Dr Joe's Printing Industry Blog

China's printing industry is discussed in this article. Don't take everything at face value: they include all aspects of printing in their data, from packaging, textile, and probably even signs. The data that I use in my columns and other scenarios is commercial printing only. Nonetheless, these data are quite interesting. Remember... in 20 years China's economy will be larger than that of the U.S., and in 30 years, India's will be as well. There will be a major shift in economic power to Asia, and it's essential to be part of it now.
