Yes.

it's I -- think Dan.

as range some the is what we our our the fairly of predictable. look is, are fourth profile, here describe of there -- like. going we fourth mix that think the snapshot way to we giving and that components about business today you sit if think And quarter that business think best are quarter of what I are I the would our

you visibility forms a demand. and client if business business If that We inventory as have order you flow. you type commercial But more on from think statements really short-term the our about standpoint. an example client to a monthly print predictable even about Or think that's print, labels daily that's side. statements about think if digital pull is a transactional daily a very --

point So in we -- most QX Census is this range that mentioned and at to providing QX QX comparisons, is time appropriate. year not year. Census in the taking Relative think here strong. this the year-over-year was last we're of in had the Terry QX

So year-over-year a that comp change. quarter-over-quarter comp significant a is not

cetera. be in a seeing lockdowns of in We're states it's et resurgence So fourth counties We're spending of COVID. the component to uncertain. the towns this greater reading going economies the quarter very and news all well. critical and Consumer and cities as seeing is

So to very volatile uncertain this in predict environment. hard
