Racks 4x as big and nastier / harder to clean, in fact - rapid access etc... barely even counts compared to litho IMOYup we had a rapid access processor for typesetting galleys (via Compugraphic Q5000 and Pagitek 5 systems to Linotypes) and Litho processor for film and stability prints and color keys. Cleaning the Litho processor was a Saturday job, wow, just so much work, and being hyper yout really made it a challenge

It would get so hot the ink would separate and get stringy. With those presses running, it was easily 120+ F out there. The pressman would come in at like 3 am and work until noon and go home. Hell, even in Sac at Sig-1, we shut down the digital presses by 2 because if you ran them after, you couldn't cool off the building and you'd start popping fuses.

Last post by Possum - May 20, 2023, 06:53:20 PMHow about the yellow sludge at the bottom of the fixer compartment of a phototypesetting processor? A co-worker said it looked like baby poop. Except she didn't use the word poop.
