So I asked for a tour of the actual printing presses used by Zero Hora It really amazed me how few people were required to handle the 200,000 daily copies that go out, plus the 5 other newspapers that get printed for other regional areas. Maybe 20 people. And this is an old shop, from what I have been told. Smelled an awful like a machine shop, which when you think about it, is what this place is. A lot of machines, an awful lot of air compressed equipment.

What the equipment looks like, each box is a printing press for 1 colour!
