Houston’s Metropolitan Transit Authority recently upgraded its in-plant's digital printing capabilities by installing six new Canon devices: three wide-format printers and three digital presses. We talked with Louis Ferrel, director of Communication Services, about how these new capabilities are helping his in-plant flourish.

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 200 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.
Dan Marx, Content Director for Wide-Format Impressions, holds extensive knowledge of the graphic communications industry, resulting from his more than three decades working closely with business owners, equipment and materials developers, and thought leaders.
Running an in-plant is challenging enough already, but when your shop is not fully staffed, it gets even tougher. We talked with five managers whose in-plants have been unable to fill open positions to find out how they are getting by.
LOUIS FERREL wakes up each morning in the driver's seat, operating ahead of schedule even before he assumes his official duties as manager of printing services for Houston's Metropolitan Transit Authority (Metro). What gives him such a head start?
