Despite downsizing staff through attrition and closing two copy centers in a move towards centralization of production facilities, University of Washington Publications Services did plenty of expanding in other areas. The in-plant installed a Mitsubishi direct-to-plate polyester platemaker for its small presses, with possible expansion to larger presses, and added a Xerox 2045 and a DocuColor 12.

More than 100 digital, multi-function, walk-up copiers were also installed, and the print-for-pay system in the libraries and computing labs was expanded using Pharos software.
