The trade publishing landscape has shifted and publishers continue to adapt to an ever changing industry. Printing fewer copies but placing more frequent orders, shorter lead times, greater responsiveness to sales, reduced inventory; CPI printers have supported major publishing houses through all the market changes over the last 60 plus years.
