From the Editor: Two Views of In-plants
As this issue of the magazine was wrapping up, I learned that the National Association for Printing Leadership (NAPL) and Printing Industries of America (PIA) are discussing a merger. (Actually, "unification" was the word they used.) The two esteemed associations cited economic conditions, ongoing industry contraction and calls from membership as key motivating factors.
Bob has served as editor of In-plant Impressions since October of 1994. Prior to that he served for three years as managing editor of Printing Impressions, a commercial printing publication. Mr. Neubauer is very active in the U.S. in-plant industry. He attends all the major in-plant conferences and has visited more than 180 in-plant operations around the world. He has given presentations to numerous in-plant groups in the U.S., Canada and Australia, including the Association of College and University Printers and the In-plant Printing and Mailing Association. He also coordinates the annual In-Print contest, co-sponsored by IPMA and In-plant Impressions.
