Karen,

I just wanted to let you know that I have found a job in the narrow web label industry. I have accepted a position at Prime Package and Label in St. Louis. I will be working in the Research and Development role for the company. I can say I head up the department but I am the only one in the department. This position was created when the owner read my resume, while they were looking for a CSR.

I would like to say again that I greatly appreciated the support of the tag and label scholarship while I was going to school. I don't believe this company is a member of the TLMI, but that may change.

Thanks again.

Mr. McDowell,

I just wanted to send along my thanks for the generous scholarship TLMI provided me during my final two years of school at Western Michigan University. After four eventful years, I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a 3.99 cumulative GPA and my BS in Imaging at the end of last month. My final semester was great and I earned a 4.0 GPA in five different courses while staying very busy with interviews and other job searching activities.

I'm proud to announce that I will be starting my career with the Eastman Kodak Company in Dayton, Ohio sometime in mid-June. For them, I will be working as an Imaging Scientist doing research and development tasks for new digital printing press technologies.

Certainly it is a very exciting time for me and I am really looking forward to starting and growing my career with Kodak. Who knew I'd go from interviewing with you in Plano while interning for Vertis two summers ago to here so soon?

I appreciate the opportunity that I received to earn my college education while being freed from much of the financial burden one often encounters. There is no doubt in my mind I was so successful in college due at least in part to the extra time I had to devote to my education. Again, my most sincere thanks go out to you and everyone else at TLMI who have provided me assistance - both monetary and otherwise - during my time in college.

Thank you and take care,

Steve DiLullo

I just wanted to take a quick minute to thank the TLMI group for donating scholarships to students in the printing industry. I received the scholarship while in my junior and senior years at Clemson University 1999-2000. The scholarship really helped keep my head above water financially, and being awarded the scholarship also helped boost the confidence I had in my abilities.

When I graduated from college I took job with Schawk, Inc out of Chicago as an assistant to the technical director learning/assisting with plate-making, sleeve and roller imaging and R&D projects. This job allowed me to gain an overall understanding of the pre-press and manufacturing process, and later I progressed into the technical director position.

Nearly three years ago I made a switch and began working for Esko as an FIQ Specialist. This position included traveling to customer’s facilities to consult on the digital imaging equipment and develop workflows from pre-press to press. I was promoted last year as the supervisor of this group leading the team of specialists. My favorite part of working with Esko continues to be meeting new people almost every week, sharing information, and learning from each other’s experiences. I am always excited when I enter a TLMI member’s facility – it always stirs appreciation for the group and their generosity.
