FOREWARD The Mid-America Vocatiorial Curriculum Consortium (MAVCC) was organized for the purpose of developing instructional materials for its eleven member states. All member states participate in establishing. annual development priorities, and the need for curriculum raphic arts truly reflects regional needs. Graphic Arts: Book Three, The Press and Related Processes, is the concluding publica- tion of a series of three texts dedicated toua basic graphic arts curriculum. Although it can taught as a single text, it is hoped that it will be used in conjunction with books one and two to provide continuity in student training. It is also hoped that the effort will provide industry with truly well trained technicians for the w rld of graphic arts and the varied skills it demands. The success of this publication is due, in large part, to the capabilities of the personnel who worked with its development. The technical writers have numerous years of industry as well as teaching experience. Assisting'them in their efforts were representatives of each of the member states who brought wi h them technical expertise and the experience related to the classroom and to the trade.o assure that the materials would parallel the industry , environmen and be accept as a transportable basic teaching tool, organizations and in- dustry represtatives were ',volved in the developmental phases of the manual. Apprecia- tir is extendedto them for their valuable contributions to the manual. InstructiOnal materials in this publication are written in terms of student performance using measurable objectives. This is an innovative approach to teaching that accents and aug- ment the teaching/learning process. Criterion referenced evaluation instruments are pro- yid d for uniforrli measurement of student progress. In addition to evaluating recall informa- tn, teachers are encouraged to evaluate the other areas including process and Oroduct as indicated at the end of each instructional unit. Itis the sincere belief of the MAVCG-personnel and all those members who served on the committees that this publication will allow the' students to become better prepared , and more effective members of the work force. Merle Rudebusch, Chairman Board of Directors Mid-America#Vocational Curriculum Consortium 4 V PREFACE -, The development of a basic curriculum in graphic arts and offsetprinting has been a rewarding effort because of the talented people who planned and wrotethe materials. From that team of teachers, industry representatives, and trade andindustrial staff members has come a series of three texts whichshould offer gr,aphic arts students an excellent oppor- tunity for learning the skills required in the world of graphic arts andoffset printing. The title of this concluding text of the series, Graphic Arts: BookThree, The Press and Related Processes, clearly indicates the objectives of the training. These aretheareas where students will confront basic press fundamentals, develop skills in estimatingjob costs, bind- ing and finishing, and roll up their sleeves arid cleana. press. Naturally, the text is designed to complement Graphic Arts: BookOne, Orientation, Composition, and Paste-Up, and Graphic Arts: Book Two, Process Camera, Stripping, and Platemaking. As complex as some printing activities are, the IVVAVCC format presentsthe proceduret in logically ordered objectives that facilitate a comfortablelearning rate. The format also frees the instructor to concentrate on reinforcing classroominstruction with films, field trips, and other activities that serve to maintain student interest at ahigh level and motivate students to learn and do. -.. , . Despite careful planning and editing, we know that the text may perhapscontain a typographical error or two. Letting us know when you find such items willbe a great help in improving the prcrduct before reprint time. But most of all, yourinput about the major elements in the book will be valuable help for changing oradding objectives when the materials are revised and updated. We do respond to your suggestions, and we hope the qualityof the materials in Graphic Arts: Book Three will serve a positive role in the classroomand provide industry with the skilled people required to keep the art in graphic arts. , .
