The Daily Sentinel announced to employees this week that the company will soon outsource printing of the newspaper to Montrose.
The change is driven by Sentinelâs massive and aging Goss Headliner press, installed 40 years ago. Over the past several years, maintenance and repair on the press has become increasingly more difficult, with mechanical parts hard to find and qualified pressmen approaching retirement.
The Sentinel will now print five days a week at the Montrose Daily Press facility with copies delivered to the Sentinel building, then distributed to home-delivery subscribers.
In a memo to employees, Sentinel Publisher Jay Seaton said it was a difficult but necessary decision.

A local family is pushing the National Park Service for accountability, after a ranger fatally shot their son during a March traffic stop.
Montrose native Charles âGageâ Lorentz was 25. He was headed home from Texas on March 21, and was to stop at Carlsbad Caverns National Park to meet a friend. There, he was pulled over by a park ranger. Video footage obtained by KOBTV in New Mexico shows part of the encounter between Lorentz and the ranger, identified as Robert Mitchell. The encounter ends with Lorentz being shot twice, once in the chest.
The family of a Montrose man who was fatally shot by a park ranger at Carlsbad Caverns National Park earlier this year is suing the ranger and the U.S. Department of the Interior (National Park Service) for wrongful death.
The March 21 shooting of Charles âGageâ Lorentz, 25, during a traffic stop in the New Mexico park as he was on his way home amounted to a violation of his civil rights, Lorentzâs parents Kimberly Beck and Travis Lorentz say in a federal suit filed Dec. 10. The two in July raised concerns that their sonâs death was being covered up, but said they were not going to let that happen.
