  • Outstanding! 30 years of this shit! That was beautiful and will be aired at the next boring ass OSHA meeting.

  • I started a playlist called "Printing" on my YouTube account. It's going to be full of "must see" printing videos. This is on the top of the list. Who needs cable when this kind of content is available? This is right on Warren, thanks for taking the time to share your passion. Pazazz Printing is a great printing shop. You don't learn this stuff in a pretty college, you either have it or you don't.

  • Fuck working for gpi I wanna work with these fools

  • CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Wish I was still in it. Got laid off after 35 years. They laid us all off after opening a new pressroom up and fetched in some FNG,s. Told us we had to apply for our own jobs but there was no point as we had no experience on the new press they installed and you had to have it to apply for your job. It was a KBA Commander, the only one in the country. We got treated like shit. That's how it is in the UK just now. Great vid.

  • mmm been printing 25 yrs now in 2 countries and still enjoy it. nice vid

  • Here in Texas printing is hurting big time! Long live printing and drunken printers!!!

  • Once upon a time in 1981...

    Years estimating with a calculator + pencil + written on a piece of

    paper. (No PCs yet) Plate material and labor! Press setup! Plate change

    costs to memorize! Lamination setup + run then film + adhesive! Die cut

    setup and run. Stripping die cut lifts! Swifty right angle gluer ganged

    setup and run!

    The purchasing guy died in 1983 so it was estimator on Friday + sit down at

    the dead guy's desk on Monday! * * * * * continued * * * * *

  • 17 years and going.... I fucking LOVE Printing!

  • going on 20 now (prepress) and I share your sentiment.

  • haha very good

  • Only true printers get this - PRICELESS!!

  • Printing is not dead! I love my work! Be passionate!!

  • i bleed blanket wash

  • Great vid! Anybody that uses blanketwash to clean their hands knows too!

  • bravo bravo

  • YAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY Prepress

  • All you CSRs don't know shit about printing! Graphic Designers, pressmen, dock workers, and especially bindery workers fuckin rule!

  • i would just like to tell the beautiful creator if this video that the printmaking department at The University of the Arts in Philadelphia has officially adopted this video as our mascot. so from all of us, thank you. <3

  • This is actually my new favorite video!!!

  • I fucking love this guy. He is dead on. People think we take a big shit and there is a pallet of newspapers(that's what I print) thay have no freakin clue to the blood, sweet, and tears it takes to do a 3/4 million impressons in a 10 hour shift. With only 5 units of Headliner offset.the office boys are the worst they come back to the pressroom all better than us. With ther clean hands. Well I say fuckum. You print this shit mother fuckers and see how easy is. sorry for the bad words.

  • i think the worst is when i try to describe our industry, and people say "oh like KINKOs?" NOOOOOOO!!

  • Or the one I seem to get all the time: "oh, like t-shirt printing?" God forbid.

  • deadline deadline deadline Still I LOVE TO PRINT!!

    Printers=US AGAINST THE WORLD

  • Dude, this was great! I've been printing for twenty years down here in Florida. I only wish I'd have thought of doing a video like this first ;)

    Do you guys have a myspace?

    Burke-

  • Burke, thanks for your comment. We're on facebook.

  • Oh, ok. My shop is on Myspace....but not much happening there...maybe we should switch to facebook?

  • Hilarious video. I never thought I'd get laid off from my hometown's newspaper, but it happened and more layoffs are yet to come. Damn Corporations!! The newspaper industry is going through a rough patch and it's only going to get worse. Thanks a lot WALL STREET.

  • we just got a digital 4/c variable data press, its supposed to make everything "FASTER QUICKER BETTER, and WILL MAKE DEADLINES a thing of the PAST" ...YEAH RIGHT! They just dump more and more on me but you know what I LOVVVEE TO PRINTTTTT!!!!!!

  • CSR! OMG you guys are the worst! JUST KIDDING!

  • No printer should continue their career without seeing this video! Great job! You speak for all printers everywhere! Good laughs from us here at Mercury Print & Mail in Rhode Island. Got to go do my daily printing exercises, later! lmao!

  • Fucking hilarious! Good laughs from us here at Vogue Printers in Waukegan Illinois. Way to go! I've got to go spread some ink on my toast now for breakfast. Oh by the way, I did tie a sheet of paper around myself like a cape once during a double shift late night on the ole guillotine cutter! LOL

  • Hey! Great Video!

    I am in printing, been in it for over 20 years now, first as a graphic designer and now as a CSR..

    I was born in a print shop and I miss the smell of fresh cut paper and oil based ink and the

    sweet sound of a print press..

