator job: Logged into all programs and made sure all information was correct between the info acquired from email and info that was shown on programs. Any discrepancy would be solved by emailing the correlated papers prepress team. Stopped any jamming of plates and therefore the breaking of the machines by pressing the emergency stop when needed. Replayed plates that came out with scratches or burns that were missed when loading plates in machine. Organized the plates on the racks, according to how the pressroom needed them. Like I said very easy but I also understand what im doing very well, and learning troubleshooting problems and I listen when the techs come in to fix things to the best of my abilities. I also understand how the machines that print the plates work as well.
