Challenge - Technology Shift
Digital technology is changing the competitive landscape of the commercial printing market. Prices for digital color pages are falling below offset printing prices and companies that fall behind in the shift to digital printing are at risk.
What We Think
“The printing business is being reinvented as digital communications become more important. Printers who maintain outdated business models will not be able to compete. Clients are increasingly viewing printing as a commodity and focus on price. This has reduced margins and forced many printers to improve productivity to remain in business.”
