The crew went on a field trip to Upper Valley Press, Inc. in North Haverhill, N.H., July 13 to see how the paper is printed. Trip Report: How The Gazette Gets Printed hough The Gazette was printed in the basement of our building for Tmore than a century, we have for many years used an outside company to print the paper. Like most newspapers in Vermont, we trust Upper Valley Press (or, as we call them, ‘UVPress’) for the actual putting of ink “I HAVE A FEELING THIS IS GOING TO BE A VERY PRIMITIVE EXPERIMENT!” on paper. In the past few months, we have been working with UVPress to under- stand the possibilities and limitations of current newsprint technology - to learn how we might improve the quality of what we deliver every week. In the course of these conversations, I was surprised to learn that no one at The Gazette - not Dawn Gustafson, our office manager, nor Vanessa Fournier, our photographer, who both have been here for over 30 years – had ever been to visit UVPress.
