Looking to the future, both father and son see the trend toward electronic communications continuing unabated, and feel that ink-on-paper will be discontinued in many applications. Robert Stokvis adds that the Internet will continue to adversely affect our industry as technology becomes more advanced, more mobile and more affordable.
“The migration of print to the Web has affected virtually all types of printing, and will likely continue in the future as more companies reduce their need for printed materials, and as the younger generation demands more Web-based information,” he concludes. “Even so, our future will be determined by how well we can manage ourselves through the current economic downturn. We will continue to serve our customers well, and try to come out of it in a strong, competitive condition.” PI
