New Yorker Magazine Rolls Out iPad Edition

Published October 6, 2010

Lately, we have been discussing the trend of newspaper, book and magazine publishers to convert their content for e-readers.

Published July 19, 2010

Agfa Graphics announced last week that it signed an agreement to purchase the assets of Pitman, one of the few remaining independent dealers of equipment including prepress, inkjet, pressroom and packaging printing products.
