If you are wondering what’s happening in the world of book manufacturing, and how that might impact your ability to produce a book economically and on time, you’ll definitely want to listen to what Jonnie Bryant of McNaughton & Gunn has to say.

Topics include

  • changes in paper availability producing price rises and longer schedules
  • allocation of paper from the mills to printers for the first time in years
  • how the demand for diapers and teabags is making it harder for you to produce your book!
  • how new trucking safety regulations mean you may not be able to get the paper when you need it
  • why you may find it harder to procure alternative groundwood sheets in the future: is this the end of the cheap lightweight option?
  • the development of color inkjet printing that marries high quality with low cost, making all sorts of new projects possible
  • will new print technologies better enable publishers to go direct to consumer?
  • will the decline of printrun size lead to such large unit-cost increases that the nature of publishing and intellectual life is forever changed?
  • And more!
