After the negatives are opaqued, they are placed on top of an aluminum plate in the plate burner. The plates are coated with a light sensitive material and must be exposed to high intensity lights. Bruce Nusbaum is shown at the plant's Brown Mercury MP2 plate burner just after an image has been burned into one of the aluminum plates. From the plate burner the plates are taken to the developing sink where Homer Miller is shown developing a plate. Once the plate has been processed, it is ready to be mounted on the press.

Processing aluminum plates is next step

Pressroom foreman Ted Speicher is shown checking the first papers to come off the press. He wants the best reproduction possible. If a page is not coming off the press with a clear impression or if an error is found, he will stop the press and make the correction. If all is in order, the speed of the press will be turned up and the 'paper printed. Checks are made continuously throughout the press run to make sure everything is in order. Ted began working in the pressroom in January of 1971.
