From the Editor: Two Views of In-plants
Then there's PIA. It is an excellent organization, working hard to strengthen the printing industry. Yet as a largely commercial printing-oriented association, it has taken action in support of outsourcing in-plants in the past. One government in-plant manager told me his operation was a PIA member for years—until PIA hired a lobbyist to testify before the senate in favor of private sector printers and against his in-plant (which, I'll say again, was a PIA member!).
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.
