But if it's any consolation a decade before komori...

I've just come across this vlog and you are right,no money or conventional skill in printing anymore,I left the trade 5 years ago and I'm happy being paid £12.50ph for cleaning and mopping floors

A lost art form, I’m not a master pressman and I’ve been doing it for forty years. Now days they hire anyone who can run a laptop. Sad but true 🤬

А вы на какой машине работаете?

david c , Someone did say no need to draw a sheet, but that relates to calibrating the color control system. On competitive or older systems, you would run the press up to color, reach target density and draw a sheet from the delivery to scan and confirm you have an "OK" sheet. Once scanned, you tell the press to take over control. That increases make-ready waste and time. With our InlineColorPilot system, the system calibrates inline and reaches target density and notifies the Printer it has reached the "OK" sheet target density. An Operator would draw the sheet but would NOT scan at the console to calibrate the system, because it's already done. To enter full production, the Printer simply switches the good sheet counter on and that's it. This is of course provided the sheet is on target. It requires the press be properly finger printed and accurate curves on plates to achieve.

@@manrolandinc Once upon a time it was a tradesmans skill. Now it's terminology and electronics. Tell me - do your 'systems' set the ink rollers as well? Change a back cylinder jacket? I doubt it.

@@dp369 Even with the new systems, it still is and will always be a tradesman skill that achieves successful print and performance. The newer systems are designed to aid the Operator of the press to achieve a quicker result with fewer steps involved through technology.

Course not because there's a risk of the printer scratching one nail. High Tech!

what are you talking about

LOL, it is; áll is 'digital, nothing 'fingerprints'.

Than learn book Print

I started my apprenticeship by the age of 16 years old. Roland Parva 2 colours with no alcohol!! I was born in 1963. High printing skills it was to be a printer and paper was also bad quality turning sometimes a nightmare setting up the feeder. I miss so much my apprenticeship but I would love to watch the present Master printers operating the old printing machines without alcohol!! (water sleeves).

These machines are a lot more complicated than you realise

@@jimbrown4456 they are not....I've worked 4 colour machines with auto plate auto ink....it's boring not like when I first started out it was a skill to be able to print.
