A Wide Variety of Services at ISU
It may be 90 years old, but Iowa State's Printing and Copy Services operation won't allow itself to fall behind the curve. New services are keeping the in-plant fresh.
The Power of Variable Data
The workhorse of the department is its Kodak NexPress 2100, which has led the shop's variable data revolution for the past six years. Weigel's operation produces personalized products for admissions, athletics, the alumni association and other departments around campus.
The admissions department is a frequent customer. During heavy recruiting periods two or three times each year, Weigel says, admissions will send out up to 50,000 personalized postcards at a time, using a dozen different photos matched to a given student's area of study. This is in addition to its regular, monthly VDP print orders of 5,000 to 10,000 pieces. Many more VDP jobs come in from athletics, alumni and other departments.