  • Bravo... I'm a printer too. God knows you speak the truth. You should be printer of the year. Canadian printing magazines should have a look at this. Again, Bravo !

I guess your right it is an art and it is in your blood.Every afternoon I wake up and don't feel like going to work I will watch this video and haul ass with a smile on my face. Thanks alot

  • Like hey, I've been printing for 30 years & people do think you're weird (it's probably be cause of the differnt colors on my fingernails). Besides my heart going out the door with the jobs, it's cool to know millions of people are seeing my work... Cool Vid ;-D

  • "I FUCKING LOVE PRINGTING!"

  • Hilarious vid. We actually saw this in class, since print shops were the theme.

  • Genius! I love the smell of ink!

  • im an inker. i formulate ink, went to school for printing. this is best vid ever!!! i never know what to say when people ask what i do or what i even to school for, now i can show them this.

    ~printers are the best, because they can do it without scumming the sheets!!

  • Printing Sucks!!!!!!!

  • Wow, this video nails it! I teach a Graphic Arts college program and printing is a tough trade to promote... people don't get printing.

    In my opinion printing is the most taken for granted industry. Super video for the print trade.

  • Hah hah hah, I work at a printing company, good job on this video. I love the waving to the printing at the end!

  • Thanks!  Feel the Power!

  • HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Well done.

  • sending you guys my love of printing too from adelaide australia i love printing so much i have never let anyone give me a hickey

  • Great comment

  • Loved this video. Funny how many parts of this rant hit home! Our family has been printing maps since 1921 (Williams & Heintz) We've had 4 generations of printers in the family. Many of our other employees are 2nd generation printers. I'm not sure that they're quite as enthusiastic as this guy here, though...

  • From a print shop in New Mexico, saw the writeup about this video in Printing Impressions (March '08). LOVE IT! We love the smell of ink, too! !@#$YEAH!

    Keep up the great work.

  • Yeah!! :) Now we need the sequel for the even better stuff :) when you gonna make Bindery Nation?

  • Stay tuned in the future

  • Hi, Well done from the UK its fantastic! As passionate as you (well almost!)

  • FIVE STARS

  • wonderful

    i have camera-ready art on this napkin for my brochure, can i pick it up 10,000 by 5pm?

  • That is too funny. I've been in printing since I was 16 as a stripper and now as a prepress troll. My father was a stripper. My fathers' Uncle was a printer. Let's just say ink runs in my veins. Thanks for making me laugh. Otherwise I might go sane and realize where I'm at.

  • Yeah! We at Swing Labels feel your pain!

    But at Swing Labels we have a secert weapon - we ship everything UPS YESTERDAY! HA!

  • haha finally something funny

  • Yes pretty funny!

    But where were the presses? They are the heart and soul of any printing company, where blood, sweat and tears meet ink and paper. Where the artist meets the ink monkey and beauty is created on the printed sheet.

    I know of what I speak. I am the pressroom guru. I bring peace and love to the pressroom.

    Pazazz, you must find peace. Go within or you will go without!

    Namaste.

  • such a blatant rip-off of steve delahoyde's "boxes" is unforgivable. did you seriously even use the same music?!? and this "actor" is terrible, way too over the top.

  • You are entitled to your opinion however Pazazz has given full credit to Jim Coudal, of Coudal Partners and Filmmaker Steve Delahoyde for "Regrets: Boxes". In fact Jim and Steve support Printing's Alive and appreciate our vision - show our passion for print and make people laugh.

  • Coming from a family of printers (my dad, brother, me), I have ate,drank and sh!t printing my entire life. I have shared this video with a few others I know in the industry.

    The actor is not over the top at all, one of my old formans acted just like him. I especialy love the comment about when going to party's, this is so true.

  • Haha Warren is like a lot of the foremen I've met, except he appears to have all his fingers!

  • Excellent,alternative marketing. Very clever.

  • bravo, sir. bravo.

    (you may want to lay off the fountain solution)

    I love the smell of ink in the morning.

  • Call me when its already too late. The revenue from reprints is very lucrative.

  • Now you know what`s pulsing through our vains, pure 485( with a bit of reducer), its not a job, it`s art, and when you open your magazines and throw all the JUNK in the bin just think how that hurts, sweat blood and tears whent into that job.Oh and the moneys good.

  • inspiring video.

    I am quit my printing job ( well still working part time now ) to go back to art school full time.

    I miss the touch smell and overall feel that comes with working in printing.

    Long live the paper.

