NPES Industry Summit Portrays a Healthy Industry with Global Growth Prospects

PRINT OUTLOOK, which has previously been held in December in Washington, D.C., delivered a day-and-a-half review of how print is performing in the communications marketplace today and what lies ahead, both for the industry and for the national economy.

A series of speakers concurred that sustained economic growth and smart adoption of technologies to create new value-added services have helped put the U.S. printing industry in its strongest position in many years. Opening PRINT OUTLOOK, NPES Vice President William K. “Kip” Smythe commented, “I don’t think I have been this optimistic in at least 15 years. The last time we met, we had seen from 2004 that it looked like the industry was starting to come back. Now, it is clear we have had sustained growth.”
