Output levels at a six-year high - Q1 to be quieter but confidence remains buoyant

Confidence is clearly returning within the UK printing sector, according to the latest BPIF Printing Outlook survey. When questioned regarding the general state of trade during the final quarter of 2013, more than half (55%) believed that the market improved with just 8% reckoning the situation had worsened. The results are the best for five and seven years respectively.

New in Printing Outlook this quarter:

• 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.
