This is for historical purposes. The printing press will not always be around and it is my goal to preserve the craft.
This is part 1 out of 3. When someone is first hired they are a reel tender, or reel room operator. They must become competent in their duties before they are allowed to advance.

Heidelberg Speedmaster sheetfed operator here, occasionally we used to get those mill splices and if you didn't spot them, they would smash the blankets and on my press that is six effing blankets. Thanks a lot you Mill operators.

Wow I wish our Pressroom had a quiet room for our web press

@williamcoitesr1896 11 месяцев назад

I can run both sides of a press. For sure!!! I have been business for 21 years. It’s definitely not complicated. My resume will speak it self if needed

@Mjg503 5 месяцев назад

Nice stainless steel door on that quiet room. Big money for that.

@leshopkins45 4 года назад

Sincere thanks! Started in 1973 in the linotype and hot metal days at the Wichita Falls Times and Record News. (Staff artist, but did all the registration and separations on the front end of my ads). Since my Dad was a machinist in large job shops, and we had a machine shop at home too, I loved machinery and still do -- to stand in the press room and see that Heidelberg running full blast, and all the pressmen (yes, men, and a proud and skillful team), working together in a rare and wonderful choreography.

Greatest job I ever had, 25 years press operator, foreman, press manager.

@markmars2154 2 года назад

In the 90's I'd cut the cardboard off the ends of the roll just enough to slip the roll out. I'd tape the cardboard back up and it would look like a normal roll of paper. When someone was near me I'd pick it up with my hands. Or I would roll it around, go to one side and pick it up and put it on its end. The look on people's faces would be priceless 🤣.

@Distractor_Beam 2 года назад

That's a great idea! I have to try that. :)

@markmars2154 2 года назад

@@Distractor_Beam Lol. Have fun with it.

@beanheadshop Год назад

22:12 A good practice is using cardboard to spin the roll. Make it easy to spin and doesn't damage the roll. Great video

This is very helpful for those considering a job as a Reel Tender. Thank you!

@phester6811 2 месяца назад

When I had to reposition a full roll I used some of the brown wrapper and folded it into a small square so it was about a half inch thick , then I pushed the roll onto it and then you are able to swivel the roll in any direction with ease.

Roll tender for 14 years At CTD in Columbia Missouri. Well don sir. Damn rookie's

@tomballard8877 Год назад

Ran a goss metro . Reelroom was manually done with flying w’s patterns. A clean break wasn’t to bad but if it made bad noises it could smashed blankets,wrapped rollers or worse.

@michaelrouw2117 9 месяцев назад

In 70s that reel stand was called a flying splice. That was on a Baker Perkins twin satellite press. Heat set commercial printing. Press owned by Readers Digest. Sydney Australia.🤪

@Hackneychap 4 года назад

This is excellent. My father was a reelhand with the Financial Times when it was in Fleet St. in London UK. I've been in the litho trade for 30 years and im starting a new job as a No 3 reelhand next week. I' ll be watching this a good number of times before I start. Thanks so much for posting.

@rolotomassi7824 5 лет назад

Good Job!! I have always given my newbies a similar intro to reelstands, I have found if you are clear and explain exactly whats expected of them and why, they will perform way better. I run a MAN Roland Regioman.

@gregwyatt8108 3 года назад

I worked 30 years running presses, this press is way more automated than what I worked on, the press I worked on had a page capacity of 128 pages, for the Sunday paper we could use up 88 rolls, usually you ran 2 reel stands, once the press started you be making pasters about every 10 min for 4 hrs straight. I worked on all Goss presses letter press and offset

@ianteare4021 3 года назад

What grm paper.. I used to handle 45 to 85.. 85 was a pig.. Web breaks all day.. Goss 50 reel stand. Collect was another pain in my side.. turn sheets slips.. Breaking news even. But my biggest concern was slab waste 🤬

@EvilSnipa 2 года назад

Should clean the finger guards too at 27:27 to prevent Ink Birds. Nice Video!

@rgraz4929 Месяц назад

I was a roll tender for a few years in the early 80s. It's dirtiest, most toxic job in printing. Spent the rest of my career in the prepress department on the stripping table and Mac.

@ianteare4021 3 года назад

10 mins in.. my old work mate used reels like that for start up.. then the splice came and the printers would kick off.. as they got the fit in and the splice would knock it out 💝💝😂😂company man..

@philanderson1200 3 месяца назад

At RR Donnelly we ran 107 inch wide rolls. Rolls had to be moved with a air drive assist. Moving by hand wasn't possible.

@distractor_beamreviews 3 месяца назад

That sounds intense. Was that 8 pages wide?

@Bmw2473 3 года назад

I work with UV flexo printing presses, do you guys actually print anything on this paper or what is it used for? We do narrow web which is under 17” wide and print with ink/aniloxs/rotary screens.

@jimbrown4456 3 года назад

The people I work with insist in throwing the plastic waste into the paper waste and vice versa 😒 I hate these people

@sean2743 6 лет назад

lol you rejected that roll? we would have to peel it down...that would only be about 600lbs wouldn't take long :)

@Distractor_Beam 6 лет назад

What's your process for peeling down 600 pounds quickly?

@sean2743 6 лет назад

use the tip of my olfa knife to break at least 50-75 layers then peel in a v shape grab tip and pull across ,,,the damage shown on the roll in your video i bet i could peel down and discard all waste in about 8 min ,,ive been printing for 20 years now and have had my share of damaged rolls many times lol...we do send some back but most of the time we peel it down and recycle,i have worked on a 21" cover press right up to a 76" press. coated and uncoated stocks ...some of our roll deckers dont know how to drive and smash the shit out of rolls ,or drop them on their edge.i dont have to deal with that anymore since im now a 3rd pressman /2nd pressman ;)

@michael.don457 5 лет назад

Our paper supplier gives us 'roll peelers' and since that is newsprint you could have that peeled down in a few minutes. We have also used a skil saw to peel lots of paper in a short amount of time on coated stocks.

@buffalo7793 3 года назад

Until now, the newspaper printing machine at my workplace is older than yours, and even the roller paper have to be pushed and turned by my selves. Soooooooooo sad

@Distractor_Beam 4 года назад

Yeah, the silver sticker on the top left gets picked up by a sensor and it automatically dumps the pasters. No need to hand scoop them.

@jasonwitt3423 Год назад

I'm kind of surprised you guys don't use rippers when stripping the rolls.

@distractor_beamreviews Год назад

I never had good luck with those. Either the tool blows out the top, or I have to angle it down and risk damaging the paper underneath. I just got used to doing it by hand.
