Speaker 1: the fifty five krs Morning Show from the Cincinnati Print
Speaker 1: and Type Museum, Gary Walton, Gary GOODI, you have you
Speaker 1: back on the Morning Show.
Speaker 3: Glad to be here.
Speaker 1: I would also thank my mom, who did a tour
Speaker 1: of the CINCINNTI Print Museum and was the one that
Speaker 1: alerted to me of its existence and maybe something that
Speaker 1: I should already have known about, because, as you explained
Speaker 1: last time, you're on and you can remind my listeners
Speaker 1: about the history and how close Cincinnati is and the
Speaker 1: history of Cincinnati and its connection with the print industry
Speaker 1: generally speaking.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we are truly the sleeping Giant. There are over
Speaker 3: three hundred printers in Cincinnati, and I know that for
Speaker 3: a fact because I have them on my mailing list
Speaker 3: and I send them our newsletter every year. And we
Speaker 3: are the twelfth largest printing center in the United States,
Speaker 3: which is huge when you realize there are two one
Speaker 3: hundred and thirty metropolitan areas in the United States and
Speaker 3: we're number twelve. So there's fifty cities that are bigger
Speaker 3: than we are and we do more print. So our
Speaker 3: model here is life revolves around print, and it truly
Speaker 3: does in Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: And you can tour the museum and we'll get some
Speaker 1: details on that. But also it's an education opportunity and
Speaker 1: a career opportunity to get in the print industry.
Speaker 3: Yes, So Tuesday the twenty fourth, and Wednesday the twenty fifth,
Speaker 3: and Saturday twenty eighth of this month, we are conducting
Speaker 3: a celebration of Gutenberg six hundred and twenty fifth birthday.
Speaker 3: It's totally free. It's an open house from ten am
Speaker 3: to three pm and people can come and actually print
Speaker 3: on our Gutenberg press a copy of Genesis chapter one
Speaker 3: in Latin, and then you go in the back room
Speaker 3: and you print it again in English. So you leave
Speaker 3: with a Latin copy and an English copy of the
Speaker 3: exact image that Gutenberg actually creative. And then while you're here,
Speaker 3: we're going to talk about crew opportunities in print and
Speaker 3: about actually placing. If you want a job in print,
Speaker 3: we can help you set up and get that. But
Speaker 3: also we're doing a lot of training lately, especially with
Speaker 3: adults with disability. That's our new focus right now, which
Speaker 3: we're just having a blast with and so you and
Speaker 3: you come, you'll actually get to meet a fad who
Speaker 3: has autism, and he will do a lot of the
Speaker 3: demonstrating on the presses for you, and you'll see how
Speaker 3: we're able to help this community find employment. And ninety
Speaker 3: five percent of adults with disability or unemployed, and our
Speaker 3: goal is to change that, especially here in Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: Oh that's fantastic. I had no idea you worked with
Speaker 1: folks struggling with disabilities. So I have a friends. His
Speaker 1: son is Ausberger's syndrome, and the kid is, in spite
Speaker 1: of his autism, is really quite frankly, a brilliant, brilliant
Speaker 1: young man. Yes, and he is employed full time. And
Speaker 1: obviously there are opportunities. And the print is, as you mentioned,
Speaker 1: the Gutenberg Press, that has got to be So you're
Speaker 1: actually if I go there or one of my listeners
Speaker 1: goes there, they're actually going to operate that Gutenberg press
Speaker 1: themselves in printing the copy of the page of this Bible.
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm gonna, I am. My staff will system, but
Speaker 3: people actually ink it up, they'll pull the lever. Yeah,
Speaker 3: they'll actually do it themselves.
Speaker 1: Oh that's neat, And how old is is the Gutenberg press.
Speaker 3: That you have, so so the original one is something
Speaker 3: like six years old, and that doesn't exist anymore. Ours
Speaker 3: was actually built in nineteen seventy one by a gentleman
Speaker 3: who was contracted by the Smithsonian to build one for them,
Speaker 3: and he had so much fun putting it together he
Speaker 3: built two more, so I have one now and then
Speaker 3: the Museum in Los Angeles as the second.
Speaker 1: Oh so he built three.
Speaker 3: Of them, and they're in the Smithsonian Los Angeles and
Speaker 3: now in Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: So it's a rare thing to even see one in person,
Speaker 1: let alone operate it.
Speaker 3: We believe there's only in our research, there's only ten
Speaker 3: Gutenberg presses in the United States. So yes, this is
Speaker 3: definitely something to see, and we're becoming nationally known, an
Speaker 3: international not exaggerating. Yesterday Jones from Spain was here because
Speaker 3: you heard we had a press and he got to
Speaker 3: print on the Gutenberg press. And we've got people from
Speaker 3: all over the country coming. Google is doing a fantastic
Speaker 3: job of advertising for us. When you put in letter
Speaker 3: press printing, we pop up on as one of the
Speaker 3: first places to go. And we broke broke a record
Speaker 3: last year, over a thousand and three hundred people came
Speaker 3: to the museum, and a hundred those were from other
Speaker 3: parts of the country, and I think this year we'll
Speaker 3: probably double that.
