10 Our experience so far

11 Who is Newsweb TKS first JETLEADER customer worldwide Located in Chicago Press runs range from 1,000 copies to 150,000 copies. This includes their offset side.

12 Their Focus Ethnic Publishers Alternative Publishers School Newspapers Community Newspapers

13 Why did Newsweb chose the JETLEADER Before the purchase they had been looking at ink jet technology for 8 years With TKS they saw a ink jet vendor with knowledge of the newspaper and commercial printing industry The “finishing” equipment for multiple section (up to 5) broadsheet products Open source on ink and paper

14 Current status First JETLEADER started up October of last year – Now running weekly newspapers and several dailies on the JETLEADER Second JETLEADER purchased and will be running first quarter of next year at new production center. Second press will have a new variable cutoff folder and the first press will also be upgraded with the new variable cutoff folder Both presses will have the upgraded variable data printing package.

20 Current Product Mix Mostly Tabloid because that is the bulk of what they normally run. A few ¼ tabloid products Will go after more broadsheet work with the new variable cutoff folder that gives more page widths. Now fixed at 12”

21 Number of jobs Currently 24 different products comprised of: – (2) Dailies – Weeklies – Monthly – Special one time runs In the near future new customers utilizing the variable data printing – Example, change the masthead for city being served to attract local advertisers

22 Manning (2) people – (1) Pre press person for inputting/ripping the job – (1) Jogger After the job starts the pre press person can go on to other work.

23 Paper being used Started off being mostly ink jet Now 100% offset, same sheet as their single wide press 30#, 35#, 50# and 60#

24 Ink being used TKS has open source for ink supplier Newsweb has been using one supplier Additional supplier(s) soon to be qualified by TKS Choice of ink and changing ink suppliers not to be taken lightly in Newsweb’s opinion.

25 File management Being a commercial printer means having to deal with many other customers and their files. There was a learning curve on how to manipulate job files On offset easier to compensate on the press for needed changes.

26 New Production Center (2014)

27 Scalability What is the sweet spot for ink jet versus offset? How do the two processes compare at various page sizes and print runs? What is the proportional cost split between the two printing processes?

28 Assumptions Broadsheet (21.5” cutoff x 12” page width) 48.8 gsm “offset” paper substrate for both Color on every page Single width offset press Offset ink versus ink jet ink No press payments on either

29 No machine cost included

33 All things considered equal? How many people to run the same job? Can be done in one pass on JETLEADER – Multiple sections, up to 5, not have to insert offline – Up to 48 pages in a section with JETLEADER Waste factor on offset Setup times on offset
