1998 Hall of Fame--Father of Web Offset

In 1954, Krueger purchased its first four-color press with a long oven. Prior to having long dryers, web presses were used for one- and two-color newsprint jobs.

"We gave web offset a chance by providing the process with top-quality separations, film work, expensive ink and coated paper," Quadracci recalls. "Thus, web offset quality could compete with other printing processes."
