Who Stands at the Point of Production?

As a circulation director several years ago, I found it very important to see firsthand the points of production. So I made it a priority to visit the catalog printing plant. The factory staffers were very cooperative in explaining each step they performed. In the various offices, I got to see the data-handling and color-separation systems, as well as the proofing and color checking. On the plant floor, every machine from the rotogravure press to the bindery line to the ink-jet addressing conveyor was run by friendly, skilled employees pleased to tell me what they did.
