Creation of a Printing Industry Experts Committee GRAPHITEC’XPERTS

This committee brings together, for the first time, eleven leading professionals from the printing industries, i.e. printers, clients, government buyers, publishers, and communication agencies:

• Michel BESSOU, Government Purchasing Department Expert in printing solutions
• Dominique BOUFFARD, Consultant for LEO BURNETT (Groupe PUBLICIS)

Chaired by Patrick CAHUET, international printing industry expert and consultant for GRAPHITEC, the GRAPHITEC'XPERTS committee met in Paris on December 7th, 2010 and delivered an interim review of the print buyers and suppliers' future.

For these experts, the future printing scene will be shaped both by increasingly customized and Internet-centered communications, and environmental friendliness.

This new approach should feature:

• All-in-one offerings –  this will be facilitated by company consolidations and expertise sharing;
• Women and men highly trained in digital technologies, information technology and new communication media;
• Printing service providers who manage and handle digital data and databases;
• Attractive, high-quality and differentiating finished products.
