KNIGHTSTOWN, Ind. — In an effort to bring Farm World readers the best possible newspaper, MidCountry Media has acquired and installed two additional QuadStack color press units from Web Press, Inc. of Kent, Wash.
These new units have been added to the single QuadStack press that MidCountry Media already owns. The new color presses will now allow Farm World to publish up to 24 pages of high quality color per section of the paper.
Each QuadStack press can produce up to eight pages of color at a rate of 22,000 pages per hour.
As a result, Farm World no longer needs to print four sections to accommodate the advertisers who wish to use color printing. By switching to a three-section format, Farm World will combine its auction stories and advertising with its farm, family and recipe content in a newer and larger B section each week. The A section of Farm World will continue to have news and advertising, and the C section will continue to feature classified advertising.
The key component of the Quad-Stack is its patented Universal Printing Module. This module is a compact printing unit that prints a single color on both sides of the paper. Four modules are placed on top of each other to create the high-quality color reproduction. |
