Gateway Press--Taking Care of Business. . . and People

Gateway Press is banking on the trend toward shorter runs. Brown believes the company has found its niche as a medium-run-length web operation, one that won't compete with the bigger publication printers on lengthy runs.

"With the Autoplate system, I believe the focus that Heidelberg has put on the M-600 is to make it a high-quality, quick-makeready machine and still have quite a bit of speed," says Brown. "It gives you quite an advantage. We also have an eight- and 16-page pinless module, so we can deliver four eight-pagers or two 16-pagers out of a double web of paper."
