Confidence improves as print demand remains positive - orders and output to continue growth in Q3

Improvement in output and orders continued in Q2 – though not by enough to match the very positive expectations. Almost two-fifths (37%) of printers boosted output in the second quarter of 2014 according to the latest BPIF Printing Outlook survey. A further 45% held output levels steady whilst 18% experienced a drop in output. The overall improvement (the balance between ups and downs) was 19; well below the forecasted 48 but nonetheless the fifth consecutive positive quarterly report.

Also in Printing Outlook this quarter:

Pay Reviews - what have companies done and what do they expect to do?
Web to Print - just how much of printing companies turnover is currently derived through Web to Print?
How do respondents view the current position of their business?
Pre-packs - how many companies have been directly affected by the activities of a pre-pack?
A more in-depth look at energy costs.
