Our plant is designed to run jobs like the TV Guide, The Donnelly Directory, Readers Digest, NYTs, Avon, etc. We ran anywhere from a few hundred thousand to a few million impressions per job. We have 7 double web offset presses and 7 double web Gravure presses, and two times as many binding lines. These aren’t short run or low volume, they’re printing packaging and they’re booming. They’re running state of the art high speed Heidelberg’s and KBA’s. Like everywhere else, the lack of qualified employees is hamstringing them.

Don’t worry, that’s the last sales pitch I’ll make. 😇

We will probably have plenty of used ones for sale soon. I was amazed how many different types of pallets there are when I first started here. It seems like every customer required a different type and it was a PITA programming robots/APLs for the different types.

Sticker shock is another difficulty.

It was +0.3% m-o-m ex-food and energy and +5.7% y-o-y. The drop in gas prices is why overall was negative but core was slightly positive.

Again, it's already happened to starbucks for leaving philly. Wawa is doing the same
January 12, 20232 yr Just my observation from work. Walgreen's having the same problem. Vandalized electrical in closed stores. Currently working on 4. Two in Louisville KY, 1 in SC and 1 in Jackson MS. I posted a pic somewhere earlier of one we did in Kensington. I see it as criminal rather than racism. Gas prices slight decline did nothing to affect heating oil (which it never does but sometimes it follows). Ordered a tank full today @ $3.999. Thanks Joe! 😄

Thanks Joe! 😄 Weird because around me the heating oil prices have dropped below gas prices. Gas is still 3.69 and heating oil is went from 5 bucks a gallon to 3.50.
