Kodak Thermal plates for Weston County Gazette
Kodak Thermal plates for Weston County Gazette

Our new Kodak Thermal Imaging Platesetter is producing plates for our customer the Weston County Gazette newspaper, for the first time. The technology uses a laser to precisely image the plates, that then go to the press and process as they start to roll on the units. The full image produces in about 15 revolutions, using only water and ink. This helps us print a crisper image with less waste, and no chemicals. Our staff has affectionately named this new piece of equipment “R2D2”, because of the series of beeps, bops and whirs it makes while operating. “May the Force of Newspapers be with You."

Wreaths Across America, wreath laying ceremony to honor veterans took place Saturday at the Black Hills National Cemetery. Spearfish Veterans Honor Guard 21-gun salute and TAPS. Always remember. Never forget.
