Top-grade printing press arrives in Cork

LORRIES delivering the first components of the new state-of-the-art printing press that will print the Irish Examiner from next year arrived in Ireland yesterday.

The first of 145 lorries carrying the equipment reached the site of the new printing presses at Mahon Point on the outskirts of Cork city, from where Webprints Concept Ltd will print the paper from early 2006.

The press, manufactured by KBA in Germany, will be supplemented by additional machinery and services from suppliers in Britain and Europe, and will allow for colour printing on every page.
