Speaker 1: It's say forty fifty five KRCD talk station, Happy Friday,
Speaker 1: away from the headier news and talk about something that
Speaker 1: I learned a little bit about and I was unaware
Speaker 1: of I'm want to welcome to the fifty five Carsey
Speaker 1: Morning Show, Gary Walton, who's with the Cincinnati Type and
Speaker 1: Print Museum. Gary, it's a real pleasure to have you
Speaker 1: on the program. My mom took the tour of the
Speaker 1: Print and Type Museum and brought it to my Attention's like, wow,
Speaker 1: I didn't even know we had one of those. And
Speaker 1: then she starts going on about the Cincinnati having such
Speaker 1: a really big connection with printing, this whole concept of
Speaker 1: the art of printing. It's good to have you on
Speaker 1: the program. Gary, Welcome.
Speaker 3: Oh my pleasure to be able to share with Cincinnatians
Speaker 3: our motto, which is life revolves around print.
Speaker 1: Yes, indeed, and was a Guggenheim event to the printing
Speaker 1: press bringing print to the masses. What an amazing transformation,
Speaker 1: transformative moment in history that was. But it is an
Speaker 1: art form. It does take skills, and it does take
Speaker 1: training to learn how to do this. But the point
Speaker 1: that you do, there are career opportunities printing.
Speaker 3: Absolutely. Cincinnati has over three hundred printing establishments. When I
Speaker 3: say that, people look at me funny, And how would
Speaker 3: you know there's three hundred Because we mail our newsletter
Speaker 3: to over three hundred printing establishments. There is a huge
Speaker 3: shortage of graphic arts people going into print. Most of
Speaker 3: abody's being design, which is really a crowded field. But
Speaker 3: you need to consider the idea of going into print.
Speaker 3: And when you think of print, you're thinking probably the newspapers,
Speaker 3: which are not doing very well. But the print is
Speaker 3: way more than newspapers. And next time you go into
Speaker 3: a Walmart, just take a look at all the packaging
Speaker 3: that's there. There's over three hundred and fifty thousand packages
Speaker 3: that all need to produce every day. Your foreign matual
Speaker 3: is printed, your wallpapers printed, your appliances are printed, the
Speaker 3: clothing that you wear is printed. And in the future,
Speaker 3: the new technology which I want Cincinnati be a leader
Speaker 3: in is something called printing electronics, where we actually print
Speaker 3: electronic circuit boards. And we can do that right now,
Speaker 3: print electronic circuit boards, print parts of batteries, and I
Speaker 3: actually print antennas and other devices. So in the next
Speaker 3: five ten years, every electronic device starts in a press room.
Speaker 3: So and I can say I went Cincinnati, Ohio to
Speaker 3: be a leader in print electronics. And that's one of
Speaker 3: the things we're really pushing here at the Cincinnati Tick
Speaker 3: and Print Museum.
Speaker 1: Well, Gary, you just hit upon something that takes me
Speaker 1: in a different direction. That's the last thing I was
Speaker 1: thinking about. When you talk about printing, I'm thinking about,
Speaker 1: you know, the the paint and block where you stamp
Speaker 1: it in old school methodologies, and when you type, set
Speaker 1: and all that. Of course, a lot of that going
Speaker 1: the way of the DODO with modern computer printing, but
Speaker 1: that it's outside of the realm of just printing things
Speaker 1: that you view visually or that you read. And I
Speaker 1: guess you're talking about a form of three D printing.
Speaker 3: No, this is people immediately seeing three D printing. We're
Speaker 3: talking about traditional presses that every printer in Cincinnati has,
Speaker 3: and all the magic is in the ink. The ink
Speaker 3: is the magic. The ink is what conducts the flow
Speaker 3: of electricity. Batteries are just liquids of chemicals, so why
Speaker 3: can't we print liquid chemicals instead of liquid aks. So
Speaker 3: it's just traditional presses, not three D printing, not anything magical,
Speaker 3: just traditional presses. Now, the advantage of printingletronics is huge
Speaker 3: cost savings. So if you're manufacturing it's a cell phone,
Speaker 3: for example, I don't know if you noticed but the
Speaker 3: iPhone thirteen sold for one thousand dollars because I had one.
Speaker 3: I fell off the back of a truck the other
Speaker 3: day and cracked it, so I had to get an
Speaker 3: iPhone sixteen. The sixteen only cost me eight hundred dollars.
Speaker 3: Now why did it drop two hundred dollars Because of
Speaker 3: printed electronics. Your cell phone at this present moment now
Speaker 3: eighteen percent of its twenty percent is printed on a press.
Speaker 3: I can show you a picture at the museum where
Speaker 3: we have fifty phones up on a press sheet and
Speaker 3: the circuit board is printed, the antennau was printed, and
Speaker 3: parts of the battery. So this is the future. And
Speaker 3: also the other using we the printing industry are going
Speaker 3: to say the world of by reducing the use of
Speaker 3: fossil fuels. We have samples here at the Museum of
Speaker 3: printed solar panels. No we're talking about it is it's
Speaker 3: a plastic that you have it that we printed and
Speaker 3: the costs went from three hundred dollars to twenty dollars. See,
Speaker 3: this is going to change everything. And in the future
Speaker 3: your whole car will be a solar panel.
