A Print Buyers International Program

Boot Camp for Print Designers is a much-needed new program designed to help graphic designers prepare their materials for commercial and digital printers and work with them effectively. Developed specifically for newer graphic designers, this three-hour seminar will cover the material you wish you’d learned in school – but didn’t, such as: how to prepare files for printers; what’s happening in the printing industry today; and the future of print in the digital age.

Discover valuable tips and insights that enable you to work more efficiently and cost-effectively on your employers' and customers' behalf. Explore current market changes and how the Internet is creating a new level of competition.

Boot Camp for Print Designers is led by the printing and print buying powerhouse team of RIT Professor Emeritus Frank Romano and PBI founder Margie Dana.

No one is better equipped to share this broad industry perspective.
