   I’ve always been one of those people to immediately wonder why I need to take a specific class, and how it will be relevant to me once I graduate from college and go off into the “real world”. Take Digital Print Processes for example.
   
   

   “This course provides students with an opportunity to learn the principles and applications of digital printing. It presents the technical aspects of the major digital print engines and compares digital printing to conventional printing processes. The strategic use of digital printing is emphasized from a digital workflow standpoint. Variable date personalization and on-demand printing are studied from both technical and marketing perspectives.”    

    A bit difficult (since I have not taken M&P I or II) this class has proven most worthwhile. I am thoroughly enjoying learning about how printers work, and which ones are good for different tasks. More than anything, it has taught me to truly appreciate press operators, as they have far more experience about printing systems than I ever think I could cram into my head in a lifetime.
