Firsthand Experience — Made in China

Does this spell doom for the U.S. printing industry? No! Not by a long shot. But it should serve as a wake-up call that if a U.S. printer is staying up to date, it may not be enough. Coffee table books that went to Asia years ago could be joined by monthly periodicals and, in some cases, even best-selling books. The U.S. printer is not destined to become redundant. There are many printed pieces that are almost “China proof” because of their nature and are not as price-sensitive as other jobs; for example, financial printing.
