Printing Press


Sorry co-op kids, security would not let us take pictures and they wanted 1 Euro ($1.40) a postcard, so no pictures!  We saw examples of the printing press, how books were made, and learned about how Gutenberg had trouble selling his books, because no one knew how to read.  Nika and Christian's Dad works on a Huge Modern Printing Press in Corvallis.  He had fun compairing "offset printing" to the printer he works on which is a "digital printer".  In fact the huge printer Mr. West works on is why our family is visiting Germany.  There will be a big trade show where people from all over come to show their printers or come to buy a new printer for their business.
