   The machines, which represent JP's first use of the six-wide format, join doublewide and singlewide presses from Goss International Corp. and Koenig & Bauer AG already in operation at the publisher's other sites.
   
   David Crow, divisional managing director for Johnston Printing, oversees the strategic and daily printing operations for the group.Here, he sits down to talk to Newspapers & Technology Publisher Mary L., Van Meter to update the progress of JP's first triplewide press installation and to discuss the printer's operational philosophy.
   
   On how the new press project in Dinnington got started:
   
   Crow: JP needed a new press at Dinnington for all the reasons most people need new presses - to add more color and to establish later deadlines.
   ...
   Crow: It has been a steep learning curve, especially with the handling and operations of the triplewide blankets.
   ...
   Crow: We could have used more experience on metal back blankets.
   
   On the ability of postpress to keep up with the high-speed triplewide presses:
   
   Crow: We don't stop the presses for the mailroom and we have 24 tabloid newspapers per second coming out of each folder at full press speeds.
   
   The production of 120-page papers at 86,000 copies per hour from each folder has pushed the envelope of the forwarding station, gripper line and stackers.So far, both Muller Martini and Ferag are meeting the challenge with their latest mailroom equipment at Dinnington and Portsmouth.
   ...
   Crow: JP employs a very flat management structure, empowering local management to take responsibility for quality on their own particular mix of machinery and publisher requirements.
   ...
   Crow: Automation is constantly being applied all along the production process.
   ...
   Crow: Existing JP plants are virtually all full-color with full inserting facilities.
   ...
   Crow: The introduction of new technology has allowed us to close smaller, less efficient sites and in general to employ fewer staff to produce greater quantity, specifically in Dinnington.
   
   On ensuring your Portsmouth press project stays on schedule and on budget and the challenges JP faces with this project:
   
   Crow: Portsmouth is on target for production and start-up (in June 2007).
