At USAA Insurance, down in San Antonio, Texas, Manager Jack Mondin likewise prints a heavy volume of four-color work—60 percent of his workload, he estimates. Customers demand it, he says, because it bolsters their marketing efforts.

"We've got to maintain that competitive advantage," Mondin says.
