Printers Behind The Scenes

posted: Tuesday, 05 June 2018

An amazingly fascinating and educational evening at Newsprinters in Broxbourne where we got to go behind the scenes and watch the presses begin to roll on today’s papers.

From watching the 5,000 rolls of papers being moved, stored & unwrapped to seeing the printers loaded with plates and do a test run which is checked and adjusted. Then there was the mesmerising mechanisation of everything finishing with the folding, binding & loading into pallets & lorries.

It was like a crazy mash-up of Monsters Inc and Charlie & the Chocolate Factory.

An eye-opening few hours that will stay with me for a long time.
