To Be a Profitable Printer invites you to look beyond the familiar issues of training, value-added services, and changing media and to recognize the value in managing well in a world of constant change. Learn how to make accountability, mission awareness, customer integration, quality, and preparation your new business mantras. This book explores a business theory and management approach that spells success, and the author underscores these elements with plenty of real-life examples and present-day scenarios that can be applied to your own business.

Three buzz phrases—consolidation, international competition, and soft demand—characterize the recent business environment, including that of the printing industry. So how does a printer distinguish itself in such an environment, both to the customer and on the bottom line?

In addition to the relevance of technological changes, this book focuses on five areas requiring attention by today’s printer: maximizing industry megatrends, applying five business principles for success and profitability, instilling a culture of quality, assessing risks and planning for them, and operating with a sense of action.
