Reviewing the Efficiency of State Printing Plant Operations (100-hour audit)
View Abstract
Published: FEBRUARY, 1996
With few exceptions, standard jobs (such as letterhead, envelopes, and business cards) being printed at State agencies with their own printing facilities could be done by the State Printing Plant or a private-sector printing firm. For our limited sample of such printing jobs, the State Printer’s estimated charges were less to print most items than commercial printers or other State agencies, even though the other State agencies don’t include all costs of operation in their estimated charges.

Comparing Division of Printing and Commercial Printers’ Charges, A Special Audit Report
View Abstract
Published: SEPTEMBER, 1980
In June 1980, legislative concern was expressed that the charges for printing by the Division of Printing were not competitive with charges for printing by the private sector. As a printing establishment in the public sector, the Division of Printing has several cost advantages which should make its charges for printing lower than commercial printer’s pricces. These include: no profit margin, no taces, no rent or mortgage payments on the State Printing Plant, no sales and marketing expenses, and no interest on capital equipment purchases. The Division is not reaching the expected cost advantage.The reason the Division does not enjoy the expected cost advantage is because it is not competitive with the private sector primarily in the areas of forms and publications, which account for over half of the Division’s workload. The main reason the Division is not competitive in these areas appears to be that the Division’s printing equipment, which is geared to produce a broad range of jobs, is not as efficient for printing forms and publications as the equipment of the commercial printers who specialize in these areas.
