from the type of printout, its layout, the form of printing, the printing
materials to be used up to the quantity of outputs. The final output of this
step is the final design in softcopy, ready for printing. The second step, which
is the press, involves the operation of the printing machine adequate for the
type of printout. After the printout design has been made from the first step,
it is then being transferred to the printing area wherein the machines are
being operated. In other words, most of the work in this step is done by the
printing and cutting machines. The final step is the postpress, in this step the
finishing jobs are being made to the printouts. This step includes the
examination or identification of any defects, product count, organization, and
lastly the packaging.
4. Where are they performed? Who performs them?
The aforementioned steps are performed in their respective office or
workplace since in this type of business the customers are the ones who
approach their business; put differently, the customers always make the first
move. Accordingly, each steps are performed by the specific persons
responsible for the job. Like for an instance, the layout artist is responsible
for the layouting or designing of the printouts. In the second step, the
machine operator will be responsible for the functioning of the facilities.
According to the owner, most of the jobs of their printing business do not
require a certain specialization; thus, some members of their family take a
part-time or even full-time participation in the business.
5. How long does it take?
The duration of each step entirely depends on the type of printout and
quantity of outputs the customer needs as determined in the prepress. The
speed of the job is done as quickly as possible assuming no problems or
errors occur most especially in the machines.
6. How often it is done?
The steps are actually connected and interdependent to the other;
hence, they are performed sequentially. As soon as the customer provides
the necessary information about what they need, the steps will be performed
consequently. Therefore, the frequency of these steps also depends on the
number of customers they have at the time.
