Glad you're making some headway. And I know what you're saying about hating computer stuff. As a graphic screen printer, my equipment is old school by today's standards. I turn knobs, adjust levers, and make adjustments manually based on the results I get, and prefer it that way! Our company has millions wrapped up in digital printing equipment and it's pretty awesome stuff. However, the printers cost $350k - $400k and they get replaced for the newest greatest upgrade every 3 years or so. My $10k - $20k presses are still making the company money after 2-3 decades!
I do have to run an abrasive water jet that is computer/software driven and it makes me nuts! When my screen presses put out a bad print it's on me. When the water jet decides to glitch out I generally have no idea why and end up dealing with tech support for half a day!

100% agree! Luckily there are a few things on buses that just can’t be printed digitally and screening is still required. Job security! Lol… I don’t think they’ll ever get rid of me. Damn kids don’t want to work with any equipment that doesn’t have a keyboard. Or worse yet, work in a field where you get ink on you and have to make decisions all by yourself!
