In-plants During the Recession
By embracing digital printing and shorter runs, in-plants have weathered the recession slightly better than their commercial counterparts, according to the latest data from InfoTrends.
In our 2008 study entitled “In-House Production Printing: Critical Trends in Corporations, Education, Government, and Non-Profits,” we learned that the adoption of digital printing hardware and software had steadily progressed in in-plant environments from where it was during 2004. One particularly compelling data point from this study was that a significant percentage of in-plants no longer offered offset printing services on-site. In 2004 nearly all (99.5 percent) of the survey respondents reported having some type of offset printing capability on-site, while in 2008 only around 57 percent said they offered it.
