Methods and apparatuses for producing a newspaper comprising aligning preprinted images to the operations of a press and modifying the cutoff length of the preprinted images

A method of creating a newspaper comprising:

• providing a first web press with print cylinders operating at a print cylinder surface velocity;
• and
• providing a roll of high quality substrate;
• and
• creating a high quality web by threading said roll of high quality substrate through the web press;
• and
• printing images on the high quality web with said print cylinders;
• and
• said images have a first cutoff length;
• and
• providing a set of rollers subsequent to said print units;
• and
• operating said rollers at a roller surface velocity which is greater than said print cylinder surface velocity;
• and
• running said high quality web of preprinted images through said rollers;
• and
• stretching said high quality web with said rollers creating a high quality web of stretched preprinted images;
• and
• said high quality web of stretched preprinted images comprising an equivalent cutoff which is greater than said first cutoff length;
• and
• rerolling said high quality web of stretched preprinted images;
• and
• creating a second high quality web of preprinted images by threading said high quality web of stretched preprinted images into a second web press;
• and
• operating said second web press to create a newspaper.
