The Match! - Technical Information

Technical Information

Woodworth uses "cold type" composing machines from the mid-20th century such as the VariTyper and JustoWriter to typeset copy for The Match!. He then makes pasteups of each page and shoots them with a home-built copy camera to make negatives. The negatives are then used to make offset printing plates using direct solar energy by exposing them to the sun. The plates are then mounted into a small offset printing press and thus used to print the pages of The Match!.

Famous quotes containing the words technical and/or information:

    “When you see something that is technically sweet, you go ahead and do it and you argue about what to do about it only after you have had your technical success. That is the way it was with the atomic bomb.”
    —J. Robert Oppenheimer (1904–1967)

    “I believe it has been said that one copy of The Times contains more useful information than the whole of the historical works of Thucydides.”
