The Global Commercial Printing Market is projected to be worth $484.22 billion by 2027, a nearly 12% increase from 2021. The printing industry continues to experience growth in other areas, such as advertising. Older legacy double-wide presses are not best suited for short run non-daily half- and quarter-fold print production,” Gilmore stated.ĭespite what many believe about printing, it is not a dying practice. “Small- to medium-sized single-wide press publications have long understood you need to keep the presses rolling at night and throughout the day. These sites are typically equipped with late-model European presses for which the OEMs and third-party auxiliary vendors are keen to provide intelligent upgrades,” Gilmore said. With Metros rolling back deadlines to the afternoon of the day before the publication date, this has allowed adding many more daily publications to regional double-wide print facilities. Often, we sell certain assets to offset the costs of removal.

“However, we keep busy providing a safe and professional removal of large double-wide presses for scrap. What happens to the older double-wide presses if the single-wide press is the printing industry’s future? According to Gilmore, the answer is simple: They’re recycled, sold for parts or scrapped. Hyperlocal, relevant news reporting still attracts readership, which in turn, draws in advertisers,” Gilmore said. “From my view, the future is single-wide presses and newspapers that remain relevant in their hometown communities.
Community Impact opened a new printing facility back in 2016. One of those visionaries is John Garrett, CEO of Community Impact Newspaper Company. These visionaries are attaching their enterprise to single wide presses,” said Gilmore. From our view, local, private and engaged newspaper ownership continues to grow in this digital age. “As imPRESSions enters our 29 th year in business, the change we see throughout our industry is more about how newspapers report the news and their ability to attract readers and advertisers. imPRESSions supplies both new and used newspaper and commercial presses to the broader print industry. As that real estate becomes an overhead anchor on the now-digital publications, dilemmas abound about what to do with the pressroom equipment and what the future holds for print publications.ĭave Gilmore, vice president of sales for imPRESSions Worldwide, offered a unique insight into a print segment of the industry that he says continues to experience growth, despite the transition to online media. As news media outlets have increasingly gone digital, pressrooms have gone quiet. As print became more accessible, so did knowledge.Īlthough printing press technology has evolved, especially in the past 25 years, some say it is moving toward the ever-growing list of obsolete technologies. Before the invention of the printing press, literacy and education were only accessible to the wealthy and elite. The printing press quickly spread across Europe and North America, profoundly changing how people communicate. He also made his own ink, which was designed to adhere to metal instead of wood. Gutenberg used what is known as replica casting, which involved using a metal mold to create letters using lead. The technology did not emerge in Europe until Gutenberg’s metal version appeared in 1440. A related article references Wang Chen, who created a version of woodblock printing similar to the printing press in 1297. But a version of it existed in China about 150 years before.
