Dayton Newspapers Installs First Two-up Heidelberg Long Perfector in North America

Dayton Newspapers initially entered the sheetfed printing business as an extension of its newspaper pre-print inserting operation. At the time, the company’s goal was to print 8.5 x 11” single-sheet inserts in two-up configuration for its advertisers. Based on its business plan, the company determined that a small-format press would be a good fit, given anticipated volumes and space considerations. The SM 52 4-color would join Dayton Newspapers’ existing full-size newspaper web presses, packaging equipment, and various support equipment.
