Thanks for the link to this. Fascinating documentary. Lost art & craft of printmaking. When writing LaTeX I often thought about how it translates to traditional typesetting using linotypes. The terminology in digital typesetting has its roots from that craft.
Side Note: I could have started my working life in newsprint as when I were a lad, just out of school in the late 70's and being mad keen on radio and electronics, I applied for a job (didn't get it) as a teleprinter technician at the local newspaper (Doncaster Free Press). These were the electro-mechanical teletypes running 24/7 to capture news "on the wires". I thought I'd be in with a shot as I had my own Creed 7B clacking away in my bedroom - when allowed by my long suffering, but enabling parents!
