In an unusual announcement, Minneapolis-based printing giant Taylor Corp. has purchased Gooten Ltd., the print-on-demand platform. An official press release has not been issued as of yet, and terms weren’t disclosed. The deal was announced on the Print On Demand Playbook podcast, which is hosted by Taylor’s Rusty Pepper and Maddy Alcala, president of Gooten.
