Q3 Paper Outlook — Waiting for the Rebound

The National Association of Printing Leadership's (NAPL's) March survey of printers found that just 9.8 percent of those responding to the survey reported that paper prices were rising. "That is just half of the 18.4 percent who reported that paper prices were rising last November," reveals NAPL Chief Economist Andrew Paparozzi. "In the same token, 37.6 percent of the printers surveyed reported that paper prices are continuing to drop," he adds.
