Help Printers in Hurricanes' Path

According to Ed Chalifoux, president of the Printing Industry Association of the South (PIAS)—which covers (among other states) Louisiana and Mississippi—approximately 130 printing companies reside in the affected areas, of which 40 member companies are based in New Orleans.

At press time, 10 to 15 of those printers have power and capability to print, but their reliance on local printing jobs have left them lacking for sales. West side printers escaped with mainly wind damage, Chalifoux notes.
