Vendor Creativity Helps In-plant Through Tough Time
The in-plant’s reputation was also enhanced by the creative, non-print initiatives it came up with, such as managing an electronic signage service on campus—a system of screens where departments can advertise their events.
When the college eased up its financial restrictions, the in-plant went out to bid once again, but this time with more conservative print expectations. An iGen3 was no longer the best fit. Instead, the shop chose to acquire the C8000 it had been testing, adding a multi punch unit with interchangeable dies and inline folding. It also opted to keep the 6501. Now the in-plant is handling work it previously had to send outside—jobs like alumni mailings and campaign materials for human resources.
