Pune Press Owners Association has organized a Printers Meet in Pune on 6th Dec 2022.
The idea of this meet was to bring printers together to express their thoughts on various aspects of print business.
About 160 printers (small/medium/big) from Pune and around attended this meet and expressed their thoughts and views on current scenario of print business.
A questioner was circulated among the printers with different set of questions asking about why they choose this business, which area of print business they like more, what are their challenges in print business etc.
