American Printer magazine closes
August 21, 2011 by Kevin · Leave a Comment
The end of a 128-year run. Hard to believe, but an indication of how tough the US market is at present.
Certainly printers here and worldwide have been closing every month for the last 3-4 years. But few saw this one coming. Some still think it a hoax. But it reflects that suppliers too, who provide most of the monthly income to the magazine by way of advertising, are tightening their wallets.
Was American Printer Mag too locked in the past? They dabbled in online TV news for a time then gave up and their website is dated. Online competitors www.whattheythink.com have proven to be far been more forward thinking and proactive.
No word yet whether American Printer will continue it’s online version…
