The "In" Crowd

"I'm not a real advocate of an in-plant going commercial," says Robert Hulett, manager of central printing services at Beckman Coulter, in Fullerton, Calif. Commercial printers, he says, have a different overhead structure that can create an unfair advantage for in-plants.

"If I was a commercial shop and the in-plant down the street did [too high] a percentage of commercial work, I don't know if I would be too happy," he says.
