Printing Services at the University of Texas-Pan American adds direct imaging press to bring mostuniversity printing in-house.

Keeping Print Work In-house

Concurrent with the move, a change was made to the university's procurement system that funnels all requests for promotional or printing-related purchases directly to Printing Services for approval.

"We always had first right of refusal, but we didn't have a mechanism to capture purchases, so there was a lot of work going off-campus that we didn't know about," Cantu explains. "Now we are in a position to decide whether something needs to be outsourced or not, which has allowed us to save the university a significant amount of money."
