A New Lease on Life
To increase efficiency and cut costs, Brown University carried out a full-scale reorganization of its Graphic Services department. After adding equipment, and cross-training staff, the Rhode Island in-plant is busier than ever.
"This updated bindery capability allows us to deliver higher quality finished work faster," says Rutledge. "Our previous bookletmaker did not have a face trim. As one example, we do hundreds of booklets for a Brown program called Choices, ranging from 32 pages plus cover to 80 pages plus cover. We had to run the books and then take them to the cutter for the face trim. Now we simply program the Duplo for the book. If it is a larger book, we can use the hand marry station for the cover. Books are done in one pass, and what used to take days to complete now takes hours."
