Leading print industry trade association opens members-only access to market reports, research studies and APTech Disaster Recovery Toolkit at www.PRINTtechnologies.org 

Reston, Va. – The Association for PRINT Technologies (APTech) has launched its new website (PRINTtechologies.org) and is offering a limited time, all-access pass for its usually-firewalled, members-only content.

“This all-access pass is like getting a free provisional membership,” says Thayer Long, president, APTech. “With the launch taking place during this challenging time when so many members of our community are looking for ways to keep their businesses afloat, it’s the right thing to do for the print community.”

The leading not-for-profit organization supporting the print industry, APTech provides a forum to inspire the development of new and valuable print products. Its mission is to educate, provide market research, and foster collaboration between those who create and those who make. APTech’s thousands of members comprise the global print industry value chain: OEMs, suppliers, printers, brand owners, agencies, and creatives.

New PRINTtechnologies.org resource highlights:

Free Research Reports
The 30-day all-access pass allows visitors to download many of the organization’s most popular research reports including The Future of Print in the U.S. ($498) and Print Applications: Revenues, Processes, and Run Lengths in Commercial Printing ($895).
