While not a publisher itself, Greater Dallas Press does print newspapers for other companies located throughout Texas, up into Oklahoma and as far away as Georgia. The papers it produces run the gamut from dailies to monthlies, and the shop also prints magazine-style publications, or pony tabs, that may use a gloss stock throughout or just for the cover form, reports Jim Jarvis, vice president. Sheetfed presses are used for the latter work.
