Joann Witcher from My Print Source online magazine reports that there has been a paradigm shift in book manufacturing and printing. The traditional printing model of a print company in say, Scoresby, is one of large print runs with returns that averaged 30 to 40 percent and three to four week turnarounds just doesnt work in todays commercial landscape. Nowadays the demand is for on-demand, short run printing that can respond to the pressures of return risks, storage costs and so they can bring books to markets faster than ever before.

SMART Networking Forum facilitates regular networking events throughout the year. These events are held at Caf 1330 on Ferntree Gully Road in Scoresby.
