'Good, Basic Printing'

Though the publishing industry is infused with digital technologies, the in-plants that serve publishers often run more modest operations.

In remote Madawaska, Maine, digital printing technology is about as common as a winter sunbather.

"We haven't seen much up here, because we're in a very rural area," says Maurice Morin, in-plant printing manager of the St. John Valley Times. Morin, who oversees five full-time and three part-time employees in this town on the Canadian border, takes this all in stride, however.
