• Digital newspaper printer Stroma has added nearly 50 new titles to its production portfolio, increasing its database to an impressive 1,400 newspapers• While a growing number of printers and manufacturers are banking on a digital future for newspapers, it is publishers that are driving the move• Newspaper printer Newsfax announced last October it was moving into the digital printing arena after purchasing a Kodak Versamark inkjet system, a VL6200 model that went live at its Stratford facility in April. The company believes that digitally printed newspapers targeted at niche readerships will be a growth area for Newsfax and the sector as a whole• Digital technology has created new opportunities for printed newspapers and could cut the high cost of distributing short runs of newspapers internationally and for specific events• However, turnaround times and production costs are still a negative aspect of digital newspaper printing and likely to remain so for a few years yet
