The Introduction of the

The Introduction of the MacIntosh in 1984 and the Apple LaserWriter in 1985, were both a game changer for small publishers like The BLUES. on letters for the headlines. Proofing: Once the paste-up was complete, the newspaper’s editors would review the layout and make any necessary changes or corrections. This might involve adjusting the placement of text or images, reworking headlines or captions, or making other changes to improve the overall design and readability of the paper. In other words, more yelling from the front office. Printing: After the proofing process was complete, the paste-up pages would be sent to the printing press at the Conroe Courier. The production staff would use a large process camera to create negatives, which would be used to create printing plates, that would be used to print the newspaper. This was typically done using large, specialized printing presses that could print thousands of copies of the newspaper at a time. Overall, designing and laying out a newspaper in the 1980s was a complex and time-consuming process that required a high level of skill and attention to detail. It was a critical part of the newspaper production process, as it played a key role in determining the overall look and feel of the paper and in ensuring that the content was presented in an engaging and visually appealing way. All of this changed in late 1985 when Apple introduced the Macintosh computer. This single computer revolutionized the newspaper and print industry. Now you could type the articles in a program called “MacWrite” edit the stories, and then print the articles in 2” columns and paste them like before. Then in 1986, a new program called Page- Maker was created and OMG the planets aligned, and you could ‘design’ the entire tabloid using this program and print one single page. Then all you did was paste this 11 x 17 page onto the layout sheets. Imagine doing all this on a 9” screen. Now unless you have a passion for the way things used to be done, none of this may interest you at all. But way before there was an internet and or digital anything, this was the process one used to create printed publications. For years, we assembled these layout sheets and carried them to the printer every month. It was just the way it was done. 90 The Blues 40th Anniversary Issue
