The 2002 Printing Impressions 400 From Behind the Scenes --Mic
What does alarm me, however, is the overall sense of apathy that seems to be permeating our society and, consequently, the graphic arts industry. Maybe it's the recession that just won't seem to go away; or perhaps it's post-September 11 trauma and the war on terrorism that is taking its toll on our psyches. Even during past recessions, when printers also reported sales declines, there still was a burning desire to be recognized as one of the 400 largest printers. By now I think everyone has heard the mantra about the importance of promoting, nurturing and showing enthusiasm for one's business—especially during the hard times. Making the 400 list may not be big news for Quebecor World, Donnelley or Quad, but it does bring recognition to the privately owned, often single-plant operations that are the backbone of the industry.
