So interesting for me to watch. My grandfather worked as a typesetter/lino man in Waco and Greeley Colorado for about 40 years from around 1926-1960-1970. I was the youngest of the grandkids so never got to go see what it was he did. He loved the job, so it is great to watch this. Also interesting to see that it was on a vocational film. Not that this wasn't a huge job industry, but we tend to forget how important it was.

Been my entire career. Letterpress, offset lithography, flexography, rotogravure, printing inks. Still strong in 1975. Many things are gone in 2024. Items of the craft are largely carried on by hobbyists today. No one who wants a future would seek this industry out today. Top wages earned today exceed the union wages of the most elite craftsmen of the late 70’s.

The worker at 8:57 screwed up. You always lay the planer on its side, not face down where it could pick up flakes of type metal, scratching the type.

The printing industry was an awesome place to work years ago. The last 15 years its all but dried up. The computer helped it and then hurt it very bad!

My dad used to resent computers passionately because of what they did to this/his profession. He worked for newspapers anywhere he went as a member of the printers union or something like that. He retired as a letterpress man running a dying company after he had to partner with it when his operation could no longer sustain itself. Cheers
