Part of the reason Coppola and his team are able to keep such a firm grip on quality, even in the often uncompromising world of newspaper printing, is because their procedures have proven to be enormously effective. First, JRO receives completed TIF files directly from the newspapers, which show JRO exactly what the papers should look like from cover to cover – from layouts and pagination to colors and all special considerations in between. While each newspaper has control over editorial content, JRO takes responsibility for outputting all plates and proofs, based on those files, determining where problems or issues might have to be addressed, and then printing the final product. Coppola and his team require that the workflow products and consumables used at JRO be as reliable as possible – and that, too, is directly related to the group’s ongoing successes.

 

Receiving Pages

Currently receive page transmissions from multiple separate locations

Pages are sent over T1 lines via a private frame relay network

Most locations have two separate T1 circuits, one Sprint, one Verizon for back up purposes

Originating sites RIP pages on their existing hardware which converts the pages into compressed G4 tiff files which are transmitted as individual pages.

From the editors fingers to a bent plate takes approximately 20 minutes per page
