Digital Printing: A Bright Future for Books
A. It could be. I wouldn’t say it’s a five-year goal. There’s still a lot that we need to do internally. I think the technology needs to advance a little more, and the infrastructure would need to be built out a little further for that.
Having satellite or hub printing is probably the way I see that rolling out. It has to be cost-effective; we would need the IT infrastructure to support satellite printing as would the printers. We would need the printer network. There is a lot of infrastructure that needs to happen before that is realized.
