The blaze started in a just-completed warehouse for storing printed work waiting to be bound.
A company spokeswoman told PrintWeek that the cause of the fire was still under investigation, but police said that it appeared to start after a partial collapse in the structure of the warehouse.
The fire was still burning after two days and two dozen fire departments were called in.
"We are back to full-capacity printing in the undamaged part of the plant and reprinting the pages that were lost in the fire," said the spokeswoman.
"It was amazing that people were able to get out of the building and that there was no other loss of life," said a fire department spokesman.
