Book Printing Outlook -- El-Hi, Hogwarts Shine

The four-color side of the business has seen challenges from Asia and the Pacific Rim. Positions in Latin America, however, will enable Quebecor World to respond with a viable alternative (see sidebar).

Quebecor World added finishing assets for its trade printing facilities in 2005. A 9˝, two-color press is ticketed for Taunton, MA, and an 11˝, 64-page unit will be installed in Versailles, KY, for four-color education work. Three more presses are due to touch down in the Buffalo mass-market facility.
