State of Ohio Opens New Downtown Facility
The State of Ohio Printing and Mail Services held a ribbon cutting ceremony last month to officially open its new 9,000-square-foot printing center. The new center is in the heart of downtown Columbus, near the majority of state agency customers.
In addition to moving into this new facility, Ohio’s printing operation recently added two new Heidelberg Printmaster QM-46 presses, a Konica Minolta C6500 color imaging system, a Halm Super Jet Plus XL envelope press and two additional Canon imageRUNNER Pro 7110s.
“We are making great strides in centralizing print production for Ohio’s government,” says Joe Tucker, state printing administrator, “and in doing so [we] will save the taxpayers of Ohio millions of dollars over the coming years by optimizing printing resources throughout state government.”
During the new facility’s grand opening week, tours were provided to several state agency directors to demonstrate how the new center will bring cost saving services to their agencies.
Ohio’s printing operation also includes a large mainframe and fulfillment center, located just outside of downtown Columbus. Tucker plans to modernize the printing equipment in this center over the next 90 days.
