Our Story
Newspaper Publishing Is a Specialist Business. So Is Supporting It.
We exist to give independent publishers a production pathway built entirely around their needs.
Independent Newspaper Solutions was built around a simple observation: newspaper publishers have unique production and distribution requirements. Coldset newsprint, tight publication deadlines, colour profiles calibrated for ink absorption, distribution to hundreds of drop points — these aren't standard commercial print requirements. They are a specialised discipline.
We work exclusively with newspaper publishers across Australia. We manage every part of the production cycle — from file to finished newspaper to your readers' hands. Production scheduling built around street dates. A print network calibrated for newsprint. Distribution covering metro, regional and remote locations. When something needs attention, you reach someone who knows your publication — not a support queue.
What We Stand For
Our Mission Is Your Success.
We are a privately held, family-operated business. From the most senior person to the newest team member, we come to work with one goal: to do the right thing for every publisher we work with.
Integrity
Honesty, trust and respect — in every interaction, with every client, every time.
Belief in print
We believe in print as a primary communication platform. It's why we built this business — and why we're still here.
Client success
Our job isn't just to manage print. It's to help publishers run better, more sustainable publications.
Superior service
Clients shouldn't have to chase us, wonder what's happening or settle for less than promised. We hold ourselves to that standard on every edition.
Continuous improvement
Products, services and processes are constantly reviewed. Better is always available if you look for it.
Delivering on our promises
We say what we'll do. We do what we say. Every edition, without exception.
How We Work
Not a Vendor. A Production Partner.
We operate as an extension of your production team.
We only work with newspaper publishers.
Every process and every person on your account is focused on newspaper production requirements. We didn't adapt a commercial workflow to newspapers. We built our entire operation around them.
We manage your prepress — not just your files.
Every file colour calibrated for newsprint, preflighted for accuracy, returned as a digital proof within minutes. You approve it. Then — and only then — it goes to press.
We plan around your deadlines — not a production schedule.
Your street date is fixed. Everything works backwards from there — including holiday editions, special issues and volume surges.
End-to-end means end-to-end.
From press run to newsstands, retail outlets, subscriber mail and bulk drop points — distribution is included, tracked and reported.
