"One thing Ive noticed is the demand for a personal service," said Hodgson. "We can offer full service, including binding and booklet making. We dont major on design because we dont want to step on customers toes."

Although Hodgson feels variable data isnt quite there yet, he plans to educate customers so they can take advantage of the opportunities presented by the process.
