DI Press Brings New Opportunities

The Columbus State University print shop operates on a break-even basis, with materials marked up slightly to cover overhead and miscellaneous charges, as well as a modest print charge; the in-plant is basically delivering services to its customers at cost.

“Previously, we were producing about $20,000 in Printing Services annually,” Bramlett says. “Even considering that our work is produced on a non-profit basis compared to the for-profit outfits we outsource to, I could see that we were not on the right path to be able to survive long term, and we needed to update our technology.”
