Ripon Printers: A Midwestern Delight

The acquisition is easily the boldest endeavor in the history of Ripon Printers, which has grown through measured, well-calculated investments in technology while adding capabilities along the way. The company added its first coldset web press in the mid-1960s—Lyke retains many of the original 1960s newsprint accounts cultivated by his late father, Doug—and has migrated toward more heatset work, which now accounts for a larger percentage of its work.
