Vandercook Concentration:\u00a0Mastering the Proof Press<\/strong>
\nMaine Media Workshops + College<\/a>, May 1-7, 2016<\/p>\n

This comprehensive workshop delves into the minutiae of Vandercookery. Using presses in the print studio, participants will gain hands-on maintenance experience as preparation for future problems and repairs. (We will also discuss all models of interest and other brands as warranted.) Once the presses have been serviced, we will investigate materials and methods to improve the technical quality of presswork. With a focus on production printing using proof presses, we will examine the control of inking, cylinder packing, proper height of plates, form imposition, lockup and registration aids. By standardizing materials (as much as possible) we will do \u201cminimum makeready\u201d to achieve maximum results \u2014 just like Vandercook intended.<\/p>\n
