James Dunn Q&A -- Leading Into the Future

PI: Bernhard Schreier, Heidelberg CEO, announced at Drupa that he expects the print media industry to continue to rebound noticeably on a worldwide basis. What are your predictions for the overall state-of-the-industry of the U.S. graphic arts market for the next 12 months?

Dunn: Heidelberg supports the research of the NAPL, which indicates that the U.S. market has stopped declining and that it expects print growth of roughly 4 percent for 2004. Our hope, of course, is that we can help printers continue to find new revenue streams and reap greater profits from those small jobs they once turned down in the 1990s.
