An In-plant In Limbo
At the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston, Bruce MacDonald is leaving his in-plant’s future up to the powers that be.
“When I graduated, they offered me a job,” he says.
When MacDonald came to the RCAB, he was surprised to discover there was no print shop.
“There wasn’t even a copy center,” he says. “We had an old multilith press and used paper stencils the secretaries had typed, which I’d then run off the press.”
By 1986, MacDonald had helped set up an in-plant, consisting of a single-color, 11x17? Ryobi press, a vertical metal platemaker and a 20? Challenge paper cutter and folder. The operation continued to thrive under the direction of Bernard Cardinal Law, a strong advocate of the in-plant, which at the time required a staff of six.
