[Imc] Taking the UCIMC to the next level.

[Paul Riismandel]

Where is there a press? Is it offset?

Typically, from my understanding, with an offset press, once you get it 
running it's best to keep it running.  Kind of like a car, it doesn't like 
to sit idle--you want it well used and lubed.  Plus, paper and ink costs 
are sort of incidental, since it's the labor to run  it, maintenance and 
the cost of the press itself that are the real expenditures.

Both the DI and Octopus outsource their printing (not that we need to be 
like them).
