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.

And now all that knowledge, skill, machinery, and other equipment is redundant, and a whole industry has gone out the window.

Thank god things come from China, cheap and Americans do not have to work to have money. The US government now supports people for not working so that workers in China will have a job!

The cards are extra thick and we print the foil on the edge of them. It creates a gold holo border on each card.

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.

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

Ha, kids today, no staying power, want instant satisfaction. There was a great deal of dexterity needed in setting type by hand, it's not as straightforward as it appears, learning your way around the jobbing case took a bit of doing too. Try visiting a jobbing shop, if you can find one, and get to understand the whole process.

@@richardd3663 I operated a Linotype in the late 1970s, setting hot lead slugs. My coworker, Harry, would set up the Heidelberg windmill presses, get them both running, and then stand in front of the cases setting type. Harry was deaf, so the noise of the shop never bothered him. When we’d “throw in,” (dump galleys of type onto the granite countertop to be replaced into the cases) Harry had no trouble distinguishing sorts. The p, d, b, and q all looked the same to me, but they didn’t slow Harry in the least.
