| Electronic Prepress Technician |
|
The computer has largely been responsible for replacing a number of jobs in prepress—camera operator, platemaker, and film assembler—with a new group of prepress technicians that work almost exclusively on powerful computers with 128 MB or more of RAM and several gigabytes of hard disk storage. Depending on the size of the company, these technicians may perform only basic functions, or they may perform a number of related functions. Among the functions performed in electronic prepress are preflighting, scanning of images, file repair, trapping, imposition, and outputting of film, proofs and plates. |
