Fall of Autumn Filmstrip: Offset Printing
http://www.fallofautumn.com
Ever wonder how offset printing works? or when they’re going to pull the plug on the internet?
**Thanks YouTube for making this an Editor’s Pick/Featured HowTo and DIY video!**
This is the first filmstrip in a series Alan hopes to complete on the various printing techniques in use today. Blending education with ideology, the filmstrip presents a run down of the different parts and processes of the offset machine and talks with Eberhardt Press founder Charles Overbeck.
Edited and produced by Alan Lastufka. Cameraman: Joe Biel. Music: Sour Grapes and imadethismistake. Special thanks to Charles Overbeck. Distributed by www.fallofautumn.com

I never knew it was fall of autum distro, wow! Awesome video.
Thanks for the info …
Thanks for the info. I’ve learned something today.
Great videos. …
Great videos. They’ll be appreciated in my Editorial class.
I love offset …
I love offset printing. I took a graphics class in high school where we learned the offset method. We were also responsible for making the school paper and football programs. I still have some and they look just as good today as when they came off the press.
I just visited your …
I just visited your site, kudos for starting up the way you did and making it to the top. And, congrats on your award as best printer 2004, 2005. I didn’t see any of the products you offered online? Or, a price list?
Take a look at my print ship online, and tell me what you think. I’m interested to see what a veteran shop owner thinks of my site!
I have looked at a …
I have looked at a couple of these “online design and order” sites, and the systems they use…most are unattainable for small startups like me. I offer excellent quality, and low prices. If I purchased one of these proprietary online ordering and design systems, the overhead alone (to pay for the system) would not be worth it. Why are these systems so expensive? I’m going to let you know what I think of yer site. Brb.
Kudos! I agree with …
Kudos! I agree with this, and provide wholesale pricing (well, as wholesale as I can and still eat)because, like you (sort of, minus the anarchy thing maybe)I hate that some companies mark up their prices so much…for the same thing I sell for much less. Making a living, and ripping people off because they’re uniformed, are two different animals. I believe small mom and pop shops should be able to get the high quality printing the big dogs do…
Good Stuff, I was …
Good Stuff, I was looking for screen printing but this was very informative. I work for an embroidery company that also does printing but it’s on shirts/ apparel. Lots of similarities between the two.
Very nicely done. …
Very nicely done. I’ve worked in the printing trade 31 years and I think you’ve done a great job.
I like your video …
I like your video clip and have rated it as awesome. Do you have a famous or infamous ancestor? Please check out my latest clip.
I agree. Your …
I agree. Your video is great and I appreciate the art for sure…I just found the juxtaposition striking. I’m not sure if you’re implying that many or most American businesses (most of which are small) get 500% profits, but I’m pretty sure that’s not the case. Trading the fruits of our labor for a fair price is a blessing to me.
There’s a …
There’s a difference between being paid for your time/materials and 500% mark-ups. =)
You reject …
You reject capitalism…does that mean you print for free?
You reject …
You reject capitalism. So…you print for free?
Sweet!
Our company Lopez …
Our company Lopez Printing Inc. actually patented a online ordering and proofing system. We turned the Internet into a vessel to help us. If you get a chance just look at our site.
What kind of press? …
What kind of press? I run a Heidleberg printmaster 2/c and might train on a 6/c speedmaster, if certain people get fired or quit that is!

It is great that someone took the time to show my love of printing! I love Offset printing;)
I’ve heard this …
I’ve heard this from a few others too; most of them suggested a narrator for the technical explanations. So in the future, when I make the letterpress filmstrip, I’m going to have a narrator along with the on-camera person talking about the medium. This was my first attempt, and hopefully I’m learning from it. Thanks for watching.
Um… I still have …
Um… I still have no idea what offset printing is, I think this is less an explination of How it works as what someone thinks of offset printing compared to other forms, with a little bit of technical explination which would only benefit someone who has had expirence with different methods of printing. So, I guess it would be a good filmstrip to be seen at a stand at a printing convention or something, but not one someone new to this sort would understand easily.
Nice one there!
