If you ask most print providers today about their biggest barriers to success, most will include recruitment and retention of talent at the top of their list. The labor challenges facing printing – and many other manufacturing industries – are many. As an aging workforce of baby boomers retires, their exit from the market is causing a labor shortage. But this is a problem that extends beyond simple headcounts. These workers, who came into printing as a craft, a skill, enjoyed careers built around the skills and needs of offset processes.

It is one of the manufacturer's main responsibilities to make products that meet environmental requirements and to produce products that protect the environment. For more than 20 years, Kyocera has insisted on developing products that last longer, minimise the number of printer consumables being handled and provide users with high-quality, environmentally friendly products.
