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.

Held in Bellevue, Wash., near Seattle, the meeting combined excellent educational sessions with a well-orchestrated plant tour that left many attendees breathless.

Called University Publishing, it is one of the first in-plants to receive FSC certification. Steve Rigby, director of printing, says WSU’s strong commitment to the environment and sustainability inspired the in-plant to begin the certification process. With its certification in hand, the in-plant can now include the FSC logo on its printed products, further spreading the message about WSU’s commitment to the environment and to well managed forests. “We’re the biggest user of paper products on campus,”
