Current Situation
Printers
- Difficult market situation due to increasing costs and cheap competition in the Internet and abroad
- Number of editions and copies are stagnating, are fewer or are decreasing
- Over capacity has been built up over years
- Tedious and time-consuming approval processes with customers cost time and money
- Difficult quality assurance – lower budget but the same work is involved
Agencies
- Considerable competition, large budgets are rare
- Quite often dependency on a few big customers
- Long drawn out correction processes with customers, including many media breaks, which are error prone and cost intensive.
In order to create print objects, time and cost-intensive processes are required. Data must be collected and compiled. If the data are then creatively designed and put into a layout, endless correction cycles often block further production. Corrections by fax, mail or handwritten messages must be inserted until the data can finally go into print.
