You should be asking for $15-$17 an hour. I always find that giving a range goes over really and its kind of a non-threatening (and almost non-answer) way of approaching to topic of money. Lets them know what works for you without really putting them on the spot to match an exact figure. The key to giving a range is to make sure that what you have as your low is totally and 100% acceptable to you. Never give a range of $11-$17.....always make it within 2-3 dollars an hour or 2-3 thousand dollars either way on a salary.
The $30-35/k per year is an accurate salary for prepress work (unless you are in India and then its $30-35 dollars per year)....that works out to be between $15-17 an hour.
Always make sure to sign a contract.....even if it is a long-term permanant position.
