Publisher’s Note<br />
Time Changes All...<br />
Forty-four years ago, United Printing began by purchasing<br />
Young’s Print Shop in Mandan and later Devlin’s Print Shop<br />
in Bismarck. At that time, the offset printing process was just<br />
beginning to replace the century-old letterpress printing process,<br />
using lead to produce the printed product.<br />
For many years, things changed bite size. Then as digital work<br />
and offset printing replaced letterpress printing entirely, things<br />
changed gulp size. Change is good, but it does not come without<br />
financial stress. With the new technology came an elevated price<br />
and a higher obsolescence. The training was also more intense and<br />
changed often.<br />
So here we are at United Printing 44 years later, presenting to<br />
our community the best technology available in our industry. The<br />
new Heidelberg Speedmaster 74, with online coating, can produce<br />
in one hour what would have taken several days or was not even<br />
possible in the past. This technology and our newly remodeled<br />
facility are the next generation of printing.<br />
As I plan my exit and Ken Bischof, CEO for the past six<br />
years, continues the journey, we plan to produce good services<br />
in our community for another generation. The opportunity for<br />
the community to view this in action will take place on Friday,<br />
September 11, and Saturday, September 12, 2009.<br />
Our investment of more than $2 million shows our<br />
commitment, and we will continue to invest as necessary to<br />
maintain the level of technology that produces the product the<br />
community wants at the price it wants.<br />
