NARROW-WEB PRESS PURCHASE PAINS?

Relatively, the narrow-web market is in a much better boat than many other printer segments. Printing Industries of America's (PIA) 2001 Ratios study pegs label printers as the most profitable specialty print market in 2001. The average profit rate (as percentage of sales) was 3.07 percent, but label printers reported a 5.53 percent profit.
