When asked what skills are needed for a Digital Pre-press Technician, William Mitchell's response included, "a background in the graphic arts and printing processes and…a high level ability to produce quality materials with a great attention to visual detail." Those who are familiar with William, and his art, would likely attest to the fact that he possess an extraordinary ability for producing visual work. His 25 years of experience as an artist, whose preferred medium is serigraphy, or screen printing, serve as far more than a mere background in graphic arts and printing. Belying the technical complexity inherent in printmaking, William's art portrays striking scenes of the unaffected natural beauty of New Hampshire. It is an incredible talent that William brings to his position in Printing Services.
