Re PRI show, I would think that many vendors would have ties to the large corporate sponsors that organize the events who make printing services available to their dealers. Usually their catalogs seem similar in layout and presentation, plus they print large quantities. When you get to a business or club publication that doesn't print huge quantities for mailing (another big cost increase} then they are faced with projected cost over runs. So, they need to ease expenses. In POCI's case the Smoke Signals is probably the largest expense in their budget. Also, many car clubs are faced with declining membership in most cases which means even smaller runs of publications. Many cottage vendors that sell reproduction parts have quit printing catalogs. It's the future unfortunately.
