N.H. daily streamlining ads with SCS
The (Manchester) New Hampshire Union Leader is live with Software Consulting Services SCS/Track software. The app was rolled out to 25 users including ad builders, creative service staff and sales staff.
Robin Wilson of the Union Leader said SCS/Track will streamline the daily’s ad production process.
“In this economy, we don’t have the manpower anymore to waste time looking for an ad,” she said.
The creative staff is using SCS/Track to create, modify, proof and archive all locally built ads, while the sales team is using it to track ads from order entry through publication, SCS said.

PAGE members opt for SES’ inkjet labeling
The Union in Grass Valley, Calif., West Hawaii Today in Kailua-Kona, and Quality Web Printing in Elkton, Ky., all purchased Specialty Equipment Services’ XiJet inkjet address labeling systems for online addressing. The machines have been integrated into the delivery of Muller 227 inserters for address labeling of both TMC and daily newspapers, SES said.
“The labeling head is sweet,” said Mike Finch of Quality Web Printing. “It’s saving us at least eight to 10 hours a week in labor.”
West Hawaii Today moved from hand inserting a small quarter-fold tabloid TMC and applying labels with Wing mail label applicators to running the product on the inserter and printing the label directly on the product, SES said.
“We’re saving $500 a week on average in inserting and labeling cost,” said John Shackelford, the paper’s circulation manager.
XiJet can be integrated into existing inserters, stitch-trim machines and mail bases.
All three printers are PAGE Cooperative members.
