By 1970, about two out of three of these magazines were products of offset and McGraw-Hill, the largest publisher of business magazines, had converted all its output (about 40 magazines) to offset. While many mass circulation consumer magazines were still able to use rotogravure and letterpress advantageously because higher initial costs could be countered by other advantages, even for these circulation giants the advantages of faster presses, improved cold type composition, and more durable plates have resulted in the increasing use of offset.\u201d Arthur T Turnbull, A.
