The biggest mistake I made as a #CSR/printingpressman at #Hutchison-AllgoodPrintingCompany ...

There was a big job for Krispy Kreme we did every year at easter. The annual report #s would come in after the first quarter. We would be ready for press as soon as they were received. From there it needed printing yesterday. We would maintenance while waiting and pray the machines would not go down at go time. Rush rush. Well, I set start up speed at 13500 impressions per hour. And was making ready color and registration. We had a guy who never needed a torque wrench he was so strong when tightening stuff up. He did not realize he weakened a knurled screw when he put on a cylinder blanket. Well , I was about to start my second 100000 sheet run. I hit the production button and the press sped up to 13500. And wam, bam Blick GA blank bang. I slammed my hand to hit the stop Button. Of course it was too late. The blanket slammed the coater roller. Which involves taking the whole side of coating unit off just to get in to removing the gears and the roller for replacement. Of course the machine would be down for days. And my stupidvisor already had his arms crossed and looking my way. The plant manager came to work that morning at 3am and I almost had it out. His first words are, "that's a 17000$ dollar roller." I Felt Like My Mama Had Just died.
