IPG spoke with new Public Printer Robert Tapella recently to learn more about his vision for the Government Printing Office.

By Bob Neubauer

“As we look forward, I would like to see us go majority digital, but there are limitations. What’s going to drive this change is our customers. How many copies each day of the Congressional Record does Congress really want? Every year that number is reducing. We’re getting to the point, very quickly, where I think in the next couple of years you’re going to see where the numbers start to make sense for running digital equipment, either ink-jet or toner-based, for the majority of the printing work we do for Congress. But that’s going to be driven by Congress’ needs.”
