PRINTING INDUSTRY VETERANS — LASTING IMPRESSIONS

Within two hours, the color was accurate, and the second shift had finally shaken off its negative perception. The customer was thrilled as he signed off on the job while standing in the pressroom.

Lay was rejoicing, as well, but the elation was short lived as he spotted a 35˝ roll of paper, weighing 1,800 pounds, break away from the roll tender. It was gradually making its way, at a robust 5 miles per hour, toward Lay and the customer. The latter remained completely unaware, gushing at the print quality as he applied his signature to the proof. Lay began to sweat, wondering at what point he would need to ask the customer to kindly step out of the way of the oncoming boulder.
