TrendWatch Graphic Arts and A.F. Lewis Information Services announce the release of the latest issue of “Graphic Directions,” featuring a comprehensive look at the inroads that digital, on-demand printing has made into the book printing and publishing industry.
The latest issue (issue #15, February 2005) looks at book printing and publishing. How is the book publishing industry changing? And, more specifically, what inroads has digital, on-demand printing made into the industry? How does this technology affect book printers, publishers, and others who comprise the galaxy of markets that serve the book publishing industry?
Each month, “Graphic Directions: Charting the Course of the Graphic Communications Industry” concentrates on a particular technology–digital color printing, computer-to-plate systems, wide-format printing, binding and finishing, web offset printing, inks and toners, and others–looking at those various technologies in terms of the historical trends, current market status, related equipment, and long-term forecast. Trend and installed base data are supplemented with perspectives from all corners of the industry including: printers, suppliers, designers, publishers, ad agencies, and media buyers on what they are saying about that technology.
Researcher’s Quote
“Most of the available information resources present graphic communications technologies and trends from one vantage point at a time: What do printers think? What do creatives think? But graphic communications workflows are collaborative-and are becoming more so every day. To really understand what’s happening in such a dynamic industry, you need to tie many different perspectives together. This is where leveraging a variety of data sources offers tremendous value.”

About A.F. Lewis Information Services
More than 95 years ago, A. F. Lewis & Co. Inc. began compiling data sheets that show graphic arts equipment counts by employee size and by state and region. These tabulations were made for different types of companies operating different combinations of equipment. This made it possible to see the distribution of each type of company across the United States and Canada, and to see where the presses, typesetters and other classes of equipment were concentrated.
Today, these lists comprise more than 110,000 individuals at 65,000 locations encompassing printers, trade shops, and suppliers, and form the basis of the Graphic Arts Blue Book, GraphSTATS, and many other data products and services.
