We have a new toy in the shop

This has been an exciting week here at McNeil Printing.  We started the week off with a delivery we have been waiting months for. Our new Offset Press finally arrived on Tuesday! The excitement felt a lot like the anticipation of Christmas morning with weeks of planning and preparation to get ready for our new press.

The rigging company started unpacking the press.  The press was separated into 3 major pieces.  Each piece carefully packaged in moisture resistant packaging to prevent any rust during travel.

After each piece was unpacked it took a feet of engineering and precision to maneuver the press pieces into the right place.

It was a sight to see and it was hard for anyone to do other work.  Everyone's cell phone cameras were out documenting the day.  Lots of deep breaths as the equipment turned tight corners and was put in place.

It took all day, but at the end of the day, the Press was put together and looks like a beauty (new equipment is definitely beautiful).  The press technicians spent the rest of the week hooking everything up and getting us one step closer to start printing on our new press.  We are so excited!
