COMMENT
At a time when more and more paper-based
processes are being digitised, it is unusual to
find someone who will stand up for print; it is
much easier to focus on paper’s negatives and
ignore its virtues – and look clever and decisive
for doing so. Yet all actions have consequences.
If print budgets are cut because digital processes
have reduced demand for print, fair enough.
But if print is restricted simply to save money, it
could be damaging.
This is highlighted by recent reports of schools that
have had to ration printing in the classroom even when
it is essential for teaching and coursework. Schools are
quite rightly seeking to gain control and visibility of print
costs, but when it starts to affect the quality of teaching
things have clearly gone too far.
Does this also happen in the business world? One
hears a lot about the greater efficiencies of digital
workflows, but there must be processes that worked
better when they were paper-based. If you hear of any
examples, please let me know.
In the meantime, you can find useful arguments and
statistics in support of print and paper in a new report
from Royal Mail MarketReach.
