Transferring Articles to the iPad App
(Photos by Dan Wybrant)

The final step in producing The Daily involves taking the app-ready pages (in a large protective box) to a commercial shop for creating the master from which pages can be imported into the iPad app. 


A process camera operator prepares to "shoot" the pages to make large photographic negatives.
 


The negatives of the page are then stripped into a suitable mask for plate-making.
 


The plate-making machine uses intense light to etch an image of the pages on a metal plate.
 


The offset printing plate is then scrubbed...
 


...and washed to remove the chemical residue.
 


Finally, the offset plates are mounted on a Goss Community Press for printing...
 


...and the editor (Sylvia Onalfo) looks over the finished product, which will be scanned and uploaded for automatic distribution to the iPad app used by the hundreds of subscribers to The Daily.
