Summary
| Description | Newspapers used to shoot page negatives on process cameras (this one has its backlight on for the photo). The full-size litho negatives were then contacted printed on the plates in a plate burner - typically with an cold arc light. This darkroom is at the Arcata Union, in northwestern California. The Union's plate burner used carbon arc sticks and made sizzling sound, produced violet light and smelled bad when in operation. Can't remember the pictured prepress tech's name; I was primarily a photographer and filled in for him when he took vacation; we worked different shifts. The process camera is a Robertson, just like the one I used at the Sun Reporter in San Francisco. Image was shot with a Nikon F3HP on Ektachrome 400, pushed one stop, if I recall correctly. The Arcata Union published from 1886 to 1995. I worked for them from 1983 to 1985. |
