Perhaps you are not aware, but the printing industry offers numerous and diverse job opportunities that have little to do with Gutenberg's time! Silk screen printer, finisher, typesetter, prepress operator, cutter, production manager, machine operator, folder-inserter, the approximately 3,000 French printing companies employ no less than 40,000 people in various printing professions and processes. It is important to know that there are numerous training opportunities to access printing jobs; they require both technical skill and specific expertise. Initial training can be obtained through CAP, Bac Pro, BTS, and DUT programs throughout France, depending on the chosen profession. For example, to become a printing machine operator, it is recommended to complete a Bac Pro in printed production, supplemented by a BTS in Communication and Graphic Industries, with a specialization in either "Study and Production of Printed Products" or "Study and Production of Graphic Products". Printing jobs can also be accessible at the Bac level, with a Bac Pro in Printing and Multimedia Production or in Finishing-Finishing of Printed Products. Regarding traditional manual design techniques, there is a CAP in Bookbinding Arts and a Certificate of Artistic Trades in Bookbinding and Gilding. At the Bac level, there are two primary Bac Pro degrees, one in Printing and Multimedia Production, and one in Routing Printed Products Finishing. If you plan to become a finisher (who represents the final link in the graphics chain), be aware that there are two qualified worker-level diplomas that train versatile professionals on increasingly complex machines: the Supplemental Mention in Finishing-Finishing of Printed Products and the Bac Pro in Printed Production. It is also possible to pursue apprenticeships or continuing professional education, and to do so, there are many options available, ranging from dedicated schools to specialized institutes, national conservatories of arts and crafts, or training institutions. Finally, for those who wish to specialize in this new field of digital printing, inquire about the Center for Training in Digital Printing Trades (CPI) in Saint Amand Montrond, in the Cher (in order to remain at the forefront of technology).

Printing, in short, allows the dissemination of knowledge at an unprecedented level, which leads to the Renaissance. The Renaissance is a period during which a greater part of the population rediscovers the accumulated knowledge of Antiquity. This era of great progress also causes humanity to have a completely new perspective on the world, which will ultimately lead to the scientific revolution and the birth of modern science. Furthermore, it is important to understand that printing brings about an ideal of widespread literacy which results in the expansion of public schools and access to culture for the masses. The rapid multiplication of books no longer makes them a rare commodity reserved for an elite; henceforth, a large portion of the population is able to create a private library or at least educate themselves by reading books available here and there. By allowing individuals to procure a copy of the Bible and read it for themselves, without an official interpretation from the Church, printing encourages the practice of free examination and enables deeper introspection and personal spirituality. While throughout the Middle Ages, the Bible was read, notably in monasteries, according to a codified interpretation (based on the four senses of Scripture), the greater dissemination of the holy book among the population during the Renaissance, under the influence of the Reformation, leads to a return to literalness which will have considerable consequences thereafter. Furthermore, it is important to understand when approaching the subject of printing and its place in the history of humanity that it simply represents one of the preeminent factors that allowed for the development of individualism in Western society, favoring the individual activity of reading above all else. To conclude on the subject and to be completely comprehensive, it should be noted that the advent of printing also gives rise to the novel, which will become the quintessential literary genre in just a few centuries, as well as to newspapers, whose influence will be paramount in the centuries to come...

Generally very reactive and well-organized, a printing company is supposed to react and adapt very quickly (bearing in mind that deadlines are often very tight) and work very rigorously. After adjusting according to the requested or ordered specifications, the professional starts the machines and guides the printing process from beginning to end, using various methods (such as offset printing, gravure, flexography...): label printing, digital printing, digital print, poster printing, brochure printing, book printing, final printing, commercial printing, graphic printing, offset printing, rotary printing, color or black and white printing, the possibilities are numerous... Even before the actual printing begins, the professional needs to calibrate the plates or cylinders to ensure everything goes smoothly, and then takes care of the ink, and finally, also ensures the support tension is at the right level, which is a key parameter. During printing, the printer will have to very meticulously control the quality of the printed products, to eliminate those that do not conform to the client’s order (which are generally referred to as waste). Once the job is completed, they clean the machines and ensure their maintenance (ensuring proper cleaning means ensuring proper functioning in the future...) on a daily basis. In addition to this purely operational aspect, it should also be noted that a printing company can also have an advisory role. Indeed, thanks to its sense of aesthetics and experience, the printer may also be required to advise clients on the choice of paper, format or printing process. In a way, it can be considered that the printer also plays a role as an interface between clients and the printing company staff.

