Printing was contracted out in 1990

IN 1990, the press at the Bucks Free Press was decommissioned due to old age and advancing technology, the printing process was then contracted out.

These days the production of the newspaper is fully electronic. Advertising is all set on screen by the production department, while the stories are supplied complete from editorial.

The page output department then merges the two together and sends completed pages via an ISDN line to our printers in Worcester. The plate creation and printing process remains the same as described above.
