In-plants Furious About Adobe/Kinko’s Link

Meanwhile, NAPL, a trade association for printers, has already fired off a letter to Adobe’s Chief Executive Officer Bruce Chizen expressing the disappointment of its members.

“The advantage gained by FedEx Kinko’s through this agreement with Adobe comes at the expense of the many other printers—including many of our members—who have played such a pivotal role in establishing Adobe as the defacto standard among many end users for reading documents and printing file submission,” stated the letter, cowritten by Joseph P. Truncale, president and chief executive officer of NAPL, and Steve Johnson, president and chief executive officer of the National Association of Quick Printers (NAQP).
