The color printing workshop is the best workshop of the 709 printing factory, and I was assigned to this workshop, and the color printing workshop is also called the offset printing workshop. In the eighties of the last century, color printing was a relatively advanced social productive force. Compared with the lead printing and gravure printing in the factory, it has unique advantages. At that time, there were a total of 7 single and two-color offset presses produced by "Beiren" in our workshop, but the task was not light. In the 70s, the factory printed the fifth volume of the "Selected Works of Mao Zedong", and later printed the "Six Old Statues", that is, special prints such as portraits of great men.
Don't look at the fact that the factory is in the mountains, some publishing houses in the provincial capital of Jinan or other cities are willing to send their publications to 709 for printing. Like "Shandong Youth", "Story Grand View", "Knowledge and Life", "Urban Tide", "Spiegel Monthly" and so on, especially "Shandong Pictorial" is a high-quality brand product in the factory, and its printing quality has been rated as "National Excellence" and "Ministry Excellence" for many times.
The main production task of the factory is to print student textbooks, two peak seasons a year, one is the printing of spring textbooks, the other is the printing of autumn textbooks, and then there is social odd jobs. In particular, New Year's paintings, calendars and wall calendars were particularly popular in the seventies and eighties, and in the nineties, the wall calendars reached a consumption climax. In addition to a few black and white pictures of these products, the vast majority of them are color prints, printed by a monochrome machine, a New Year's picture is printed out of the effect, four colors of yellow, red, blue and black are needed, and they have to be printed four times, and the two-color machine has to be printed twice, sometimes a variety like "Shangshan Tiger" and "Xiashan Tiger" have a print volume of millions, and they need to be printed over and over again for many days, so that workers are required to work eight hours a day, two shifts of shifts, changed to 12 hours of overtime, 12 hours off, that is, 24 hours without stopping, The canteen staff delivered the food to the workshop, and the workers worked while eating.
Of course, the machine does not stop, but also pay attention to safe production, but also to ensure the quality of printing. For some of the products that are evaluated, a three-level sample is required. That is, the workshop, the factory quality inspection department, etc. signed samples separately.
The printing plant is actually a printing processing enterprise, and the factory pays the most attention to product quality and product cycle. Some monthly, semi-monthly, etc., which are published regularly, must be delivered within a limited period. Students' textbooks must be published before the start of school, otherwise the lack of reference books will affect students' learning. May is one of the busiest months in the factory every year, so the factory has put forward the slogan of "May of the Great Dry Red". The workshop is in full swing, with the sound of the rotation of the machine, the crackling sound of the feeder, the hum of the motor and the air pump, etc., forming a large ensemble, interpreting the glorious chapter of 709.
There are some young new faces in the factory, some are interns of the printing school, and there are also staff of brother units in the province, who come to learn from the experience and learn the use of new equipment. All peers who come to study from other units live in the guest house of our factory. Like us, get a meal ticket and go to the cafeteria to get a meal. Because the factory was moved from Laiyang, there are many Jiaodong people, and there are many Jiaodong people who even cook in the canteen, so the meals made have Jiaodong flavors, such as fried noodle fish, sliced soup, etc.
In the 80s, grain had not yet been liberalized, and the rations of each worker were still supplied by the grain offices under the Grain Bureau, and according to the standard, in addition to 80 percent of fine grains, there were also 20 percent of coarse grains. Therefore, the meal tickets issued by us are also divided into coarse grains and fine grains, the meal tickets marked with the word "fine grains" are used to receive steamed buns, and the meal tickets marked with coarse grains are used to receive dry rice, wotou and corn porridge. The dish ticket has one dime and two dime, and two dimes can make a dish. When the workers' meal tickets run out, they can buy them at the administrative department. The administrative departments in the factory are very complete, such as the factory office, the political and engineering department, the labor department, the security department, the propaganda department, the infrastructure department, the trade union, etc., everything. In order to save water, the factory began to issue water tickets to control it. In response to saving, the factory also put forward a slogan, that is, to save 100 yuan per person. Start by saving a drop of oil, a drop of water, a piece of paper, etc., and ask for benefits from saving.
The wages of workers are increased according to the length of service, and there is an old worker in the factory who is the only eighth-level worker in the factory, and everyone is envious. In addition to wages, workers also receive monthly bonuses, which are distributed on the basis of overproduction. Before the monthly salary, the factory goes out of the car to the bank to withdraw money, and when the salary is paid, the cashier and accountant of the workshop carry a large bag to the workshop to distribute, each person has a salary bag, and each person signs the salary of the month to receive, and then returns the salary bag to the two. The salary bag records the details of each month, such as: basic salary, floating salary, washing expenses, book and newspaper expenses, mountain entrance fees and several other items. The mountain entrance fee is our special treatment, because our factory is in the mountain, so we have this subsidy. Not only that, there is also a self-run issuance department, which is also the care of our unit by the superiors, because of the inconvenient transportation, as a third-tier factory, some preferential policies are naturally inclined to our unit.
At that time, working in the 709 printing plant, the workers were proud and proud. People outside the unit are very envious. A worker in the Ezhuang Coal Mine wanted to take a closer look at our "709" shuttle bus as soon as he saw it, and he looked far away. He said: "At that time, I was looking for a partner from the "709" printing house. ”
Now, when I think back to those days when I worked at "709", my blood is still boiling.
