From the Editor In-plant Insight

Things look bad for in-plants, wouldn't you say? Well not when you consider how many of them have been buying equipment lately. IPG is finding it hard to keep up with all the story leads we've been getting. And I'm talking about some big purchases, like six-color offset presses, and high-speed digital color printers like the NexPress 2100 and Xerox iGen3. These in-plants are clearly expecting a lot more business. Many have already seen growth: More than half of the in-plants on last month's Top 50 list increased their business and their sales in 2002.
