Tribune notches color register savings

Tribune Publishing Co. in Columbia, Mo., said it was able to cut its consumption of newsprint by 30 percent since employing a color register system from Imaging Technologies Inc.
TPC last fall installed a 24-camera system across its Goss International Universal 45 press (see News and Tech, October 2008).
“The waste reduction is a direct result of having to pay less attention to register by virtue of the automated register system,” said Jack Waters, TPC’s general manager.
“The overall savings and improvements to the environmental footprint of our operations including the paper, inks, energy savings (machine run time) are significant. Crew time optimization is made possible as well.”
