COMD 4900 Internship: Spring 2022: Performance

Performance

One of the projects that I worked on in conjunction with other volunteers and interns was printing the annual magazine on the printer shown above. Applying  the ink, fixing the plates into position, fanning and loading up the paper etc. This printer provided a plethora of issues and problems even before the actual printing process. When printing the testing sheets (make-ready) the ink would splattered all over the paper and the alignment was off. We all worked together reading the manual, taking and giving suggestions in a respect and digestible manner. Once we consulted a professional and after numerous trial and error, the printer was finally printing decent sheets. It wasn’t perfect but it was as good as it was gonna get. Fatigued and covered in ink but just glad it was over.
