After the presentation today I was wondering how commercial printing works. The video link posted below gave me some insight to how it is done. It struck me how printing has become so much less an art and craft and more of something anyone could do. The computers do most of the work and there is no man power involved at all in the actual printing. The machines used are also much larger than what was used today although that may just be because they are commercial and meant for bigger jobs. On the other hand, I saw some similarities although they were slight such as how the machine works. It reminds me of the machine that was demonstrated today only more modern so in some ways the printing is similar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUlBueqStg4