Speaker 1: And people who visit it is my mind is blown.
Speaker 1: I mean I've learned more about printing here in the
Speaker 1: last couple of minutes with you, Gary than I ever
Speaker 1: thought was even out there. Now people will learn all
Speaker 1: about this and when they take a tour of the
Speaker 1: of the type in Print Museum. This is how my
Speaker 1: mom stumbled upon it. But you talk about all this
Speaker 1: when you do tours.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So we want to encourage people to make an appointment,
Speaker 3: to go on our website and make an appointment, because
Speaker 3: this is a working museum. You don't come and just look.
Speaker 3: We put an apron on you and you actually physically print,
Speaker 3: and so we'll talk about the future of printing, and
Speaker 3: we'll talk about the past of printing. So when you
Speaker 3: leave here, you will become an ambassador for print like
Speaker 3: your mom had. Yeah. Actually, you to reach us, and
Speaker 3: that's our goal to make everybody and bachelor's a print
Speaker 3: in Cincinnati. You realized one hundred years ago was the
Speaker 3: second largest printing center in the world, and we said,
Speaker 3: we just have this history. And today twenty twenty five,
Speaker 3: we're still very strong. We're the twelfth largest printing center.
Speaker 3: There are forty cities in this country that are bigger
Speaker 3: than we are, but we do more print the printing
Speaker 3: industry in Cincinnati is still extremely strong.
Speaker 1: Eye opening reality going on here. It's Cincinnati Typeprint Museum
Speaker 1: dot org and Joe Streker will add that to my
Speaker 1: blog and podcast page fifty five caroc dot com. I
Speaker 1: saw an article on the Wall Street tran was either
Speaker 1: today or yesterday talking about the trades and high school
Speaker 1: juniors that are you know out there in the world.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of companies out there that are interacting
Speaker 1: with juniors and folks in the shop programs and hiring
Speaker 1: them right out of high school with career salary level jobs.
Speaker 1: And I would imagine this type of trade would be
Speaker 1: a wonderful opportunity for a young person. Do you have
Speaker 1: high Are you working with high schoolers along those lines
Speaker 1: at the Type Print Museum?
Speaker 3: Yes, we worked with Cincinnati Public schools and are training
Speaker 3: some of the individuals there. I also go out to
Speaker 3: I taught printing for thirty five years at Cincinnati State,
Speaker 3: and I'm happy to say that many of my graduates
Speaker 3: are making more money than some people with four your degrees.
Speaker 3: We had one hundred percent placement of our students when
Speaker 3: I was there, Just showing you the need for people
Speaker 3: going into the printing industry. So people who are making
Speaker 3: c's got really good jobs because the demand was so
Speaker 3: high and the supply was so low. And that's the
Speaker 3: case of all printing cities across the United States. There
Speaker 3: is a choice. Our number one problem is a lack
Speaker 3: of qualified, willing workers in our industry, and that's our fault.
Speaker 3: We did a bad job of promoting ourselves. And here
Speaker 3: at cincinnt teme In Print Museum, we're going to change
Speaker 3: that well.
Speaker 1: And I'm glad to be able to help you achieve
Speaker 1: that goal. I just I find the whole thing fascinating. Now,
Speaker 1: do you do his historic type printing? Like going back
Speaker 1: to my idea when I was in high school or
Speaker 1: in elementary school, you carved a wood block and then
Speaker 1: you put different colors and stamped it to make a
Speaker 1: graphic design poster. Does that work still being done there?
Speaker 3: Yes, the arts community still enjoys doing with a called
Speaker 3: minodum blocks or woodcuts, and so that's being done and
Speaker 3: we will be offering in the future classes on that.
Speaker 3: But when you come to the museum, the first thing
Speaker 3: you can see as an authentic Johann Gutenberg printing press
Speaker 3: from fourteen fifty five, and Gutenberg's main invention wasn't the press,
Speaker 3: but it's something called mobile type individual letters that he
Speaker 3: could assemble the form words, send this paragraphs and actual pages.
Speaker 3: And we'll go ahead and give you a litt announcement
Speaker 3: here on June twenty fourth, twenty fifth, and twenty eighth,
Speaker 3: we're going to be honoring Gutenberg's six hundred and twenty
Speaker 3: fifth birthday, and you can come to museum and you
Speaker 3: can actually print page one of the Book of Genesis
Speaker 3: the way that he would actually have printed it, and
Speaker 3: the individuals be the one actually doing that printing, not
Speaker 3: mean you'll be doing it and then take a copy home.
Speaker 1: That sounds like a lot of fun and interesting and
Speaker 1: historically informative as well. Type and Print Museum since any
