Printing was not going to remain the same, since the consumer was not going to remain the same. When times got hard, the inevitable change came more quickly.

There is nothing like a little pressure to get things really rolling. When the same old, same old wasn't good enough, the printing industry started to embrace some really fantastic ideas and technologies."
