    I think anyone putting money in a Reprographics company would be crazy paper documents are coming to a close and technology will make this company obsolete

    I had to laugh when I saw the above comment come into my blog's “comment in-box.”The investment company analysts and mutual fund analysts (who work for the companies that hold shares in ARC) are pretty smart people; they are well aware of trends affecting the repro world and the print world. Technology developments (digitization) are definitely going to negatively affect “hard-copy printing” over time, but I seriously doubt that either industry – the print industry or the repro industry – will become obsolete in my lifetime. And, I'm “only” 66.
