Is there anything "hotter" in the printing biz 
these days than Digital Printing? Are you 
constantly asking yourself questions like,

     * What does 'digital printing' really mean?
     * How can I decide if my job should go digital vs. offset?
     * What are the pros and cons to 'going digital'?
     * How can I take advantage of my data to 
launch real-time targeted marketing campaigns?

If so, you will not want to miss this Boston Print Buyers event!

Come learn about digital printing from Chris 
Wells, CEO of LaVigne Inc., in Worcester, MA.

commercial printing companies in New England and

the country. It has been featured in published 
case studies by Hewlett Packard, Printable

for its innovative pursuit of the Print On Demand

over 100 printing firms from across North America 
attended a two-day open house at LaVigne, hosted 
by Hewlett Packard, to showcase LaVigne's success 
in digital publishing.

heard him: he never fails to impress!). Last year 
he was named one of the 20 top visionaries in the 
industry by Printing Impressions Magazine. He has

Although we love printers, brokers, paper pros
