For the past few days, I have been working with my son Paul on our annual Ratio Reports/Studies for the printing industry. It’s a very tedious process, to say the least. However, I believe it’s a very important exercise for print shop owners and managers—and for Paul and his brother Barton, who are currently taking on more management responsibilities in our company.
