Never lead with a negative. Saying Print is Dead or not dead, in my opinion is a poor strategy for printers to take. Comes off desperate. Just stay focused on what print solutions can do for the target audience.

Patrick's comment is correct. Never lead with a negative. Especially since there is so much POSITIVE images, ideas and capabilities flooding your new web site.
The site shows there's lots of exciting stuff going on at Allied: "Allied is a full-service company specializing in color critical (POPcolor®) offset and digital printing, packaging, direct mail, program management, fulfillment, and web-based marketing services (Popology™)"
So lead with something like "POP! It's a whole new world for marketers at The Allied Group." Emphasize the kind of integrated marketing campaigns you are capable of.
You guys are definitely on the right track. You just have to build and grow around print - not emphasize it.
Declaring that you'r an avant garde marketing services provider rather than a printer fighting the good "print is not dead" fight will frame your image in a much more positive light.
For what it's worth.

I can appreciate your thought process, Patrick. As you know, the marketplace is cluttered with marketing messages, and it’s tough to get people’s attention. Hence, the launch of our strategy for “breaking through the clutter” - our targeted direct mail and media campaign, complete with thought-provoking messages, that make the recipient stop in their tracks and give us a closer look. “Print is Dead” is just one of those messages, and we are happy it got your attention enough to make a comment. Thank you!

Yes, breaking through the noise is a huge challenge and I applaud your intentions.
