Where a imagesetter can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a imagesetter already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Imagesetters process images and graphic templates by using phototypesetting machines. They optimise the templates for the best possible result by determining the right arrangement of text and image on the print sheet. The product is then set onto photo paper or film.

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a imagesetter already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
