Smaller Printers Expect Robust 2011

Some 70 percent of quick and small commercial printers expect sales to grow in 2011 while just 7 percent expect them to decrease, according to the inaugural issue of the National Association for Printing Leadership (NAPL) Quick and Small Commercial Printers Trends Report.

The new NAPL (www.napl.org) report, sponsored by Xerox, reveals that 55 percent of those surveyed enjoyed sales growth last year, although there was a wide gulf between the top 20 percent, for whom sales grew 11.4 percent, and the bottom 20 percent, who saw sales decline 7.1 percent.
