A Look at Printing in 2010

Ready for Recovery
My perspective is that, while funding is limited, people are finally, really ready to turn this around. I say this because I find increasing response rates to our marketing programs and increased interest in equipment and software investments. I think that the market truly is improving—but that, even if I'm right, it will be a slow and lengthy journey.
