5. adaptability
Modern printing technology has developed rapidly in the pre-press area and is changing with each passing day, but the basic principles of offset printing machines have not changed qualitatively. Therefore, an excellent captain must adapt to operate different types of offset presses in different environments. Some captains limit themselves to a certain model, and they will be at a loss as long as they change to another model; some captains will only work under superior environmental conditions. If the environment is slightly worse, they will not print good jobs. . Therefore, the captain must improve himself in practice. At the same time, it is hoped that the captains will grasp the relevant knowledge of the computer as soon as possible in order to master the operation methods of modern high-end offset printing presses and adapt to the needs of the era of knowledge economy.
4. Some advice to the captain
How can an offset press operator become an excellent captain, control the offset press smartly, and work beautifully with assistants to produce exquisite prints? I would like to give them some advice on this.
1. Know yourself
Knowing yourself is the first step to becoming an excellent captain. Knowing yourself will make you more aware of the direction of your career. Only in the right direction will your efforts not be wasted. Knowing yourself is based on your own physical conditions, basic printing theory, and especially whether you are interested in offset printing. Interest is the best teacher.
2. Nurture yourself
If you have all the conditions to engage in offset printing and have a great interest, you should strive to develop your own organizational skills, strengthen self-cultivation, and establish better interpersonal relationships. In terms of technical operations, strive to do every job well, one is not afraid of hardships, and the other is not afraid of tiredness. The basic skills of the operation must be repeatedly practiced, often practiced, to the point of perfection. In general, we can see the level of some captains from the method of operation. To give a simple example, such as "pull version", some captains can only print once by pulling the version with a little difference between the upper and lower rules, and some captains have to pull it a few times, either upward or On the lower side, I have seen many similar cases. People often say: "One minute on stage and ten years off stage." From this point of view, it is not possible to strengthen the training of basic skills of operation.
3. Invest yourself
Anyone should know how to invest in themselves, that is to say, put a part of their income on information collection or capacity development. Some captains of many printing plants only know to work hard and are not willing to spend time reading some printing technology books. Or magazine, this is a very bad phenomenon. Here I will talk about one more thing. The year before last, I compiled a "Guide to Lithography Technician Grade Examination". When a private printing company owner in Ziyang, Sichuan learned of the news, he made a special flight to Xi'an to contact me about purchasing books. When he got 30 books, Excitedly said: "This time I let the employees in the factory read it carefully, and then test them again. Last summer, I went to lecture at several private printing companies in Longgang, Wenzhou, and found that the employees of these companies were particularly easy to learn. There is a strange phenomenon now that employees of state-owned printing companies are not as willing to study technology as employees of private printing companies! The leaders of some state-owned enterprises do not pay as much attention to technology as the owners of private printing companies. This may be an institutional issue. Reading printing technology books cannot be the same as reading martial arts novels. Such books and periodicals are a summary of previous experience, and their language and words are solid things. Therefore, the technical books must have a "thinking" attitude.
4. Plan yourself
The so-called planning yourself is to set specific goals for yourself and formulate what you can achieve. To be a captain of an offset press is the goal. A more specific goal is to become an excellent captain within two to three years. I can pass the test no matter what the assessment is, and I can take it regardless of the printed matter. This requires a very detailed plan. In the process of implementing this detailed plan, we must have the utmost vigour and a concentrated attitude. In fact, this kind of thing is easier said than done. But if there is nothing in your life that will make you go all out and concentrate on it, then your life can be said to be a pale life.
5. Sum up yourself
Objectively speaking, the technical level of a captain who is good at constantly summing up will be greatly improved. Summarizing yourself is a review of what you have done in your work. When I was young, I was the captain of a two-color offset press, insisting on writing a "work diary", and collecting monochrome samples, stacked samples, and full-color samples of the products I was satisfied with. helpful. Writing a "work diary" is to record in detail the gains and losses in the work, especially to record the difficult problems in the structure, process and printing materials of the offset press. You can't let go of the good experience. Record the troubles and troubleshooting methods on site, and then sort them out to summarize. This approach is a concrete manifestation of a rigorous attitude towards work. Another important point is that while the captain sums up himself, he must humbly listen to the assistant's opinions on himself, so that summarizing himself is relatively complete.
Some people say that "it is easy to buy an offset press, but it is very, very difficult to find a talented and outstanding captain." This remark makes sense, and at the same time, it also shows how valuable talents are in the printing industry. In the era of knowledge economy, the competition of enterprises, products, technology and many other "competitions" is ultimately the competition of talents. Because talent is wealth, those printers who want to be good captains should enrich their minds, practice tough basic skills, and seize the opportunities given to you by history!
