Here's the full text of the press release. http://www.printcan.com/news/2010/20100224944.shtml Wed, 24 Feb 2010 16:39:39 EST According to the latest numbers from Statistics Canada, printing shipments for December dropped just over 11% from the same month in 2008, and 12.6% for the year-to-date period.
