Preparing for 2013
Though the economy is slowly recovering, parent organizations continue to focus on reducing overhead. In-plants must remain vigilant for ways to decrease the cost of manufacturing, measure improvements and respond to customers' changing needs.
In addition, there was a general consensus of opinion that large-format printing was a growth opportunity. It was discussed by several manufacturers of both roll-fed and flatbed devices. In one presentation I attended, I heard a manufacturer say that if you can bill for just three hours of work a day, you could make more than $100,000 a month in profits.
