Ran one of these at R.R. Donnelley in the late 90s. Can't say I miss it, and I'm not in the industry any more, but there were some good times.

[@kylereese4542]

I'm at r.r. Donnelley now, training for roll tender.

[@troys9222]

@@kylereese4542 Cool. It's not a bad trade, but the plant I worked at closed in 2001, or I may have still been there. Wasn't willing to move to Glasgow, Kentucky to stay with them. Did stacker, rolltender, color tech, and made assistant operator right before they closed the doors.

Worked on #269, a six unit M1000 with a former board folder and also a double parallel folder for tabloids, Crawfordsville Division RRD. Even ran a form of National Geographic once., .One of the better jobs I had there. Once a great company to work for, now the absolute pits. Glad I took the retirement package some years ago. When asked if I miss it, I say, "Yes, but my aim continues to improve with practice."

[@troys9222]

@@simbacaspsun4998 I worked on an M1000B 8-unit with the same forming folder and double parallel unit and Rima stackers. There were also other crappy stackers we'd line up by the parallel unit. Those things were designed by the devil. Pure evil. Ill never forget the sound of a web break on that beast.

[@anthonymccoy1607]

i love the the smell of the shop and the shop and the sound of a good running press tick tick tick

Oh yeah, worked on one of these for 20 years. Thanks for sharing your video.

I just washed blankets on a Harris N-9000. Sadley our shop closes first week of December 2013 in Pittsburg,CA. I will miss this old massive Blue Beast! More importantly i will miss some of the finest, hardest working printers in the world that worked alongside me "in the trenches".

[@jaesindnb6197]

Urdaddyj94509 did you work for vertis /American color?

[@3dsmaxrocks699]

Worked as a paster at Butler Color Press in 1988. Used that same unit. When rolls were slightly crushed you had to use a sledgehammer to force the shaft thru............meanwhile you were running outta ink LOL Physically demanding and hot sweaty job.

[@paulbhensley]

that is so awesome! my dad used to run a harris. I forget what model but it was a goliath of a press. he just called it "press 16." he ran it by himself and always had to work overtime when he ran it.. so cool. reminds me of my dad when I was little. thanks for posting!....and that's a sharp looking press too! it looks brand new.

[@troys9222]

9 years later reply... The M1000B is not a press that one person can run. Harris/Hedelberg-Harris has made many styles, though.

[@dangquesadilla]

I worked with a 3 man crew on one like this as the 2nd pressman. You should at least have a lead pressman, 2nd pressman, roll tender and a stacker. We used to REALLY have to hustle with only three guys. Your dad was probably the lead pressman. Never thought I would miss those days. Cheers! 🍻

I used to load the reels on that and set up the splice

l hope the Press will allways be Free. We still need you !!!

[@goldraker5401]

The good old days! Once that ink gets in your blood. It never goes away!

[@troys9222]

That's what I was afraid of! Seriously though, I'm sure in my 6 years I exposed myself to some unrecommended amounts of chemicals in the trade. The ink wasn't too bad if I remember correctly, but the plate cleaners and other solutions were some nasty stuff.

[@dangquesadilla]

It's true though! Never thought I would miss it!

[@sixcues]

Hear that Slap Slap at 1:11 that's a cracked Plate, I bet PrePress is already working on a new plate for them.

[@wokemofo6511]

Worked on a 9 unit press just like that. She was a cover press mostly. I hated changing the ink ductors.

[@lukewise777]

This looks very close to press 75 I use to work on. We printed the tabs & maps etc for the phone books.

[@laundrewashington5277]

True but these old m1000's have product some of the best dot's ever! Just saying!!lol

worked on a few good old presses changed the air boxes on the back to the blanket washer fluid boxes set up

[@justsurfing2510]

Printing used to be such a well peying job back in the 1090s and early 2000s, but now there's just large printers like Quad & Donnelley which is a real shame.

[@asyouwish1143]

what a great press!

[@Sparky5]

The blue unit sounds like it has a cracked plate.

[@richardmitchell8213]

I used to hate webbing up the folder. But overall the press ran well.

[@greenmarine5]

Been in the trade for 30 years with 4 different companies across the United States and they all are the same. CSR's ( LOL now account executives ) promise customers turn around times without checking the schedule causing unnecessary overtime. Job tickets most of the time have wrong information, always an idiot in charge of scheduling and the fault of all the aforementioned always leads to finger pointing to someone else all while telling the CEO that everything is fine and in control. The Business is truly a balance of idiots, chaos and loss time with your family, I can't wait to retire and be done with it. Not disgruntled I actually enjoy printing, it's the office people that think we have a magic wand and Mind reading abilities. It is comical though to bring a job ticket into the office and make them change it, it's like a mouse move and a keyboard input is so difficult in their cozy quiet chair when they leave at 5 on the dot every day, life is so hard for them LOL.

[@wayneessar7489]

I used to get asked: What are we going to tell the customer!?! I answered, tell them the truth.
