PIA/GATF report on Survey of Printing Industry

According to printing companies recently surveyed, the most significant issue currently challenging the company was labor and staffing. This was followed by competitor’s pricing, raising cost of paper, health insurance, and declining demand.
The survey also revealed printers that focused on specialty printing grew the most(+8.6%) in 2006 followed by Business Forms (+5.7%), General Commercial Printers(+4%), Greeting Card Printers(+4%), and Newspaper (+2%).
Last comment survey reported included traditional ‘ink based’ printers hold @75% of the market but is decreasing due to an increase in demand for digital printing.
