Storage Shelves of Ink Drums at the Star Tribune Printing Plant
Taken May 2023
These metal drums held ink for the printing presses at the Star Tribune's Heritage Center plant in Minneapolis, which printed the paper along with other regional and national titles. The plant ended its run as a printing facility when the Star Tribune stopped presses there on December 27, 2025, shifting production to a Gannett facility in Des Moines, Iowa.
