Printing

Today i took a field trip to Downtown LA to visit one of the West Coast's biggest printers. It was pretty insane to see how much equipment and manpower it takes to go from my computer screen to a printed page. Whether it was the car sized vats of ink that feed the presses, or learning how it takes 5 months to fully install a brand new web press, it was pretty amazing to say the least.

I found these old vocational films somewhere on the internet...pretty interesting to see how much has changed since the 40's...its even interesting to see how much as stayed the same...
