FRAMINGHAM, MA -- JUNE 13, 2006 -- Today PrintPlanet.com announced the launch of the Publishers-SIG, a stand-alone, online forum.

With well over 40,000 members, the PrintPlanet Forums already offer graphic arts professionals a keen insight into the industry. Everyday printers, designers, corporate publishers, service providers, agency representatives, industry vendors and print buyers all share ideas on one of 18 unique forums. And - the best part - it's all free!
