Bob Zekas working on Food Ads

Deaf printer, Bob Zekas uses Raycomp to design newspaper ads for groceries.

As printing technologies transitioned, Raycomp was an early instance of computing used in the printing process. At The Washington Post, the transition began in the 1990s and multiple printing forms occurred simultaneously. Some Deaf printers worked on Raycomp, while others worked in Paste-up, on linotype machines or linotype monitors, proofing, TTS, Make-up, Ad Control, and the dark room.
