Innovative manufacturing technologies, new buyer demands, and the convergence of online and print media have spawned the most dramatic changes the print industry has ever seen. Many longtime standouts have all but disappeared, while others have become the next profit leaders. The difference is the ability to anticipate, understand, and leverage the industry's changing dynamics—uncovering its exceptional rewards.
