go to press
Start the presses
Go to press describes the moment when a publication moves from editing to printing, the point of no return when changes can no longer be made.
Newspapers, magazines, and books all go to press, and the phrase often appears in discussions of deadlines or last-minute updates: We need to verify this before we go to press.
Something that happens as we go to press or at press time occurs just before the final version is locked in.
