Hello all,
I am surprised that there are not more discussions about the supply chain issues, that I believe we are all seeing. I work for a printer on the West Coast and cannot comprehend how scares paper and other products are. Almost every day when we place orders we are having to switch stock entirely or substitute sizes. Or for our Small Digital equipment having to buy parent sheets to cut to press size. (not sure how to cross post).
How are all of you dealing with these issues. Are you asking customers to eat the extra costs? Are you absorbing them? Are you trying to get suppliers to be more flexible in their pricing? On top of all the shortages, price increases seem to be going crazy as well.
I know other industries are being effected as well, but it seems in our "never say no world of print" things are really out of hand,
Thoughts?
Thanks,
SK
