Me Inside The Stripping Room

You may think I'm inside the vivacious, kumukutitap all out thing coz the title seemed lusty, no it's not! I'm inside the negative stripping room where you gather the negatives, have it stripped or cut place it on a masking and flat arranged according to their respective signatures like Front and Back to get it done and turned it into a book! Behind me are the "stripped" or "cut"out negatives to be used for this particular project.

Behind me are the negatives that were dried up to be placed on masking and flat.

Stocks of flat arranged according to their names.

Bland shot!

To my right is the mock-up for Cup Cake and eventually rejected by my boss and she decided to redesign it.

Me and Benjo. He's our Negative Stripper and have been in the company for 20 years plus now. He's stripping a negative when I took this shot.

Negatives on the table ready to be stripped!

Benjo is checking the negatives for separate color.

In modern day printing, negative *Computer to Negative)  is replaced by CTP (Computer to Plate) system. You are not going into process of using chemicals and stripping it to finish a flat. CTP will directly "print" the image into the plate and have it run in no time!
