 REACTION PAPER

Graphic Arts and Printing Technology or abbreviated GAPT is a degree course

dealing with the concepts about the process of producing or reproducing an image through
different kind of surfaces and plates but the same methods of application which is exposure
to light with the use of several machines. This is based from my conception about the first
semester.

From then, I knew already that this wouldn't be as easy, whereas there are so many
things you must have to bear in mind, like implementing the proper ordering of procedure to
prevent whatsoever would be the result which can't pleased your desired conclusion.
Furthermore, you should be in an active presence opening your all senses while performing
an activity especially in a light tight room places where your sense of sight is disabled. This
kind of circumstances did really intersected my path, when I was performing the halftoning
process which is quite different from any other process that produces image on a film. In
that juncture I mistook the extraction of the magenta screen from the copy board instead of
the exposed film. I didn't realize that the film was thinner than the quality of the screen, as a
result I bought it to the developer and then I did as a procedure utter. I had known later that
if it is developed it looses its effectiveness of producing a halftone dots on a film. In that
execution of wrong judgement there is an indispensible lesson I have learned that I can be
with at all times. I suggests “presence of mind”.

In that passing days, it have showed the gold of time and the measures that induced us
to implement patience and perseverance to accomplish objectives. I learned that every single
mistake have a lot of appropriate lessons, moreover mistakes will never be forever a
mistakes, but rather it will serve as your direction to do your work accurately when you
encounter the activity for the second time around.
