“They couldn’t believe the price difference,” recalls Sebes, senior printing coordinator for the eight-employee in-plant. It was $1,400 cheaper to print the job on his in-plant’s offset press. This incident only underscored the fact that Sebes had made the right call a few years ago when he redirected the in-plant away from quick copy investments and more firmly into offset. As a result, the Cleveland-based in-plant has been able to make some impressive growth in the past six years, adding both equipment and staff, while enhancing the quality of the public documents printed for Ohio’s most populous county.
