Learn the Roots of Commercial Printing
Understanding history is important in almost every aspect of life. As they say, you don’t know where you’re going if you don’t know where you’ve been. In an industry like commercial printing, if you want to advance and better the status quo, the past must be studied and observed. By learning what worked and what didn’t work in the past, you can really understand the current state of the industry and why things are done that way, and in turn it can help you in perfecting your craft and developing the next big thing.
The American Printing History Association is a membership based organization that supports the study of printing and printing related arts and crafts.
