We had an amazing visit to Pressision print yesterday afternoon. It was really useful because this time we all knew how our individual practices would relate to the printers, and we had more knowledge and understanding so when things were being explained we could understand them more clearly.
They had 3 Heidelberg presses which i found amazing because they were doing some varnishing with it, so we could actually see the process. and the guy who was using the machine at the time took us through the process. I asked a lot fo questions about finishing and printing with the Heidelberg because its something i feel my practice would use at the moment.
They showed us how our artwork would travel through the system and get printed, and they were all really willing to show us stuff and talk us through the proceses of each machine.
I find all of this fascinating.
Because i spend a lot of time looking at finishing, like embossing and de-bossing, using printing plates etc they gave me some really useful advice on how i would set up the job and how it would run as well as giving me printing plates to help me get a better understanding.
