Rovani Randomness

     When we first pulled up to Rovani Graphics Inc., we weren’t sure we had found the right place. I’m glad that we ventured in anyway though, because I really enjoyed our visit to Rovani, even if the realistic heads sitting in the window were a bit freaky at first (can’t wait to see the picture you took Monda). Jim seemed very excited to have us to show around his shop. I felt bad when he would ask “Any questions?” so expectantly because I almost wanted to ask a question just to show him we were interested, but he had done such a great job of explaining everything, that there really wasn’t much left to ask.

     I really liked the dark room, mostly because the door into it was so much fun. Just kidding. Actually, the dark room reminded me of when I took a photography class in high school and loved it, but I was sad to hear they were just going to be throwing away that old machine. I guess I can’t blame them, but it just seems like a shame that it’s going to go to waste. I also found their cutting machine interesting, because it was a giant-sized version of the machine we had when I used to work at Office Depot. I had always been amazed that ours could cut hundreds of sheets at a time, but the fact that the machine at Rovani could cut thousands at a time (and much thicker paper) made the other paper cutter seem silly.

     Over all, I really liked going to Rovani. It was neat to see how printing projects go from start to finish, and I think I got some valuable insight into how to work with printers to ensure a successful printing.
