Making Villanova Proud
"By combining all these operations together, we had one CSR take in the job for design, print and mail," he notes.
In 2004 he made another big decision when he added the in-plant's first wide-format printer, a Canon imagePROGRAF iPF8300, along with a 42˝ Seal laminator.
"That, basically, within one year, paid for itself," he says. To enable that, he aligned the in-plant with professors who were assigning students to print posters. Instead of taking them to local quick printers, students began submitting those posters to the in-plant, using its Web portal. The influx in poster business has been substantial, he says. The shop recently upgraded to an HP latex printer.