Speaker 1: Oh that's wonderful putting you on the map and keeping
Speaker 1: you in growing your presence, and putting Cincinnati on the
Speaker 1: map too. As far as the printing industry goes now,
Speaker 1: I think when I think of the of press, honestly,
Speaker 1: when we've talked, or before we talked last time, and
Speaker 1: before I became aware of modern press and what that means,
Speaker 1: you know, I had in mind, you know, the the
Speaker 1: newspaper presses and you know how those run. You've seen
Speaker 1: them in movies a million times. And also Gutenberg Press
Speaker 1: and the type setters who put the little letters together
Speaker 1: in order to create the plate for the press. And
Speaker 1: that's all old school. When you were on last time,
Speaker 1: you talked about some of the modern printing that's going on.
Speaker 1: Give my listeners a little bit of insight and reminder
Speaker 1: about what that involves.
Speaker 3: So when you speak of printing, there are six different
Speaker 3: ways to put ink or tone of powder onto paper, plastic, metal,
Speaker 3: or wood. So printing is not just paper anymore. It's
Speaker 3: it's everything. So when you look at your Mac computer.
Speaker 3: There is printing on your Mac computer. When you look
Speaker 3: at your watch, there's printing on your watch. When you
Speaker 3: go in the kitchen your microwave, that whole panel was
Speaker 3: printed on a traditional press. So the industry is drastically changing,
Speaker 3: drastic growing. When I started in the seventies, I'll never forget.
Speaker 3: I was at gifts and greeting cards and we're running
Speaker 3: a press printing a fifty enth sheet of paper, fifty
Speaker 3: green cards on that paper, and we were going three
Speaker 3: five hundred copies an hour, which was fast. Today, I'll
Speaker 3: take you to that, it's just a similar plant and
Speaker 3: same press now printing ten colors and running something ridiculous
Speaker 3: of twenty thousand copies or sheets the paper an hour.
Speaker 3: So the speed is just incredible. We are using artificial intelligence,
Speaker 3: so we actually have the machine actually has cameras that
Speaker 3: are looking at the color making adjustments that they needed.
Speaker 3: And so this is really helping us be extremely productive
Speaker 3: in producing quality products. And one of my goals is
Speaker 3: I want Cincinnati to be a leader in this new
Speaker 3: technology called printing electronics. We're actually printing circuit boards and
Speaker 3: antennas and all kinds of electronic devices. Because in the
Speaker 3: next ten years every electronic device was starting to pressureroom
Speaker 3: because of the cost saving its huge cost savings.
Speaker 1: And that's honestly, that is one of the more fascinating
Speaker 1: elements about it. This is an evolving thing because again
Speaker 1: preconceived notions about what you know printing involves you think, well,
Speaker 1: this is an industry that's going to go the way
Speaker 1: of the Dodo, But no, it just keeps getting bigger,
Speaker 1: and the opportunities for printing, like those circuit boards, just
Speaker 1: keep getting bigger as well. So this is a career
Speaker 1: opportunity and you might want to check it out again
Speaker 1: June twenty fourth, and funny at twenty fifth and the
Speaker 1: twenty eighth as well. Yes, okay, Saturday, ten am to
Speaker 1: three pm. What's the address of the since Type in
Speaker 1: Print Museum, Because it's not just these events. You can
Speaker 1: go and visit at other times. And I'd like you
Speaker 1: to also provide the website. We'll have all this hooked
Speaker 1: up on my blog page fifty five Casey dot com.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're located at twenty three seven West A Street.
Speaker 3: There is a gravel parking lot on the right side,
Speaker 3: but also you can park on the street. We are
Speaker 3: open to the public at anytime. We are free. When
Speaker 3: I started this museum nine years ago, I decided it
Speaker 3: was going to be free so that anybody of any
Speaker 3: level financially could come and not have to worry about
Speaker 3: paying for a fee. Also, but I got to honest
Speaker 3: with you, it's a carrot to get you in, to
Speaker 3: convince you to go into print and make you ambassadors
Speaker 3: or our model, which is that your life revolves around print.
Speaker 3: You know, as you start looking at everything that's around you,
Speaker 3: most of you have for micro countertops, that's a pressure
Speaker 3: that we print it. You're putting this new flooring material
Speaker 3: into your kitchen, those are pressures that we print it
Speaker 3: and then laminate it to board. When you go into
Speaker 3: a typical Walmart or marketplace, throw over three hundred and
Speaker 3: fifty thousand packages, that all has to be reproduced every
Speaker 3: thirty days because we consume those packages. So printing is
Speaker 3: just huge and most people are totally ignorant of that.
Speaker 3: And like I say, we are the sleeping giant. And
Speaker 3: then again also I criticize ourselves. We are the reason
Speaker 3: why people don't know. And the museum is going to
Speaker 3: change that. It's definitely here in Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: Well, you know what, Gary, that's why I loved having
Speaker 1: you on the program last time and why I'm glad
Speaker 1: you're back today because it is fascinating. It's much bigger
Speaker 1: than we ever knew about. And of course, being of
Speaker 1: the capitals of printing in the world and considering the
Speaker 1: size of the industry, career opportunities abound. Gary Walton from
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Type and Print Museum, appreciate your time and
Speaker 1: what you do each and every day. If my listeners
