[TheHaggz]

I worked for Vertis in Tampa. They were a good company to work for back then. I ran a Harris N954 and a Harris 956 with a C700 folder.

Nice video.

@slym3830 yes, it was a pain in the ass leading the ribbons. We had a skinny guy that always crawled inside the ribbon cage to hand us the ribbons.

was that best buy friend i miss printing i worked for american color till vertis came in and closed our plant

[funkytownbaron]

Yes, it is best buy. When I worked for Vertis and found out about the merger and bankruptcy filing I knew that nothing good would come from it. Perks and rewards for a job well done soon went away and layoffs came by the end of the year(2008). I have to say though, I don't miss printing it because I had to drive to Dallas, worst city I've ever worked in traffic and crime wise. I do miss printing, but I don't see myself ever going back to that plant.
