Flexography
A semester long course study in Gravure and Flexographic technology. This course provided a hands on experience for the Flexographic process from the design, to plate making (AdFlex, Rochester NY), to press management.
This class allowed us to run a Mark Andy press at RIT every Friday. During the final practical, I functioned as the safety officer for a team of four. The end result was a plate with six stickers on it, two of which were designed by myself.
