According to American Forest & Paper Association data, we have lost 2 million tons of Uncoated Free Sheet (UCF) demand since 1999. This is the equivalent of 8 trillion pages. Where did all that paper go?
APALA presents renowned expert and “industry icon,” Frank Romano, on Thursday, January 19, 2006. Our industry constantly evolves, and so must we. Learn how past events changed the printing industry forever. New media and old media are converging in dynamic ways and the printing company of the future will be much different from the one you know today.
Frank Romano’s career has spanned over 40 years in the printing and publishing industries. Many know him as the editor of the International Paper Pocket Pal. He is the author of over 42 books, including the 10,000-term “Encyclopedia of Graphic Communications” (with Richard Romano), the standard reference in the field. He writes and lectures extensively and was the principal researcher on the landmark EDSF study, “Printing in the Age of the Web and Beyond.” He is also Professor Emeritus in the School of Print Media at Rochester Institute of Technology.
Join us as we kick-off a new year and have this rare opportunity to hear Mr. Romano as he speaks on issues that directly affect the printing industry and its future — and in turn, our career and livelihood.
