Angelo State University In-Plant Trades Outsourcing for Printmaster GTO Workhorse
The in-plant print shop at Angelo State University in San Angelo, Texas, is keeping more of its small-format printing in house since it installed a Heidelberg Printmaster GTO 52 4-color press in August.
“A lot of things used to go off-campus,” said production supervisor Henry Begil, resulting in a loss of control over projects and higher costs. Now, however, the in-plant is saving the University money by exercising a larger measure of control over the production of brochures, postcards, recruitment and other materials in run lengths from 1,000 to 15,000 pieces. Managing the shop’s increased capacity “has definitely kept us busy,” Begil said, and underscored the value of various time- and labor-saving features of the new Printmaster GTO press, especially the Prinect Classic Center control console, which makes short, convenient work of remote ink and register settings.
