Penn Lithographics--Partnering and Progressing

"By the end of the year, we'll add FTP capabilities via the Web site to our existing alternatives for file transfer," Howington promises. "That's www.pennlitho.com. And we're developing other asset management systems utilizing Internet interfaces as well.

"This is still a very challenging marketplace, no doubt about it," he says, "and we can't just be someone who puts ink on paper. Commercial printers must adapt to digital technology, in all its forms, because whoever controls it becomes a partner in its multiple uses. At Penn, we're positioning ourselves to play that partnered role with clients."
