Digital Printing in Government
Tapella discussed the status of FDSys, GPO’s new digital system to automate the collection and dissemination of electronic information from all three branches. It will debut this year. (See IPG’s exclusive interview with Tapella in the features section of this site.)
Gilles Biscos, president of INTERQUEST, discussed key market trends. Though the move toward transpromo printing has caused some financial firms and banks to bring printing back in-house, outsourcing is still occurring, he said. Book printing is experiencing double digit growth. In the future, ink-jet will compete head on with electrophotography, putting even more pressure on offset.
