A New Source Of Business

Still, the concept of in-plants behaving like commercial printers bothers some in-plant managers, particularly at universities. At Muskegon Community College, in Muskegon, Mich., Graphics Manager Pete Hoekema insources a small amount of non-profit work, but refuses to go any farther.

"I think there's a place for commercial printers and a place for in-plant printers, and I hate to see either one invading the other's territory," he declares. "I don't believe that a true in-plant shop should do commercial work."
