Description: Photograph shows two men operating what appers to be a rotary printing press. The machines are roughly ten feet tall and use several cylanders to continually feed, press, and print the paper. One man is standing with his hands on his hips as he watches paper on the roller unwind. The other man stands behind him with one hand on a lever on the printing press. A rotary printing press is a printing press in which the images to be printed are curved around a cylinder. Printing can be done on large number of substrates, including paper, cardboard, and plastic. Substrates can be sheet feed or unwound on a continuous roll through the press to be printed and further modified if required (e.g. die cut, overprint varnished, embossed). Printing presses that use continuous rolls are sometimes referred to as "web presses." Rotary drum printing was invented by Richard March Hoe in 1843, perfected in 1846, and patented in 1847. (Note – Some sources describe Parisian 'Hippolyte Auguste Marinoni', (1823, 7 January 1904) as the inventor of the Rotary printing press. View on Ohio Memory.
