Mennonite press, Newton, Ks




Hi everyone! Today I'm talking about Mennonite press located near the Newton Kansas
Airport.
We went a couple weeks ago to print a report there for Dad and Mom's business, and we got a tour 
of the press. It was so cool! First we saw them color printing a magazine using
big metal plates. The plates had the color printed onto the metal and transferred it to the paper.
 It was really cool!

Then we saw them gluing the covers of books to the pages, that were actually
4 huge pieces of paper folded up, you couldn't read the book yet because it was
still connected. Then, we saw them
cut the extra paper off and then we could read it. And then we saw them stapling
pamphlets together. They also had a meeting room / library with lots of the books
they had printed. It was lots of fun to look around and I hope to do it again sometime.
