Our production printing 2025 coverage reveals some dealers that are doing it well and how to get into it. Do your customers need light or full production? What equipment do they need? Editor-in-Chief Mark Vruno sets the stage as columnist Petra Diener looks into her crystal ball toward 2035. She believes dealerships hold the key to “in-sourcing’s” next chapter. However, pivoting is required! Founder Frank G. Cannata talked to two dealers to get a feel for what they’re doing with production printing: Systel Business Equipment in North Carolina and Pulse Technology near Chicago. We also delve into the inkjet side of the production printing world. Plus, Cannata shares some exciting developments in the textile printing space and reiterates why this area may be the next revenue-generating frontier for equipment dealerships. Contributor Noel Ward covers what dealers need to know when prospecting for in-plant printing customers.
