As a print professional, YOU have a great story to tell, great projects to share and great expertise to offer. Connect online with your printing peers on International Print Day on Wednesday, October 14.

Along with #IPD15, #PrintNOW has been designated for all print professionals to share examples of print on social media (Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, YouTube, etc.). Commercial printers, print buyers, paper mills, graphic designers, book publishers, marketers and manufacturers are urged to participate.
