Business Move Insults Industry Loyalty, Says PIA/GATF

As the world’s largest graphic arts trade association representing an industry with more than 1.2 million employees, PIA/GATF is working with senior-level officials at Adobe and asking for a meeting to resolve this unfavorable situation. “We value our relationship with Adobe and respect what the company has done over the years for the printing industry; however, our main focus lies with the concerns and needs of our more than 12,000 member companies,” Makin states. “We have heard in volumes from our membership that the alignment with one print company is sending the message that the print business which has supported Adobe in the past is no longer valuable.”
