Ever since I got into the print industry, people have told me - what a waste, print is dead!?
I was very misguided at first. I didn’t know what the print industry was capable of. I felt I made the wrong decision - but my place was here. I had a hard time coming up with a rebuttal.?
Until now...
After 6 years of being in the industry. I know what we can do. So all I have to say is this:
Walk into a grocery store.
Go to a sporting event.
Drive on the highway.
Eat at a restaurant.
Print is all around us. Whether you notice it or not,
Warning labels, signage, menus, packaging, shirts, advertisements, and so much more.
Printing is not about words on paper, that’s the history of the industry. It has ever evolved to be able to print on anything you can imagine.?
Printing is not dead, but has never been?so alive.
Next time you hear, print is dead - tell them to look up, down, and around -?print is everywhere.

2 年Julia, nice post! I’d go as far to say that print is one of, if not the largest industries in the world! There are large, small and shops in between. There are commercial, transactional, transpromotional and industrial print. There is wide format, signage, flexi and gravure. Then there is book printing which is and continues to be among the largest volume of the print in the world. See the article link to see book print by the numbers for each country in the world in 2022 alone. It’s staggering! https://wordsrated.com/number-of-books-published-per-year-2021/
