Go EAST Young Bindroid!
It's no secret that the printing industry in the United States has contracted over the past 10 years. This has created challenges not only for printers themselves, but for the vast array of suppliers and manufacturers to the print industry.
So it was an eye-opener reading several reports on the state of the Chinese print industry over the last two weeks. While U.S. printers (all establishments) have condensed down to around 34,000 shops, China boasts over 102,000 printers. More impressive, their printing industry employs over 3.5 MILLION people!
