My friends dad owns a printers so I went to go see his company based in Ripon with Lizzie and Emma. It was really good to get to see the printers such as liphography printers in real life as well as the industrial digital printers. The liphography printers were not in use on the day we went to visit as Kevin (the owner) explained that there is not as high demand for liphographic prints as runs are genrally getting smaller as target audiences are so zoomed in you don't have to outreach to so many people and people are also using the interenet to do promotion and things instead. So the liphography printers only run once every few days, where as the digital printers run constantly everday all day.
It was really useful to get to talk about printing and setting up document from the perspective of an actual printer rather than a graphic designer and to be shown how processes work and also things that go wrong in print.
From going to see Kevin I feel like I have a greater understand of print which will really help when decided the content for my print manual.
