WhatTheyThink webinar, sponsored by Fujifilm, to discuss how wide format services can boost business, lock in customers

Lexington, Kentucky USA -- WhatTheyThink today announced the opportunity for industry professionals to attend a free printing industry educational webinar. Widening Horizons: How Wide Format Services Can Boost Business, Lock in Customers. The session will be led by WhatTheyThink Senior Editor Cary Sherburne and held Wednesday, May 18th, from 2:00 to 3:00 pm EDT (-4 GMT).

No-charge registration is available at the webinar registration page.

“As the market for conventional print continues to be difficult,” said Sherburne, “printing companies are looking for services they can add to fill the revenue gap. Many printers have installed wide format devices for proofing, but there is so much more that can be done with them to both generate new business and lock in customers with a broader array of services. Quite often, the assets that go into a brochure are also used in display graphics.  Someone is printing those.  Join us for this session to learn more about how you can make sure that ‘someone’ is you.”  

Sherburne will be joined by:

• Benny Bowman of Worth Higgins & Associates, Richmond VA
• Dean Gille of Badger Graphic Systems, Sun Prairie WI

 “As the wide format market has matured,” said Randy Davidson, President, WhatTheyThink, “equipment has become more automated and easier to use. In addition, there are many color management solutions available to ensure that wide format and offset printed products deliver consistent color across both production technologies.  We are pleased the Fujifilm is sponsoring this event, allowing us to offer this important educational session to attendees at no cost.”
Attendees will be able to participate in a live question and answer session to get the most from the experience and will be able to view and listen to the presentation using a standard Internet browser with audio streamed via computer.
