Contrary to popular belief, our newly supersized wide format print operations aren’t run on jumbo-scaled presses by giants handling 4’x8′ foam boards as if they were sheets of paper.

It is, however, practically mythical how print-savvy, regular-sized humans can create larger-than-life prints.

Look, here’s one now!

Meet Brian Rohde, Wide Format Project Manager & Operator

Name & Title

Brian Rohde, Wide Format Project Manager & Operator

Hometown

Oconomowoc, WI

Career Background

I Started at Quad Graphics in the finishing department. Then I went to Plastic Services where I learned screen printing and worked my way up learning all the facets of the printing industry. From there, I was at Specialized Output Printing prior to joining Delzer.

What drew you to this industry?

I had a Friend at Plastic Services who asked if I could help him out. Through that, I found out that I am really good at printing and have not stopped since.

About Your Role at Delzer

Unlike Delzer’s digital and offset department who employ separate project managers and machine operators, I not only set up the artwork to be print ready, but I also run the machines. It’s a very hands-on role that requires strong attention to detail along with the skills needed to give quality output on the equipment.

What’s your favorite thing about Waukesha?

The way the roads all make sense.

My ability to handle whatever life throws at me.

Spending time outdoors: boating, hunting, fishing, and skiing.
