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 170 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.

For years, Southern in-plant managers have been inviting me to the Southeastern University Printing and Digital Managers Conference (SUPDMC). As the name implies, this is a group of in-plant managers who hail mostly from Southern states.

With the retirement of his offset pressman last August, Mike Ford, Print Services manager at Kilgore College in Kilgore, Texas, decided to retire his offset presses as well. “We are going through some really tough financial times here in Texas with our higher education system, and when my pressman told me that he was retiring, I knew that we would not be able to replace him,” Ford points out. “There are just not a lot of offset pressmen or bindery operators in this area.”
