My family have been working in a printing offset press for almost 20 years and we've figured it out how almost every printed paperworks is printed that we can start our own business. It always satisfying to watch all of the machine running everytime I visited the shop. And also you will love the smell of papers. Everyday smells like a fresh opened book.
I so miss running the windmill press, and the old letterhead presses. Silkscreened Flags and banners then did 16 years offset. Good to see the young not letting it die
The way other veteran printers talk about the enjoyment of working with this equipment has been a huge motivating factor for us. Every windmill operator we speak to really dedicated themselves to the art and practice of printing. We feel very privileged to be able to continue on with that same drive and spirit.
watching your printmaking videos makes me wish i was still pursuing a BFA in printmaking, i know every process as i took printmaking classes side by side with my other major, and i would love to work in such a studio some day. your registration and set up is always so clean!
Clean hands make clean prints! The work we do is more aligned with commercial design but the artistic side of things plays a big part too. Your printmaking background gives you enough experience to get into commercial printing. The challenge of producing someone else's art to the highest standard feels totally different than printing for yourself. I recommend working in commercial printing if you can, as the things you can learn would help you improve on your own artistic pursuits.
I need a job like this. I worked at a copy/print place several years ago, but we never got to do any of the die-cutting, screen printing, letterpress, or any of the other awesome stuff I wanted to learn to do! Also, our paper guillotine was a POS that had a whole 1/8" difference between the top of the stack and the bottom, no matter how many times we repaired it. So many nights cutting things by hand so they looked nice... I'll never forgive that guillotine.
We're not afraid to do some hand cutting ourselves when the job requires it but that's an enormous difference on a guillotine! I can't even imagine the struggles of dealing with something like that. A guillotine is just as important as the press for doing precision work. My sympathies to you!
@@JukeboxPrintLive great content. recently your Pam AJ video popped up in my home . So I started watching almost all the videos of this channel which are very recent. I have some questions:- 1 . How nowadays modern printing difference from traditional? 2. You guys are printing just few hundred copies will it be effective? 3. How is that copper impression made ? I hope for the response.
Hi from South Africa. thank you for such a detailed video... I was wondering why you chose silkscreen, instead of Litho? Would you not be a cheaper option to work and turn 1 A2 sheet, with all your sections printed at 1 go? just curious? I would think using CTP plates, will give the best quality print, 100% registration, and consistent colour? thank you sir.
I understand creating a screen for stuff that needs to be printed frequently, but would you use that for batches of addresses? If you had 100s of addresses, you'd need to create a large number of screens?
We'd typically run something like that using variable, or dynamic, digital printing. Which would print one name and address on each envelope. We just wanted to showcase this suite without making use of that.
hi! What kind of paint and fabric do you use for silkscreen printing? I have a hobby of screen printing. I want to make posters for myself. Tell me if it's not a secret...thank you in advance!
@@JukeboxPrintLive could be, I've never done it myself, but I hear the smooth sound (think swish of thin rain coat on rain coat as you walk) that I associate with the squeegee but I also hear a crunching/fabric tearing (think sitting down in an old wicker chair) noise when they first start pushing down with the squeegee before they run it over the screen. The mental picture it gave me was the screen tearing, but I figured if that happened your alignment would steadily get worse.
I understand the use of the Pantone swatches but I’m curious as to what brand of ink you used to mix it all together? (I am familiar with letterpress but less informed about screen printing inks)
We use a standard speedball ink which makes Pantone matching a little more challenging than with the offset or letterpress inks. For this project we pretty much had to match by eye rather than a dedicated formula.
Such a maniacal art form. screen printing each address is to far in my book. for the shipping address. i would have given it a typewriter style ball to it, so to make it look like it came front the agents desk printer when shipping.
So what do you do with the outcome of the projects that you are using fictional information for (presuming that you aren't using ALL made up information on every project)? Is it marketing?
We really take privacy seriously so these made up projects become part of our sample packs that can be ordered from our website. That way clients can see what we're capable of even if the info is fictitious.
You might be hearing the screen adhering to, and lifting from, the paper stock underneath as the screen makes contact with the paper from the downward pressure of the squeegee.
We were only producing about 50 of these in total so an offset run would not have been cost effect or economical. I agree that a flood of ink on an offset press would've been a cleaner and more even print.
Might not be great to show names and addresses like that Edit by a 17min wiser commenter: never should have doubted jukebox knowing what they were doing, saw the explanation in a comment on part 2
Really? The second color black went down without any registration changes? Really? You hit it first time using old school clamps? I'd suggest that some sort of squeegee rest be fashioned so you can leave it in the screen between pulls. Will help with ink control, as opposed to setting it aside each time. Not that his ink control is bad. Back in the day of wood frames it was easy because a 8 or 16 penny nail did the trick but today with aluminum frames, something else is required. What are you using as an adhesive on the palate? Do you guys have any trouble with screen clogs with the water based ink?
Every sound that printing press makes is so weirdly satisfying
Music to our ears!

