The Changing Face of Quick Printing
Chains
Chains are a network of quick printers or copy shops where the individual sites are owned by the chain rather than the franchisee. Chains generally have a national presence and may even be active internationally. The chain is typically managed by the corporate parent.
Although FedEx Kinko’s is the only example of a chain where copying and digital printing is the primary focus, quick print locations in office superstores also fall into this classification. These chains tend to place a greater focus on copying and digital printing than offset printing.
