Every two weeks during the fall and spring semesters, the Brookhaven Courier staff is hard at work generating news and content for Brookhaven College. This is a behind-the-scenes look at the printing process for the publication.
3,000 copies of the Brookhaven Courier are printed.
Buckets of 4cp news- print ink, used for the presses, lay out in the open.The printing machine uses Harris cold set presses to ink the pages.The copies are finally print- ed, after a few runs to test for color corrections, and are transferred to a stack- er on the conveyor belt.Rolls of papers are stacked and ready to supply the machines.Pages of content are printed on metal plates and set aside by each machine in correct page order for printing.A pressman clips the plates that are processed in a prepress on a direct-to-plate machine.
A pressman feeds a new roll on to be spliced when the other roll runs out.