We will quickly go over the main reasons why you should call upon a professional printing house and printer in your everyday life. First of all, it's important to know that if you handle the printing of a support by yourself, you risk doing things incorrectly, which could ultimately work against you and cost you a lot of money. With a professional printer, you have the guarantee of a correct design on all fronts, conforming to your initial expectations. Indeed, this printing specialist will know perfectly well how to proceed so that your catalogs, magazines, newspapers, cards, or any other support (whether promotional or not) that you wish to create, presents visually exactly the way you want it to. In addition, it's important to know that the printing world is constantly evolving. Thus, new technologies are emerging very regularly, allowing for even more successful print results. Therefore, if you have the bad idea of handling the creation of your supports by yourself, you won't be able to take advantage of these innovative options, since they don't exist internally. This is a shame because they could make all the difference with others. Another good reason to collaborate with a professional printer is that they will provide you with exceptional finishes. And, contrary to what we might think at first glance, it may also save you money! Indeed, it's obviously much cheaper to solicit printing house services than to invest in purchasing a professional printer (a device with extremely advanced technology) which is relatively expensive. In another order of ideas, you will also save time since your professional printer will be able to complete your printings in no time.

No matter where you are located, whether in a region, a department or a city, finding a company specializing in printing should not be too complicated, given the large number of such businesses throughout French territory. So, rest assured that whether you live in Model Town or in a sparsely populated rural area, you have a good chance of locating a printer in your vicinity. To begin, we suggest reaching out to your acquaintances, friends and colleagues at work to inquire whether they know of any printers. If word of mouth does not yield any results, it is then recommended to turn to the internet as a resource, for instance, consulting a site like StarOfService that lists all professionals in any specified field according to your location. With just a few clicks, the site can provide you the contact details of the printer, and then you are free to compare prices and services or simply choose the one closest to your home.

It will not be possible for us to answer this question, given that the offer of printing companies is so diverse that we would need pages and pages to fully go through it. There are many factors that come into play to calculate a overall cost, and we will try to list the main ones below: - Firstly, the type of printing process naturally influences its price. It is understood that for the same number of copies, digital printing costs slightly more than offset printing, even though both types of printing process can produce color documents. Similarly, monochrome printing, which uses less color ink resources, is less expensive than four-color printing, which requires color ink. - The printing rate also varies depending on the paper weight used, or on the quality or nature of the media. - It is also important to take into account the number of copies that will be printed, as logically, the higher this number, the lower the unit price will be (the basic principle of what is called economies of scale). In light of these factors, it is easy to understand why it is impossible for us to give you a rate, or even a range, as too many factors influence it, and each request from each client must be handled individually. Finally, we would like to stress that your geographical location can have a relatively significant impact on the prices charged by one or another printing company. It must be understood that the rates charged in Paris or in these types of large urban areas (such as Bordeaux, Lyon, Marseille, etc.) are inevitably higher than in a medium-sized town or a somewhat remote village. It should be noted that nowadays, the internet means that people tend to not limit themselves to their region to find their printing company, thus we are seeing a sort of price flattening and homogenization.

As we mentioned earlier when it came to simply finding a basic printing company, word-of-mouth can be effective. This is also true when it comes to finding a quality professional whose talent is recognized and praised by their past clients. That's why, initially, we suggest you start by asking your friends, family, and acquaintances, as they may know of a company that offers excellent services nearby. If this is not the case, then use the internet and browse through certain professional referral websites such as StarOfService. You will find lists of professionals who work in your region or nationally, as well as opinions and comments from clients who have used their services, which can provide crucial information. We strongly advise you to take the time to read and analyze these opinions and comments, as they can be very helpful in choosing the right professional. Once you have found the right address and company, make sure to check the availability of the professional, ensure that their rates correspond to what you have planned to pay, and clearly define the deadlines you would like to meet for your prints. For example, in the case of a tight deadline (which is often the case), check that the professional is able to guarantee production on time and within the original budget. One final tip: be wary of professionals who say "yes" to everything and offer prices that defy all competition. Usually, this is not a good sign, and you may bitterly regret your choice.
