ACUP Comes to Minneapolis
Organized by ACUP's planning committee, the conference was co-hosted by Naomi Quiram, director of Print and Mail Services at Gustavus Adolphus College, and long-time ACUP member Doug Fenske, director of Printing & Photocopy Services at Minnesota State University, Mankato. Fenske got to show off his 11-employee operation to attendees on the third day of ACUP. Located 80 miles southwest of Minneapolis, the in-plant features an impressive array of equipment, including a four-color Heidelberg press, a Xerox DocuColor 770, a Canon IPF 8300 wide-format printer, a C.P. Bourg booklet maker with two 10-bin towers, and numerous other pieces of equipment. During the tour, Fenske manned the shop's Heidelberg letterpress as it produced a foil-stamped, die-cut promotional piece.
