Printing Outlook Q1 2016 report published
A better-than-expected seasonal boost in Q4 meant that both output and orders surpassed their Q4 forecasts – expectations for Q1 also remain positive. The latest Printing Outlook survey reveals that the majority of printers (56%) increased their output levels in the final quarter of 2015. A further 29% of printers managed stable output levels in Q4, whilst 15% suffered a fall in output. The resulting balance (the difference between the ups and the downs) was 41; well above the forecasted balance of 28, and more positive than the balance reported for the same period last year.
