We're sticklers for it. What you see here are "color bars" peeking out at the fold of signatures ready for binding. These bars represent a complex formula of color values specific to our process. Our press technology reads these and monitors the resulting color, but so do we. Our pressmen ensure we're spot-on by manually checking the "density" in these bars, with a tool called a spectrophotometer, and adjusting when they need to.
Our press operators are true craftspeople - and as with any craft, they didn't develop their skills and instincts overnight. Many measure their time at Lane in decades. And while our presses are enhanced with technology and driven by data, their expertise continues to matter. These ink-stained hands belong to Head Pressman Joe Charboneau, 39 years with Lane.

Services
Think about the best relationships you have in your life. A lifelong friend or a dear family member. Now consider how that relationship makes you feel - the true test of any great relationship. At Lane Press, we've sustained our business for well over a century because we choose to focus on two intertwined beliefs: Forging meaningful and long-lasting relationships with our customers.
Sure, what we do is print magazines. And we do it exceptionally well. All the equipment we buy and the processes we craft are dedicated to that singular purpose. But what we really do is help you keep a laser-like focus on what you do. We combine our deep understanding of your business goals with our expertise in all-things-magazine to bring you reliable, robust, and easy solutions that help you flourish.
It means we are experts. It means we understand the nuances of how magazines work and the experience they can create for a reader. It means we grasp the potential for magazines to create value for advertisers and how to realize that potential. We know that no two magazines - no two customers for that matter - are the same.
Chalk it up to a diligent work ethic or an enduring culture, but our people tweak and check and push and innovate until it's right - whether it's your magazine on press or the working relationship they're building with you. Our people realize their names are on each and every magazine we print. Not in the masthead.
In this section of our site, you'll find information about what we do at Lane and how we do it. You'll also find news and insight about the larger industry we're all in: distributing content to target audiences, building those audiences, driving revenue, managing costs. From our sales reps to our shipping managers, we have insight about how to make your jobs easier and your publishing efforts more successful.
