As Iowa State University Printing Services celebrates a century of operation, we talked with Director Nathan Thole about his in-plant’s enduring appeal, its recent open house, and why the in-plant decided to install an inkjet press, becoming one of the first university in-plants to do so.
Nathan Thole
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.
Very few in-plants ever reach the century mark, and Nathan Thole is proud to count his in-plant among them. Iowa State University Printing Services has seen many technology changes over the past 100 years, and is now blazing a trail into production inkjet printing.
As it celebrates 100 years of operation this year, Iowa State University Printing Services is marking yet another milestone by becoming one of the first university in-plants to install an inkjet press.
