May 9, 2005 -- Professional print buyers know that there's nothing “hotter” in the printing industry these days than Digital Printing. At the next meeting of Boston Print Buyers, Chris Wells, CEO of LaVigne Inc. of Worcester, Massachusetts, will review how digital printing started, the differences between digital and traditional offset presses, the benefits and drawbacks to digital printing, and where it's headed in the future. If you purchase printing today, you need to know all you can about this state-of-the-art technology, including: What does ‘digital printing’ really mean? How can I decide between digital and offset printing? What are the pros and cons to 'going digital’? How can I take advantage of my data to launch real-time targeted marketing campaigns?” Boston Print Buyers Established to serve the needs of professional print buyers, Boston Print Buyers presents information and offers events to provide education and networking opportunities exclusively to print buyers.
