Used to print the New York Times at a newspaper plant I worked at 10+ years ago now. Fun and a bit nostalgic to look at those photos and note the similarities and differences to the machines I worked on. It was/is more of an art than people realize, and in many ways set me up well for working in web development (color, attention to detail, working under time pressure, handling multiple crisis at a time as a few instances of things that translate). Due to the time spent as a newspaper printer, I follow the industry a bit and it is really sad to see how they have mismanaged the transition online so badly. But also how the printing process hasn't really changed that much even since I left - they're just riding the wave to the bottom in many cases, unfortunately.
