Star Ends Linotype Era with Offset Press Transition
The Hope Star moves from linotypes and hot metal to offset production this week, ending generations of metal slugs. A rotary offset press began in December, with January 7 marking the end of metal assembly. New cold type machines include two Fairehild Morina photo-setters and two pairs of Friden Just-O-Writers, which print headlines and telegraph news from perforated tapes, delivering crisper text. The change aims to keep the Star at the forefront of publishing progress, with final details and photos promised later.
