Trip to local printing house Fynske Medier

3rd semester at printing house

The change of paper in the machine is fascinating. In front gigantic roles of paper

November 1. 2010 3rd semester students visited a printing house as part of the Interdisciplinary Element “Publishing”. We wanted to see the workings of a highly automated printing house – and where better to go than where the local newspaper is printed. We were shown the entire process, from when the printing house receives pdf-files and turn them into aluminum plates, which are used for the printing process, to where the paper is packed and put on trucks. The press is 5-7 seconds on printing an entire newspaper, which is even stabled in the process. The newspapers are then carried into the packing room, which houses Europe’s longest automated insert line, where all kinds of inserts can be put into the finished newspaper – even DVD’s and samples of shampoo. We are very grateful for this chance to see a highly professional working environment.
