]]> Comment on The Degradation of Prepress Employment, Part 1 by Jeff Lazerus http://www.jefflazerus.com/blog/515/comment-page-1#comment-902 Jeff Lazerus Mon, 04 Oct 2010 16:10:39 +0000 http://www.jefflazerus.com/blog/?p=515#comment-902 Hi David, Thanks for taking the time to read the blog. These are indeed sad times for those of us on the prepress side. Like you, I thought that getting a college degree and pursuing what has been an important and vital industry for the past 500 + years would be an excellent career choice. I think it's interesting and fascinating. I have some aptitude for it. It's frustrating to see the industry collapse in this way. The old business models aren't working as well right now, and every year there's another technology (like the iPad) which creates less of a need for printing. I think there are a lot of other reasons, too, which have conspired to put us out of business, and that is the awful truth. Outsourcing. Automation technology. Digital Printing. I had a boss once, sales guy, whose fantasy was (and he told us this) that he could walk in, flip a switch in the morning, and "all the jobs would produce themselves". Because he's the guy who writes the check for the equipment, the vendors have been working diligently to make that happen. I will probably write a post about this, but I really don't want to focus on negative things. All I can say is, I am hoping to take my experience in the direction the market wants, and that would be electronic publishing: web development mainly, or other delivery media, like smart phones, or the aforementioned iPad? One of the ideas for having this blog is to experiment in that world. Right now I find myself in a quick copy in-plant, doing short run books and teaching users how to set up files in word so they will run. I am lucky, I got a vaguely related job, and I'm working hard to move into electronic publishing by going BACK to college to get ANOTHER degree in Computer Science. Hopefully as the economy recovers, there will be a backlash against electronic media, but I'm afraid that since most people are already down the electronic road they won't be easily pulled back to printing.

I worked as a pre-press professional for more than ten years up until Dec 2009. I was hopping to find some insight as to where these talented professionals are going for new careers. I spent a lot of money on a Bachelors degree in Printing Technology and right now it isn't worth the paper its printed on. Hi,
