Southern Success Story
The proofing stage has been a source of backlogs, Wilson says. Often customers don't sign off on proofs right away, delaying printing. Some have even gone on vacation without giving approval. They need to be educated on the importance of quickly signing off on proofs.
Wilson plans to discuss this dilemma with his peers at the National State Publishing Association conference this month in Connecticut. Having attended the event for many years, and hosted it in 1996, he says he gets a number of great ideas from the conference each year.
