White Stone, VA, August 2004—The Fall 2004 Steering Committee meeting of the Research and Engineering Council of NAPL—to be held in Roanoke, Virginia, on September 14 and 15—offers those interested in the printing industry a unique opportunity. In addition to the customary presentations of the latest in printing technology at such meetings, attendees will tour the R. R. Donnelley & Sons Roanoke book manufacturing plant and The Roanoke Times.
Commenting on the meeting, R&E Council of NAPL managing director Ronald L. Mihills said: “The R&E Council seeks not only to expose its members and the general industry to the latest technologies, but to ensure that the executives who guide the Council are familiar with the most modern production facilities in the industry. The forthcoming tour of the R. R. Donnelley & Sons Roanoke manufacturing plant is especially important because the facility is perhaps the most modern book production facility in operation today. The tour of The Roanoke Times will permit attendees to see a recently completed $31.6 million print facility, which includes a new press in a 47,000 square-foot building.” Those interested in attending should contact the Council at 804-436-9922 or via Email at
