Newsprinters prints 216 pages straight for GSPC
Friday 03. October 2008 - New UK tabloid record for printing straight
Newsprinters, the newspaper manufacturing subsidiary of News International, today announces that it has printed a 216 page edition of the Glasgow Solicitors Property Centre Guide (GSPC). This is believed to be the highest tabloid pagination printed straight in the UK.
Newsprinters won the contract to print GSPC in November 2007. It is being printed at NewsprintersÂ’ Eurocentral site on a manroland triple width press, which is the largest printing press in the world, capable of running 288 tabloid pages in full colour straight.
Published weekly, GSPC is a tabloid publication printed full colour throughout. The first issue printed by Newsprinters was the largest ever published by GSPC at 180 pages.
Bill Scouller, chief executive of GSPC, says: “Our primary reason for switching to Newsprinters was its ability to print large pagination titles in one pass, whereas previously we were having to print in three passes. The end result is a significant saving in time and money.
“Since our move to Newsprinters, we have been delighted with the consistently high print quality of GSPC.”
