Mastering the pre-press stage
Continuing Education The Zurich Vocational School of Design provides information about the Technopolygrapher training program.
Further training The Zurich Vocational School of Design provides information on the technopolygraphy training course Is it worthwhile training as a technopolygraph if you have completed a polygraph apprenticeship? Yes, because the basic training can only lay a foundation for working in prepress. Just think of how the field of IT in connection with prepress has developed in an almost revolutionary way in recent years (workflow systems, color management, CtP, digital printing) and how we are taking rapid steps towards fully automated production (CIP 4, JDF) in the print sector.In addition to a one-week study trip with visits to Heidelberg, Agfa and Kodak Creo, which has become an integral part of technopolygraphy training and which aims to promote cultural and social skills as well as technical knowledge, this course is already the third with new, expanded content designed to enable future technopolygraphers to lead a team or prepress department.
In addition to the ability to lead and instruct employees, the subjects of management basics, project management and cost basics, for example, should also enable future technopolygraphers to make their technical knowledge available to the management when writing a proposal for the evaluation of a new CtP platesetter and to coordinate a corresponding project group.
In addition to all this, the aim and objective of the technopolygraphy course is for them to master the entire pre-press production process - including the production of websites as an important interface to pre-press and the multiple use of data.
