NEW PROCESS, PRESS & PLANT.

This article deals with the plan by Fort Wayne Newspapers Inc. to renovate its press hall in Indiana. The joint operating agency will see construction of a building that will move its printing from one side of the street to the other, and from mid-20th-century letterpress to 21st-century offset lithography -- in a press hall compatible with the neighborhood's 19th-century architecture. The structure will house platemaking, the pressroom and a newsprint storage area. Equipment will consist primarily of a computer-to-plate system and a doublewide, two-around press.
