Dawning of a new era

You've already seen our new and massive printer in Eric's blog. Tonight we're breaking it in.

The idea is that if we print our own proofs, we save time and money. These are the first pages. It seems like the longer we make the mag, the more we are able to do on our end. We started off writing and shooting pics, added layout, did some pre-press by making hi-res PDFs, and now we're printing our own proofs. Crazy.

What's next? Our own sheet-fed or web press?

But with great power comes great responsibility. The cost of saving money is learning how to do extra stuff and then having fewer people to blame if things go wrong.

So far, so good... Ideally on the readers' side, no one will be able to tell the difference.
