You Can't Print It All In-house
Though they may not want to talk about it, outsourcing printing is a big part of many in-plant managers' jobs.
In Florida, the City of Hollywood's in-plant sends out about 15 percent of its work to commercial shops, says Charles Kerr, Copy Center supervisor. Kerr says that while he runs a robust digital shop, sometimes the volume of jobs is just too high to efficiently produce them in-house.
"We have a digital color copier that will run 300,000 a month, but I currently don't have a service contract for that machine," Kerr maintains. "If I have a job of 5,000 or more two-color brochures, I'll send it out just because it is not worth the service impact to my machine."
