TOP 30 BOOK MANUFACTURERS — CLIMBING THE STACKS

Peter Tobin: The biggest change has been that there has not been enough four-color capacity in the book manufacturing market. Last year was a really challenging year, because it was such a big growth year in education publishing, both El-High and higher-ed, which is largely a four-color game.

The next three years project to be the same growth scenario in the market. So, for Courier, we added another high-output, four-color MAN Roland Lithoman press in December 2005, that came online just five months ago. It is a match to one we brought online in April 2004, so that is a lot of four-color capacity that we have added in the last couple years. Because of continuing demand, we ordered a third, identical Lithoman, which will be online this December. The big demand is for four-color capacity, and we’re ready.
