Roylance discussed evolving postal regulations, including size and content restrictions, and provided a “to do” list to help others propose and carry out a print-mail merger.
Tuttle added that because his in-plant includes both, some customers don’t bother to bid out print jobs that will be mailed from the in-plant; it’s easier to have the in-plant print them too.

Getting What You Want

To get what you want, he stressed, you must find a way to show how it will benefit the university—not just your in-plant. The first step is getting your staff excited about it, he said. This is not always a sure thing, as he was surprised to find out when he proposed adding a digital color printer. To get staff on board, he enlisted the support of a trusted supervisor, who had credibility due to her long tenure at the in-plant.
