WHAT ARE THE CURRENT CHALLENGES
FACING WOMEN IN PRINT?
I do not believe that women face any more challenges in print
than men do. Print is just challenging these days as the market
forces are pushing pricing down yet the expectations of the
customers are higher than ever; the expectation that it can be
done faster, as well, is challenging for any printer. There are
more men in the business; however, that is just historical and
is changing.
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO A YOUNG WOMAN
WHO IS INTERESTED IN WORKING IN THE
PRINTING INDUSTRY?
It's a fast-paced, interesting industry and one where you can
actually use some creativity to set your company apart from
others. The technology that impacts the changes in the
industry make it a fascinating business.
