From the Editor: The Age of Printers
Prior to the show, I drove up to Milwaukee to visit Briggs & Stratton's large in-plant, proudly shown off to me by Debbie Pavletich and Brian Patterson. The G7 Master Printer-certified in-plant has not only a four-color Ryobi offset press (which it used to print the catalog that won In-Print 2009 Best of Show), but a host of digital presses from a variety of vendors. For example, the shop has a five-color Kodak NexPress S2500, a Ricoh Pro C900, an Océ VarioPrint 6250 with inline square stitch binding, a new Konica Minolta bizhub PRO 2500 and a Xerox DocuTech.
Bob has served as editor of In-plant Impressions since October of 1994. Prior to that he served for three years as managing editor of Printing Impressions, a commercial printing publication. Mr. Neubauer is very active in the U.S. in-plant industry. He attends all the major in-plant conferences and has visited more than 180 in-plant operations around the world. He has given presentations to numerous in-plant groups in the U.S., Canada and Australia, including the Association of College and University Printers and the In-plant Printing and Mailing Association. He also coordinates the annual In-Print contest, co-sponsored by IPMA and In-plant Impressions.