  • I will always print with pazazz dot com now. sniff sniff

  • I love this guy! He's hot! And nothing beats the fresh stench of ink on paper. Yummy.

  • amazing!

  • great vid.

    we have some kind of a printing college here in Chile, wich is pretty good

  • LMAOOOOO  AMEN!!!

  • I too... LOVE PRINTING! LOL

  • My dad loves this! This is so true!

  • This was amazingly entertaining. I want that guy to yell at me some more.

  • Man ALive!!!

    really,no printing colleges....c'mon!

  • no colleges for printing ...thats rite. Printing isn't taught at some smug college it is taught threw a trade that runs threw your veins. Sure aspects of printing are taught at colleges by people who nothing about the trade.

  • r u for real dude, I was just kidding man!!!

  • maybe one could learn a thing or two THROUGH education.

    btw. great vid!!

  • Capital 'N' at the beginning of your sentence. Attention to punctuation on 'that's', Correct spelling of: 'right', and 'through'. Include additional word to make sense in: 'People who 'know' nothing about the trade.' You must learn to proof read copy! It is essential to good printing.

  • Everyone has a printer with their computer. Why? For the really, really IMPORTANT stuff! Printing is the way we keep the very best stuff!

  • Awesome, awesome vid!

    Newsprint might be dying, but there will always be printing.

    Rock on and feel the heat on the ink!

  • I love the video. I work in digital printing for the last 10 years. Computers run our printers, all data stream electronic printing. There will always be a need for printing.

  • I hate to say this but NEWSPAPER PRINTING IS DEAD! Evidence? -- Craigslist, Monster Careerbuilder etc. Who buys ads in newspapers anymore? Who reades the filth in the New York Times, when you can watch TMZ for free?

    Good Luck!

  • great work :) about time this message got out! printing is not dead!

  • You are the mutts nuts. Pazazz ink monkeys rock!

  • Having first enjoyed the interesting smell of a blueline at the young age of 13 (yearbook staff), I know what you mean about the DNA. My blood runs 100m 100y 30k too! And I'm sending this to everyone I know from my alma mater WV Tech.

  • Big Deal. I've been printing for over 30 years. There is no glamor in it. Just bullsh*t customers that seem to be getting dumber every day. I've run 40" presses, 28" presses, letter presses, linotypes. Whoopty ding don day.

  • it's time for you to do a new thing. if you hate it that bad you can't be good at it.

  • you're in the wrong business buddy! Every day new technology makes this business more interesting and exciting. Get out of the rut!

  • You looked this up didn't you?

  • being on the prep side commercial print for half my life it's a love hate relationship love the vid press may be the heart but prep is the brains!

  • my husbands a printer, he thought this video was awesome! i think it's pretty funny too! :)

  • Haha, I just saw this at a conference I was at, 'PrintFair 2008'. My boss knows the guy and got a high resolution copy of this for it. I think it's the funniest thing I've ever seen relating to the print industry (not that there is much competition).

  • i'm a graphic designer also for 14 years, worked in a print shop for 11 years. That was hilarious. my daughters middle name is paige. lol

  • hilarious. i'm a graphic designer (4 yrs) and my father is a printer (20 yrs). can't wait to show this to my pops! ... and the comment someone had about naming his daughter paige? awesome! i wonder how many design/printing terms could realistically be used as children's names? the only one i can think off the top of my head is TIFF, short for tiffany. hhaha! LOVE THE VIDEO!

  • PRINTING SUCKS

  • what would they do without the printer.....love the vid and love the hell out of printing!!!!

  • I like this one better than the boxes one. Maybe because I can relate a bit as a graphic designer. Well done. I love it.

  • Bwahahaha, nice!

  • I would love for Steve Delahoyde to contact me about doing a video from the Salesman - Broker - Owner perspective side.

  • I am an ink maker, and love the smell of ink, too- but don't rub it on my toes like Nutella!

    Great video

  • I THINK it's "toast".

  • An honest mistake was made when "Printing's Alive" did not give proper credit to "Regrets: Boxes". We saw the "Regrets" video and thought it was hysterical. Printing's Alive is a respectful take-off of that video.

    At 6:00 pm today we had a call with Jim Coudal, of Coudal Partners and Filmmaker Steve Delahoyde - we fully resolved the misunderstanding. Pazazz has given full credit where it was due. Our only intention with this video was to show our passion for print and to make people laugh.

  • I am an ink maker, and love the smell of ink, too- but don't rub it on my toes like Nutella!

    Great video

  • Do I love printing? I named my f**king kid Paige. That's how much I love printing!

  • I love it!

  • I like the one about boxes.
