Coastside Publishers & Printers
During my high school years I had a girlfriend whose dad worked as a printer for the San Francisco Chronicle. He smelled a bit like an old newspaper that had been stored in the attic for a few eons, and the tips of his fingers were permanently stained black. That was many years ago, and my assumption has been, that with the advent of the internet and high speed copy machines, the use of conventional ink printing had largely gone the way of the white elephant--extinct.
Not so, it appears. Half Moon Bay still sports an old print shop and from the looks of it, there could very well be some ink printing involved. To tell the truth though, I wasn't about to hang around and try to examine the fingers of the employees as they exited the building. I was afraid my eye might end up blacker than their fingers.
