Henrique Santos

My professional journey through the Graphic Arts started while in college in a small printing shop, my main function was the finishings, operating an old printing press and the guillotine, sometimes I would assist the machine operators, that's when I found the Heidelberg Cylinder. Being a small shop came with its own disadvantages, my skill development was based around manual labor and could not reach capacity of an industrial setting.

Cut and Crease OPE at DuoCor (2026-02 – Present)

I moved to DuoCor in search of a more competitive and challenging work environment, my goal was to start operating cut and crease machinery full time which they where opened to, after six months I'm working the Heidelberg Cylinder and platen press. Moving to a more industrial setting changed the reality I was dealing with and was a key step for my adaptation to a fast paced and organized work environment, a more sizeable team also presented new challenges, such as logistics and timing but most of all communication.
