"It is a tribute to our technology and all the people involved that these newspapers, from different continents, will be available for downloading and printing at the time the publisher sends their newspaper to the printing presses in their home country. In some instances, a newspaper is available on another continent before it hits the newsstand at home," says Alex Kroogman, CEO, NewspaperDirect. "Now our PrintToScreen technology is combining the traditional look and feel of a newspaper with advanced digital tools, bringing the online newspaper reading experience to an entirely new level. It provides publishers with significant delivery and service benefits for their advertisers and readers."
