NASA Finds Down-to-Earth Savings

A Better Alternative

The stack of document proved to be as conspicuous as it was tall. When, several years ago, the new NASA printing management officer toured the Agency looking ways to improve efficiency, the order quickly came: find a better way to produce all those documents.

Dick Tuey didn't need persuading. As Resources Manager at NASA's Washington Headquarters, he already had come to the conclusion that NASA's nine scattered offset printing facilities were no longer a practical way to handle the bulk of the Agency's printing needs. He recognized that the challenge was to find an efficient, high-quality alternative to offset printing.
