Major Upgrades at Ashland University Bring Printing Back In-house
One large job the in-plant has brought in-house is the printing of the alumni magazine. In November the shop produced all 50,000 magazines—800,000 impressions—in 12 days. Jones says the in-plant saves the university $3,000 an issue.
“It’s really been amazing to see the speed and the quality of the work. It’s like night and day,” Jones says. “Now we’re turning jobs the next day or even the same day.”
