David Hinds
Senior Account Executive for Impaxx
I have had the pleasure of working closely with Scott McClintock over the past year to design, manufacture, and oversee the roll out of a completely new line of packaging for StoneTech. Over the course of this project I have come to respect Scott’s creative talents, printing knowledge, and people skills. I can confidently recommend him to any position requiring a high degree of talent in the graphics arts industry. Let me give you a few details.
As a Senior Account Executive for Impaxx, a diversified print packaging company with 9 printing plants across the U.S., I worked with Scott to refresh the label design across StoneTech’s complete product line. Scott expertly managed this major project by first defining the parameters and capabilities of our flexographic presses. We then tested all process color images with press proofs to assure perfect color matches to the array of stone and tile images in each label format. We set copy, provided several proof revision, press checked the initial run of every item, and delivered all of this in a timely fashion.
Perhaps most importantly from StoneTech’s point of view, Scott got the most for the company’s money. He thoroughly evaluated several vendors in a competitive bidding process, did on sight audits of each plant, and finally determined which vendors had the right combination of equipment, skills, and cost controls to do the best job for StoneTech. The roll out was a complete success, done on time, and satisfied the graphic demands of all concerned.
In closing, I’d like to mention one small thing that speaks volumes of our respect for Scott. He has become one of the very few customers that we have given the discretion to move about our plant at will. In fact he is my only customer that has this discretion. We have learned that Scott has the graphic, design, prepress, color separating, and printing knowledge coupled with the right people skills to be an asset to us in moving freely about our plant to help monitor his work.
