For a first post I thought a good place to start would be explaining how being a tech guy doesn’t necessarily mean sitting at a computer all day. I being in a general tech position requires one to learn all the angles of every machine he works with and what it’s function is or what it is suppose to produce. In my case here at Lonestar, it means working with lots of computer hardware and software, engraving machines, laser machines, sublimation machines, heat presses, printers, servers, and phones all for the purpose of delivering custom imprinted lanyards, name badges, and vinyl badge holders with quality service to our customers. Throughout these posts I will try and relate the problems I’ve had with different machines, the resulting products or services, and the solutions to my difficulties. Hopefully, it can be an assist to others having trouble with the hardware I’ve listed. I will also be including some resources for software such as Alti-Gen, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Flash CS3, Final Cut Express, Adobe Premier, CorelDraw, and Xenetech.
