It is estimated that nearly one third of those employed by the printing industry are over age 55. In addition to the aging workforce, nearly 5,000 new jobs are created each year due to the rapidly changing methods of printing and image transfer.
The printing and imaging process is used in the manufacturing and marketing of just about every item that we use. Whether it is the label on an item that you purchase or the dashboard of your car, it was printed. The way we communicate today has increased the demand for printed products as much as 20 percent. The internet has actually caused a major increase in the demand for printed material.
