Firsthand Experience — Made in China

The labor/cost differential between offshore and U.S. printers, in most cases, cannot be eliminated solely with new equipment because the Chinese printers themselves will be facing lower labor costs, once the Indian and Vietnamese printers start chasing the U.S and Western European markets. Western European printers are facing a two-front foray from both the Chinese and Eastern European printers. Their long-term success in staying competitive is even more daunting than the one U.S. printers face.
