The goal: To help establish a legislative presence in the state capitol by having our members visit with their elected officials and staff. Participants will help educate legislators about the graphic communications industry’s economic impact in California, and discuss their thoughts on the most impactful state legislation that the industry is facing this year. This includes discussing bills related to workforce development, taxation and environmental issues.

This Legislative Action Day is a vital part of our efforts to build a comprehensive government affairs program here in California. Our ultimate goal is to influence what gets introduced and implemented. When legislators are contemplating bills, we want them to stop and think, “I wonder what the printing industry would think about this policy idea, or what the impacts would be on them.” Having our legislators speak with business owners and managers directly can be an extremely powerful way to ensure that our perspectives are considered.

Direct mail remains an essential marketing channel and an important source of revenue for printers.  New Postal Service programs offer you a way to add value to your direct mail offerings and improve your margins.  Informed Visibility allows you and your customers to follow each piece of mail through the postal system to delivery.  Informed Delivery gives consumers a daily email preview of what to expect in their mail box that day. Learn how these programs can benefit you and your customers.

More creative and color-critical decisions are made on an LCD display than on any other device or media. Yet, most of us are not managing our displays properly to ensure that what we’re seeing on our display is as close as possible to what the final printed product will look like. It’s easy–you just need to know a few basic things! This webinar will give you all the requirements and how-tos for calibrating and profiling displays for color-accurate soft proofing.