I'm addicted with printing. So satisfying to watch!
Thank you!
I can watch these videos all day long.
my brain is no breathing, its amazingly enchanted by your magic, I am like the Cobra enchanted by music of the flute, your art is amazing. thank you
I've learned silk screen printing on t shirts in art class during high school. This brings memories
I so miss running the windmill press, and the old letterhead presses. Silkscreened Flags and banners then did 16 years offset. Good to see the young not letting it die

Fascinating video. Such beautiful craftsmanship. Thank you for posting!
Glad you enjoyed it!
wow! can't believe the screen film very detail, amazing!
Glad you liked it! All from having a really high quality film negative!
im so blown away by this process, omg the colors...the possibilities. thanks guys

People should watch this instead of Tiktok
We totally agree with you!
Me: i don’t have time to do anything
also me: watching these
Wedding planned before or after covid?
Why does Jessica Williams get two envelops?
I noticed multiple people got 2

That must have been an expensive wedding invitation! It's absolutely beautiful, though!
You prommised that it will be dedicated wideo about die cutting, we are still waiting :)
waiting eagerly for part 3
It's coming very soon!

You are exactly right!
A wedding like this is expensive XD greetings from an Italian colleague
This machines are cool)
Very beautiful wedding idea. Is the creation of the design ideas on the customer side, on your side or a collaborative process?
The whole thing is an in-house project designed only for this video!

Digital or inkjet
Hey! Nice content.
Thanks for the visit!
I would have asked the edges of the Pam-Aj printed "folder" to be gold foiled. Would have have really punched it up a notch.
hi! What kind of paint and fabric do you use for silkscreen printing? I have a hobby of screen printing. I want to make posters for myself. Tell me if it's not a secret...thank you in advance!
that cracking sound
Se ve bien impreso
Maybe I can get a job printing one day, I have one sewing.
Adhesive on the back of the JB tissue paper for makeready...spray-on adhesive?
It's either that or I'll just lick the tissue paper and slap it down.
The wonders of saliva! :D
May I ask what the machine is? That is doing the die cutting.
Do you silk screen print for a better flood of color? Was just wondering as why it was not done on press.
That's exactly right!
When you're doing the silk screening process there's a creaking/fabric tearing noise, what's making that noise?
I believe you're hearing the squeegee running over the texture of the meshed screen!
@@JukeboxPrintLive could be, I've never done it myself, but I hear the smooth sound (think swish of thin rain coat on rain coat as you walk) that I associate with the squeegee but I also hear a crunching/fabric tearing (think sitting down in an old wicker chair) noise when they first start pushing down with the squeegee before they run it over the screen. The mental picture it gave me was the screen tearing, but I figured if that happened your alignment would steadily get worse.
@@BenRyherd I hear that too. A cracking sound that to my feeling shouldn't be there.
Maybe it's the seal tape complaining about the pressure?
@@JukeboxPrintLive it's really apparent on the step-and-repeat part, so I wonder if it has to do with all that mylar between the screen and the paper.
I understand the use of the Pantone swatches but I’m curious as to what brand of ink you used to mix it all together? (I am familiar with letterpress but less informed about screen printing inks)

You might be hearing the screen adhering to, and lifting from, the paper stock underneath as the screen makes contact with the paper from the downward pressure of the squeegee.
Why use screen peinting over mechanical offset? is there some quality benefit?
We were only producing about 50 of these in total so an offset run would not have been cost effect or economical. I agree that a flood of ink on an offset press would've been a cleaner and more even print.
How much it cost for each set?
No hablo ingles pero viendo tambien se aprende
Might not be great to show names and addresses like that
Edit by a 17min wiser commenter: never should have doubted jukebox knowing what they were doing, saw the explanation in a comment on part 2
I am going to hope they were dummy prints
Call us at 555-1234 to find out!
I want to know your machine is new or used and how to make a mold
This machine is from 1960. They don't make them anymore!
Since all addresses are a fake and you are printing a bunch of those, are they for a TV/Movie production?
We wanted to make them just to film this video! So, yes!
What is those big tubs of ink called?
We use waterbased Speedball Ink here for our flatstock printing!
@@JukeboxPrintLive thanks for the reply :)
すごい！
can we get the series without a voice too? This is great asmr. my kind of background noise.
Our latest video is just production with no voice-over. Check that one out!
What is the screen number in print
250
fuji xerox say : "Its so Complicated"
ha!
wtf where did the red go
Great question!
What is the name of the Dot Matrix font?
We used a digital typeface called "Fanfare Ticker"!
Why does it say "Pan AJ"? And to mix the inks accurately, they should be measured and not left to guesswork.
Really? The second color black went down without any registration changes? Really? You hit it first time using old school clamps?

Screen number of the print
250!
That's alot of doxing
The best porn i’ve ever seen
awful crack sound....
Uhhh...not sure you should have been showing those addresses... But otherwise exceedingly cool.
Don't worry Alex, the addresses are all fake!
