Just like Dean Martin, I get letters

One of the great rewards of writing this piece every month is the communications the author receives from readers. Jeff Hayzlett, who earlier this year was named chief marketing officer for Kodak's Graphic Communications Group, thanked the author for reliving recent history a couple of months ago. It was a column in which the author noted the many companies Kodak had acquired over the past 15 years. Clifford Smith of ColorOnDemand.com wrote to ask the author's take on the current state of the printing industry. He is like most other printers, who have found the need to move into areas related to printing. One thing is for certain: if a company promotes itself passionately while adjusting to a changing industry, its growth will be constant.
