How did you get extra credit?

@@pawpatrolnews By turning in stuff that I printed. The thing is that I didn't even try for extra credit, I just had a lot of fun designing and/or printing out all kinds of stuff. So many different and equally fascinating printing methods, such as those similar to the ones in this video, to others like taking and developing photographic negatives inside of a darkroom, and even designing stuff on a computer, or silk screen printing (like what's used to print designs on clothing). The class was two hours long, but the time would always just fly by.

@@negative.infinity I was lucky enough to have the same class in high school years ago, and it was so awesome. I absolutely loved it. The chance to work in a full blown dark room, developing all kinds of photos, and the silk screen printing, were my two favorites. But everything in that class was fun.

I wish I could find the works of some current (modern) authors. I have started binding and journal/blank binding, but would love to be able to find the unbound pages or signatures to give as gifts this winter. If you, or anyone, knows how to get my hands on some, please contact me....please

Hi there. Printing press here. You'll love the new printers being designed right now. Check out the HP indigo 100k and V12. The Landa S10P/W10P. New xerography presses like the Kodak Nexfinity and KM C14000. Heidelberg has traditional lithography offset presses that is nearly automated where you only need to change the plates. Komori has the NS49, IS29, and new features where they autodetect bad prints and even numbers them so you know where they were from in the printed stack. There's also oddities like the JetPress where two companies decide to merge. Color management and screening types: check out HP ColorUp and XCMYK. also the DMAXX methodology. Some xerography printers now can do a hybrid AM/FM combination screening in one signature. HP also has EPM which replicates a large-enough CMYK-like gamut using only CMY plus some trickeries in screening and density. There's also transparent ink which you can build 3D layers out of. There are also new fascinations in the book binding world such as PUR binding and Canadian wiro binding. You can also execute smithesaw-like or side-stitch like bindings using not thread, but wires and really heavy machinery. There's also spine-forming saddle-stitch where saddled books look like they were perfect bound. Theres more fascinating stuff like 2-layered labels you CA. Peel of to reveal a new price etc. Or new postpress enhancements like Scodix if you want textures in your print. Lots of what we call printer porn these days

Tee Sri - Shut up. I mean...I agree.

True dat!

@@Simba______ you're not too paranoid. The buyer being supposedly away and asking for your bank details is a known scam. When they have your details for a supposed deposit (your name, bsb and account number and bank name), they attempt to use your info for a direct debit. Pretty sad. I've always assumed giving that info is safe, apparently not 100% safe. I had a phone up for sale on gumtree and literally within 10 minutes someone messaged me saying they're away but will pay me half through bank deposit right away and the other half when they return from their oil rig job. Didn't ask about the phone condition. ONLY accept cash. If it's something of high value, have the exchange take place in a public place or a police station if that's allowed, I wouldn't be giving out my address for a high value item.

My boy i dont even wear a hat

We had a lot of old books at home and we used to play with them as kids, mainly as pillars to prop up roller coaster made from H0 model rails and ping pong balls (they fit together perfectly). Most of them ripped and fell apart, old paper and cloth turn yellow dry and brittle and I don't understand how the book could actually hold together unless you handle it with white gloves on a museum stand and never open it more than 90 degrees. Apparentlyk, the books are not supposed to be opened or handled. Just to sit on shelves and collect dust.

You understand a tiny percentage of books are made this way right?

@@user-yn2ru2ep1j whaaatt? 😲no way. I died in the 14th century and was resurrected only a few months ago. I am still learning stuff. Tell me more.

@@muddyboots7753 Excellent snarkiness. Well done. However, your comment still implies you think books are mostly made this way. You'll try to buy physical books? Why? You're not supporting traditional bookbinding like this.

Yep. And the fun part is how so many modern terms you'll still see on computers came right out of the old manual printing days... upper case and lower case. Leading and kerning. All sorts. Mind your P's and Q's. And on and on. I know there are a lot more, but that's all I can remember at the moment.

@@JonBastian Thank you. I have a lot of respect for things like this.

manual typesetting has to be some tedious work. and think of the newspaper typesetter having to get it all done in time to run the presses in time to get the paper out. every day

My Daddy worked the finishing machines for Thompson Professional Publishing, and I've a cousin that worked with the composing implements. There is SO much to it!

You work *inside* of a printing press??

Cool job bro

Watch your step is all I can say about that.

What's your press called?

Congratulations

internet was available at that time, ik because im 27 as well

what !!! don bosco everywhere in india.

@Einstein Alberto are you indian?

@Einstein Alberto how can you write hindi ?

@Einstein Alberto Thank you Alberto

The Bradinator how do you think printed matter was produced before inkjet and laser printers?

Renville80 - I've seen real traditional book binding and it didn't involve a bunch of big machines. Real traditional book binding is all carefully crafted and handmade. This is more late 1800s to turn of the 20th century book binding incorporating industrial machines.

It does the same sort of work (ink and lead type, sheets sewn together) with just a lot of mechanical assistance. A book-binder from the 1700s would have loved how fast the sewing machine was rather than lamented a lost art or something. The book-binder wanted his job finished and his coin in hand just as any laborer. Of course, if you take that logic to its extreme conclusion, it could go either way. The 7th century scribe using the laser printer or Gutenberg's naysayers lamenting woodblock printing...

Traditional means, they wanted to keep the printing itself just like what early bookbinders used to do like ink-transfer rather than printing in a computer.

@@Layput The title of the video is "traditional BOOKBINDING" not "printing" and there is nothing traditional about this bookbinding process. And arguing that this printing method is the same as a Gutenberg press is like saying a lazer printer is the same as a dot matrix printer. There are so many steps that are left out of the process for the sake of speed.

The type setting and use of actual printing blocks is the traditional part. Doing entirely manual would increase the time and cost dramatically with a lot fewer prints.

@@prototypep4 well yeah. But when I hear the word "traditional" usually using a computer is the last thing that comes in my mind, especially something that was done before the creation of a computer.

Also disappointed in the use of cardboard. I was looking forward to see what materials they would use to replicate more antique books.

@@stepcai448 we have had analog computers for thousands of years.

@@scruffmcgruffthecrimedawg5661 that ain't an analogue computer though

...and to spell...

There are a wealth of videos showing all the steps in detail. Look for DAS Bookbinding in particular - he is an excellent teacher.
