This "Print-on-Demand" capability, a buzzword in the printing industry, permits the commercial real-time printing of any document regardless of the print job's size; from hundreds to millions of pages.
LIS's goal is to become a major supplier of equipment, software and supplies for the commercial printer. Printing is America's third largest manufacturing industry, employing more than 1.2 million people in almost 46,000 establishments, producing over $165 billion of printed product and purchasing $4.5 billion of hardware and $7.7 billion of consumable products during 2003.
