An Eye for Adaptation
In addition to the cost savings, Sicklesteel says bringing shredding in-house has kept the shredding vendors' vehicles from driving on campus and blocking pedestrian passageways.
Testing New Technology
While adding shredding was a value-add outside the realm of printing, Sicklesteel says new digital technology will soon be on its way to the pressroom. So far, Printing Services has tested out the Xerox Versant 2100 press and had also planned to take a look at the Ricoh Pro C7100x and equipment from Konica Minolta. Currently, the in-plant has two Xerox DocuColor 252 printers, and Sicklesteel says the new digital equipment will replace either one or both of them.
