Newspaper Printers Increase Efficiency, Extend Editorial Deadlines and Reduce Environmental Impact with Kodak Solutions

“We were still running film and needed an upgrade,” Barnes said. “Kodak made the transition to digital an easy process by providing an entire solution at the right time, with the right price.”

The newspaper installed a Kodak Trendsetter News Thermal Platesetter with Kodak PF-N Non Process Plates, Kodak Prinergy Evo Workflow and Kodak PREPS Imposition Software. Covering business and politics primarily, The Memphis Daily News employs 45 people. It has been independently owned by the same family since 1886. The daily edition has a circulation of 3,500 and the weekly edition boasts 20,000 subscribers. Barnes was seeking to relieve some of the pressure on editorial lead times and improve error-checking controls.
