Our class recently was given the opportunity to tour the National Print Group/Retail Merchandising Group in downtown Chattanooga. After touring a newspaper press that was all about timeliness, it was interesting to see the NPG/RMG presses that are all about quality control. The equipment they have housed throughout their campus of buildings is stagaring itself but the output is even more impressive.  I was fascinated with their presses, from the massive KBA Rapida 205 offset press that uses 7 inks and can print up to 7,000 units per hour, to the digital press that can print on substrates as thick as your front door. To actually be able to see with my own eyes what we’ve been reading about and discussing in class was really an invaluable learning experience.
