Illinois Printers — A Printer’s Paradise

Chicago, in particular, has done a good job of attracting major corporations to set up their headquarters here, according to Johnson, providing lucrative opportunities for the state’s printers.

“As a result of Chicago becoming one of the nation’s largest centers for printing and publishing, the industry became highly organized and began to develop a long list of trade associations and organizations over the years designed to promote education, camaraderie among members and a forum for peer exchanges,” he notes.
