Mukherjee expressed, "First the government of India should take a serious view of the gray-market, which is a killer segment for the print equipment manufacturers. Though we term it as a print industry, it is not really a part of Indian industry."

Mukherjee added, "Print needs to be recognized as an industry. There is a need for a print industry forum on the lines of NASSCOM. Government’s MSME schemes should be made easy and accessible. And finally, training is a vital cog in growth of any segment. All government training colleges should have printing as a subject."
