12. Quote from Zahir Salehmohamed General Manager, The Printing House of Toronto, Canada "Over 95 percent of our customers want their prints right away. For trade show graphics and posters, most prints are on glossy paper that we then laminate. With new HP Productivity Photo Gloss and Semi-Gloss Photo Paper, we don't have to wait a long time for prints to dry. We can now print and laminate in one quick and easy process.
