Washburn Shop Problems With New Equipment
Our Daily Sliced Thin by The Editor Alex. Our Daily Sliced Thin notes printing issues at The Star due to uneven fonts from two new Compugraphics units. The 84-point font is too small and gray, while one machine lacks the bold S-point option ordered four months ago. An ongoing dispute with the vendor in Atlanta delays resolution, forcing mixed type on pages until delivery.
