Survey: 74 Percent of Printers Saw Positive Q1

BOSTON—The latest survey by Semper International, a placement firm for skilled help in the graphic arts industry, indicates a large percentage of printers experienced profits and positive revenue growth in spite of the impact of bad weather and continued economic malaise.

The new survey offers 12 insights that Semper saw in the survey data. Insights include that current revenues remain relatively low, although companies are beginning to report positive revenue growth; despite a hiccup, firms remain bullish on sales growth; and while still troubling, the overall economy is marginalizing as a threat.
