Government printers acquire color printer

Their product is in every government office whether it is the forms you fill out or the gazette and other publications, but now the Printing department is no longer limited to black and white productions. The department has acquired a device for color separation and printing. The first newspaper to hire their services is the Belize Times and this week’s issue features a color front and back page and centerfold. The state visit to Mexico is being highlighted in full color. According to Editor Michael Rudon Jr. this week’s issue is a trial run and the Times is exploring the feasibility of printing color pages more often or perhaps even making them a weekly feature of the paper. Government Printer Lawrence Nicholas says they are inviting all newspapers and local printers to contact them for an estimate or consultation about their color printing needs.
