Much like a lion-tamer, Dave persuades the press to do fancy tricks: match Pantone, don’t feed too fast, get the right amount of air flowing.

Pat’s Press is the Greenest
My fellow pressperson, Pat, has the greenest press in the shop. From a lush green carpet for comfortable footing all the way up to the very top with a leafy, happy bamboo plant for ambient eye candy. Pat’s press is the swankiest.
Joe Knows
Joe knows how to make a happy press. He is printing the second color on a set of business cards. Text printed in taupe ink paired with a vivid blue logo makes a fun combination.
We have weird stuff in our drawers!
Wrenches, suckers, hoses, & gauge pins oh my!
Paper Feeding
See how far the top of the paper stack is away from the holes and springy fingers? That’s a good space for smooth sheet feeding. Keep the stack rising at this constant rate depending on paper thickness, amount of air blast, angle of suckers and where air blast fluffs up the stack and you’re in business as a smooth operator.
Questions…
Can you guess what card Joe is printing today?

The leaves are just starting to change colors, the air has been a bit nippy. Autumn is creeping in and holiday themes are popping up here and there now. It’s almost undeniable sweater season.
A Sublime Poster Project
Today on the Vandercook Universal 1 we printed a commemorative poster for the Penrod Arts Fair in Indianapolis. This utterly charming piece features a dapper gentleman that counterpoints the bold graphics. Love it!
