Printing and Prepress Technology
|
Printing and Prepress Technology is a means
of graphic communication and deals specifically with the
reproduction of quantities of images, mostly on paper. The
operations to accomplish this are divided into three main
categories: |
 |
Prepress, Press, and Finishing
Prepress is the series of operations involved in the preparation and
assembly of all copy elements and materials to be reproduced on press.
This includes processes such as high quality color scanning, color
correction, monitor calibration, digital image manipulation,
preflighting, electronic imposition, proofing an outputting a job to
film, plates or direct to digital press.
Press/Finishing is the process of using machines
to print large quantities of jobs on paper. The press areas include
lithographic press operation, multi color printing, quality control
using densitometry, plate making, chemical use and safety, and machine
maintenance. The completed printed job is moved to the Finishing
Department.

Hennepin Technical College forms printing
industry partnership with Minneapolis Public Schools |
Hennepin Technical College (HTC)
announced it will enter into a printing industry partnership with
Minneapolis Public Schools to mutually strengthen career and technical
programming offered by both institutions in printing and prepress
technology.
HTC is a center for excellence for printing education in Minnesota and
is the only metro area public college offering a printing program.
Through the partnership, secondary students attending Minneapolis
Public Schools will have the opportunity to gain access to educational
opportunities at HTC, including earning college credit as a transition
to their post-secondary education.
HTC printing and prepress faculty will provide assistance in
curriculum development to Minneapolis Public Schools’ faculty and
develop articulation agreements between the two programs to enable
students to receive college credit for courses taught in participating
Minneapolis Public Schools.
For further information about the HTC Printing and Prepress program,
