The new state-of-the-art operation was due to be unveiled by KP Services (Jersey) Limited – a collaboration between Kodak and Guiton Group Limited – at Rue des Prés on Friday.
The new facility is home to two Kodak Prosper 6000P press machines and four Hunkeler Combi-Solution newspaper finishing lines, which can produce both broadsheet and tabloid newspapers.
The JEP is now printed in full colour for the first time in its 125-year history.
Manufactured by Kodak, the Prosper 6000P machines will each day print over 35,000 newspapers, which include the national titles to be distributed in Jersey and Guernsey.
The unveiling ceremony on Friday was due to be attended by Philip Cullimore, Kodak’s president of Enterprise Inkjet Systems Division, John Averty, chairman of Guiton Group Limited, Jack Knadjian, managing director of KP Services (Jersey) Limited and Economic Development Minister Lyndon Farnham.
