Color photos in today's Bee are washed out

Here's one photo to give you an idea what the color photos in today's Sacramento Bee look like. On the left is the picture in the Bee, on the right is part of an IKEA catalogue to show contrast.

Obviously a newspaper is not going to look like a slick magazine, but it can look a whole lot better than this. If you had a pre-Sacto edition of the Modesto Bee and compared it to the crap Sacramento puts out, you will see the difference and what a good quality Flexo press can do compared to an old off set press.

Your absolutely right and what's more, if you had a business that was in the condition that newspapers are in you would look to save money or cut cost wherever you could. In this case, look at the cost for running that flexo press versus the offset press and you would see that its a no brainer which is cheaper to run. Of course if you really don't care about having a successful business and your willing to pay more for consumables as well as more to get it printed then perhaps you would be just as happy with the end result of having to close your business.

Furthermore, comparing a magazine quality picture to any newspaper picture is like comparing a horse to a car. I assume that you have a horse based on the crap you are shoveling here!

Once again it appears that most of the comments on this site derive from "former" McClatchy employees. I find it hard to see anything credible in the voice of someone who's opinion stems from a situation that is happening across the country and in just about every business. I wonder how many Americans that lost their jobs got severance packages based on years of service. Are people so naive that they expect a company to completely shut their doors rather then look for ways to stay open? I feel bad for those that lost their jobs and I wish them the best in finding something. Good people have a way of being discovered and quality employees are always being sought after. If your not getting any calls or don't meet the description of the previous sentence then perhaps it's time to look at yourself and your shortcomings instead of blaming the company for not keeping you and your obvious worthlessness on the payroll.
