Effect on U.S. Printers

What does this all mean for U.S. printers? First, offshore competition is not weakening, and I believe it is gathering strength. In the past, most U.S. printers faced competition from Hong Kong, Japan and Italy, among other countries, mainly for calendars, "coffee table" books, fine art, etc. But today, there are more than enough competitors in China, India and, moving up quickly, Vietnam. And they are looking to print anything without a restrictive deadline.
