Electronic Documents Growing... and Growing... and Growing

What does this mean to the printing industry? While many of these documents would never have been printed by a commercial printer, many of them would have been. The benefit to the content creator is that their initial print order can be smaller because the information will have this additional e-distribution. Any need for reprints can be diverted to digital presses or to people’s desks; that is, if the documents need to be printed at all.
