This was just a wonderful field trip. We did not get to see the presses running as they just recently switched to doing a morning paper. Therefore, the presses run late in the evening. This though was (in my opinion) so much better because the kids all got to walk right up to the machines. Many of these machines are very dangerous and if in operation the kids would have been kept behind the viewing glass. They would never have been allowed on the floor right next to the machines.
Here he is showing the kids the technology - how the computers control the presses and the colors.
This is the area where the color is put on the paper and we could see yellow ink left over from the last run.
Look at the size of the paper rolls used. Isn't that amazing. They are huge!!
