Nowerdays you have to do this job alone with one guy pushing in paperrolls for 2 machines....

seemed like USAT liked the goss urbanites

looks like the good old days thanks for the video and good luck.

I served an apprenticeship at GOSS in Preston, England where the press was made. I was a patternmaker which made the patterns for the foundry to make the castings for the press. that was Coupes foundry, GOSS was a sub co,pany for Rockwell International, The Goss factory has gone and been built over, When a new press was made it was built and run in the factory, i always watched it.

Run on brothers.

I started on the whole press at the times picayune in New Orleans. My name is Matthew Otis

Super speed

Calendar cut

I worked for the Philadelphia Inquirer 46 years, at a blink of an eye the internet killed the business

Boy, that takes me back to the sixties and seventies. The press operators hated web breaks and they hated the one time I hit the red button to stop the press. It was an old Goss letterpress and I was working the mailroom and flying the press but they wouldn't slow it down for me and the folded papers were going all over the place. I was so damned frustrated that I turned the damned thing off. I wasn't supposed to touch any controls (not my department). Got in minor trouble but I didn't want to deal with folded papers all over the floor. But about a year later I was the guy who drove the pressman to the hospital when the press took off two of his fingers. That was not a good day at all.

30+ yrs in printing......these guys are straight Craftsmen

Half wide, doble circumference?

What speed was it actually running at?

I miss those urbanites presses I put in about 3 million hours on the job to bad their like the phone booth that doesn't exist anymore

Sad to see it end. Everybody there looks like my kind of people! 32 years in offset printing

Been in the printing industry since 1964. I just love to hear people tell me that the internet is the best way to places they advertisement. One think that people for forget, when a person opens a newspaper, magazine, book or mailer the printed ad is there every time a person looks at the page. On the internet the is gone is less than a few seconds, and might not show up again for hours, days or never.

Great, another newspaper Gannet left high and dry, last I heard Gannet was bankrupt serves them right

aprendi algo de esas emociones de partida de los periodicos/nervios

When I started in the late '80's, there were around 12-15 print shops that were big enough to have at least 1 web press around were I live. Now (end of 2020) I think there's 3? They all closing. Not enough work to keep them in business. Yeah, printing is definitely dying. Even the presses that are still around are getting replaced with completely all digital models....which are basically huge scanners/Xerox copying machines. Sad. So very sad. A skill that will eventually be lost in time. I had 25 years in the trade-for that I'm grateful. Learned a skill, met a lot of great people, and had a ton of fun doing it. Wouldn't take it back for the world!

Damn

I worked as a pressman on GOSS headliners, for Murdoch's Sunday Times, W Australia, this Press was inherited from his Dad, he said he would never sell, but he sold out to the WEST AUSTRALIAN, now he owns most of the world's media, hi to all you printers out there. From Australia...

Sounds great Mat👍 Please upload Golden wire,I can't seem to find it anywhere 🤔

Started printing phone books in 1970 for GTE , loved it 1st ones to print red in yellow page’s in des Plaines Il. Then went to a book manufacturer and printed reading books, retired after 42 years !They stoped appreciating me for what I was worth:)

Used to print the Cairns Post, North Queensland, Australia, running a UNIMAN 4/2. Key ducts, turbo units, tabloid daily. Ink for life.

What became of the people? And the press?

I installed this press in Olympia Washington When I worked for Gross Graphics . Any one remembers my name?

Long live print!!!!

I’ll shit my pants

Dust off & fire up that printing press !!! There's real news that needs print

turn those dampner motors down!

Goss baby 👍

so does it still print the daily olympian?

that looks like an urbanite? I worked on goss metro and community presses for35 years!

I work at a newspaper company in Chico, Ca. We don't have that many press man. I actually work down on post press inserting and stacking what comes off the press. That's really sad that that was the last run. I can't imagine if the ER were to close. I like my job although I'm young and have only worked there for a year.

and not one person with a true pressmens hat :((

So sad

I like Please can I work

Hmmmm, red button stop and a bad booster in the tension pit maybe?

I remember when I first started in the trade they said newspaper is presses or dying it's a dying trade that's what they told me and I worked in for on and off for almost 10 years and if you know how to do commercial work full color there's always work somewhere newspapers will be cutting back and I think newspapers will be giving away free someday where they just throw them to your house I get one throw to my house every week every Thursday it's a local paper and it's free and everybody reads it

I was around a 78" sheetfed 6/C with Aq and manual fountains were slow and expensive with all the labor. You see all the boys jumping around adjusting fountains: that's what killed the hourly cost. Web speed looks good but labor is bad news. Thanks for the video Mat and good luck.

i worked in newspaper print in the late 70s and all the 80s. working on harris and late a rockwell gazett(20 unit and 3 folders) wish i could go back in time i loved it.
