ACUP 2014 An Oasis of Knowledge
After adding a Konica Minolta bizhub PRESS C8000, a bizhub Pro 1200, a PSI LM 3655 envelope printer, a Duplo DC-645 creaser and other equipment, the new in-plant saved the university $100,000 in its first year. Donahue said in the second year, the savings will jump to about $175,000.
Another new in-plant story came from Ken Toy, of Harvard University. Though the Cambridge, Mass., school closed its offset and digital in-plant in 2005, its bulk and campus mail operation continued. In 2009, with customers cutting back on mailings, Toy began looking for other revenue opportunities. An existing wide-format printer and a new IntoPrint envelope printer allowed the operation to do some limited in-house printing. The success of this effort led him to add a Ricoh C651 to meet the growing demand for color printing. Revenue jumped to $145,000.
