After doing some screen printing for a local sports collectible shop and working at the copy center at the college bookstore, my first real printing job was hand burning plates.
Laying mask after mask and screen after screen, turning on the vacuum, closing the curtain and all that light exposure... ugh. I was burned out after a week or two. I got upgraded to typesetter and then to scanning artboards and vectorizing and coloring images with Adobe Streamline. That's the place where I got fired on day 89 for getting in a car accident.
I did like making the color keys, though.
