Behind The Scenes: Producing Present

The whole world of media production is fascinating. So, I asked our Print Consultant, Keith Anthony of K2 Print Media, Inc., to capture on video some of his experiences at the press check for What Does It Mean To Be Present? He graciously obliged.

This first video is the cover being printed and press checked. At this stage, we are making sure the ink levels are consistent after startup to ensure uniformity throughout the run.




This second video is the book binding process where the interior pages, end sheets, and cover are married to complete the book. This process involves three separate quality control checkpoints where QC personnel manually check the books. On average, they check every fifth book.



If you have any questions about this or would like to learn more about the vast expanse that is paper and printing, please feel free to contact Keith Anthony at keith@k2-pm.com If you’d like to purchase this beautiful book, please visit http://bit.ly/920ltG.
