Ever since the U.S. Playing Card Co. was purchased by Jarden Corporation, things have been busy for the popular pasteboard brand. In July, the company announced the opening of a new plant in nearby Kentucky.
The latest news is that Goss International is developing a new web press printer for USPC’s playing cards. This report details how the company is upgrading its Sunday 2000 press.
Goss has a great reputation in the printing industry. Chances are the major daily newspaper in your area gets spit out from one of these behemoths. However, a new Rider Back box design has been popping up at Walmart stores, and members of magic forums have noticed that the new Riders feel different. What will a new printer mean for the beloved Bicycle brand?

I am a little worried about this issue. Bicycle is the deck I use to perform and practice with, and if the quality decreases even a little bit, I will no longer use them for my performances. To me, they hardly fit my standards in stock quality, but they work. I always try to have a deck of masters on me when performing. If this new printer makes the quality in the cards go down, then I must say bye bye to regular bikes.
On the same note, I think before changing the quality and stock they should of took magicians into consideration.
On the other side, if the quality gets better and thicker, hooray for the new printer.
