GRAPH EXPO & CONVERTING EXPO 2002 -- Showing Signs of Recovery

NAPL has tracked printers' confidence levels since 1992, and while no strong long-term patterns are obvious, there have regularly been increases in confidence in the periods immediately around shows. "Printers have become more and more skilled in financial management," Paparozzi continues. "Graph Expo and Converting Expo provides sober, insightful information to help people run their businesses better. It plays a very valuable role in shaping the future of the industry."
