RECOMMENDATIONS

"About the time I took on the task of researching the eventual implementation of Computer To Plate at Spencer Press, I found "Uncle Dave" and his computer to plate pressroom forum on the internet. As with any evolving technology, there were a lot of discussions about which way the art form should develop. There were a lot of differing opinions, and of course things got, shall we say, heated at times. Dave did a masterful job of understanding the issues being discussed, as well as stepping in when a referee was warranted. Dave, through his comments and questions, was able to add the seeds that would spark new discussions on differing, but relevant, topics. Dave, thanks for CTPP, and thanks for your contribution to the industry. I know it helped me and it doubtless helped many others. -Dave Nilosek"
David Nilosek Technology Development Director, Spencer Press, was with another company when working with Dave at Printable Technologies Inc.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"When Dave built the forums at PrintPlanet he did so with an insight and an empathy with the requirements of all participants, whether vendors, consultants, printers or customers. As a result he created not just a technical solution to transfer information around, but a true community I believe strongly that that community improved the industry as a whole in enabling honest and free communication between the disparate parties, and an understanding of everyone's needs."
Martin Bailey, CTO, Global Graphics Software, was with another company when working with Dave at Printable Technologies Inc.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What can you say, Dave is the founder of one of, if not the, most important communities people in the graphics industry has ever had. I doubt there is anyone else in the print community that has made an impact to the degree that Dave has. Dave is professional in every respect, extremely intelligent and respected throughout the industry. Any organization would be lucky to have someone like Dave be involved with them."
Matt Beals, Preflight Engineer, Kaye-Smith, was with another company when working with Dave at Printable Technologies Inc."I have had opportunity to contribute to printplanet interne community which was founded, managed, maintained and moderated by Dave Mainwaring. Printplanet is a number one "community type" source for connecting graphic arts professionals all over the world, and it is hard to praise or explain enough how much my knowledge, business oportunities and friendships were influenced by printplanet community All of this because of determination of one single man."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Marko Rakar, Owner, Prius ltd., was with another company when working with Dave at Printable Technologies Inc.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The entire graphic arts community is indebted to "Uncle Dave" for his pioneering creation of the Print Planet forums. It is not often people have such foresight, and Dave struggled with what at the time was new technology in order to make it happen. The result of his efforts have been improved communications and tremendous knowledge sharing. He also managed the groups he created with integrity and a calm but steady hand. Stephen Beals, graphics industry writer and pre-press manager"
Stephen Beals, Contributing Writer, The Seybold Report, was with another company when working with Dave at Printable Technologies Inc.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I look back with nostalgia to the heady times when Dave and I created PrintPlanet.com. When I first saw what Dave was doing with the Computer to Plate Pressroom forum, I recognized that it had all the makings of a phenomenon within the industry. The last 11 years have proven that to be true, and it's thanks to Dave's skills in shepherding the community Dave's departure from PP marks the end of an era, and I am certainly looking forward to seeing what his next move will be."
Chuck Gehman, Vice President, Technology, Digital Art Exchange (DAX), managed Dave at Printable Technologies Inc.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Dave was able to take an idea and grow it into a massive knoweldge network where participants could share, learn and grow. For us as a supplier to the industry, this was a valuable resource and network among our customer base. He was able tap into new technology and make it work for the community as a whole. Dave is also down-to-earth and willing to help. His vision, ability to make it work, and generous spirit make for a wonderful combination and an asset to the industry."
Claudia Barbiero
"As one of the first members of the PrintPlanet forums I can say that Dave was the binding force that lead to its unprecedented success! His vision, leadership, and hands on management resulted in a worldwide audience with a comradery and synergy that benefited all. I am sorry to say that the new owners have tried to replace his persona with technology and I fear the end is near for this great group!"

David Lewis, President, Lucid Dream Software, was with another company when working with Dave at Printable Technologies Inc.
"Dave formed CTPP back when it was only the hard-core geeks of the prepress world using the comp.publish.prepress on USENET to stay on top of prepress related news. Dave made it much easier for many more people to enhance their careers, and he was foundational in making the online prepress related community more collegial and professional. He has my respect and appreciation."

Sterling Ledet, Training Center Manager, Enovation, worked with Dave at Printable Technologies Inc.
"Dave built and shepherded the printplanet.com forums from startup to a vibrant community where folks can ask easy or difficult questions and get intelligent answers."
