Mississippi In-plant is a Quick Study

As the in-plant has added technology, it has also reduced its staffing needs. "When we were an offset shop, we had access to eight or nine students, in addition to our three full-time employees," Jones notes. "As we have moved to digital, we have also been able to scale down our help."

The shop operates one shift per day, five days a week, and all of its equipment isn't always running at peak capacity.
