If you’re fortunate enough to attend the major trade conferences, you know how valuable many of the sessions can be. If you can’t attend them, sometimes fortune still comes your way through online Webinars.

At this past week’s GraphExpo conference in Chicago, a number of sessions focused on using digital printing in place of traditional offset printing, and how to profit from it. On September 27th, PIA/GATF presenters Tracey Ryan and Joe Marin offer a free one-hour “Designing for Digital” Webinar.

Topics include:

• Digital printing and how it complements traditional offset.
• Guidelines for choosing the right technology for a project.
• How to select papers for digital print applications.
• Techniques for “Getting the Results You Want,” from color enhancement to reverse type.

The time is from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time. To participate, all you need is a telephone line and an internet connection. Register at www.paperspecs.com/webinar/digital.htm.
