Adobe/Kinko’s Link Has Industry Fuming
After receiving an overwhelming response from printers, Adobe’s senior vice president Johnny Loiacono sent out an e-mail that included the following: “We understand that this announcement has caused concern among some of our partners and key business allies in the print community. Our motivation for the deal was simple: offer customers, who are already printing and shipping through FedEx Kinko’s, a more seamless way of getting their print jobs done. Clearly, the industry did not view our announcement in that way. It was not Adobe’s intent to upset our loyal print partners or in-house print service providers. Adobe has a long history with the print community that we appreciate and value greatly.
