detail,” said Volk, whose novels also frequently include another of his major concerns: the painful and deeply dis- turbing impact of the betrayal of U.S. soldiers who fought in Viet- nam by their own government. As a U.S. Army veteran himself, he’s passionately committed to telling stories about that tragic betrayal whenever he can. Volk also credits for his suc- cess Tom Nugent, a friend “who has been at my side for the last 25 years working as my editor on the projects.” Nugent is a veteran investigative journalist who has re- ported for the New York Times , Washington Post , Chicago Tribune , Mother Jones and many other publications during the past 40 years. He’s also the author of Death at Buffalo Creek , an inves- tigative non-fiction book on the U.S. coal industry, and several books of fiction. More notewor- thy, for more than 20 years he’s been investigating and reporting on the murder of Sister Catherine Cesnik, which was fea- tured on the Netflix documentary “The Keepers.” Tom Nugent Doug Volk

Do you need printed sheets? We have your answer.. Introducing Heartland’s ColorCorr. This is “flexo-printing in the round”. On our corrugator we can print up to 109” wide. The advantage is that we can print the equivalent of ½ roll at a time and not be required to keep several rolls of very expensive preprinted paper on the floor. Much less waste and risk. In continual print mode, we use either laser-engraved rubber rolls or solid rubber rolls to print a “flood coat” or a repeating pattern. If we are printing a repeating pattern, we can run a two-color design on the paper. Customers have found that running sheets we print can allow them to run a lighter-grade due to reduced caliper loss, and in some cases eliminate one or more machine passes.
