The printing press is as long as a semi, and can print around 16,000 sheets an hour. To check color, the printer prints a few test sheets that we look at under calibrated light. Temperature, humidity, certain batches of paper, and printing at different times all affect the color that is printed. Close attention and adjustments are made so that the color in book is matches the art work as close as is possible.
