To be held virtually, the summit will appeal to a wide segment of the print-decorating community, including graphic designers, brand owners, printers, print finishers and binders. “This online event truly focuses on how print finishing and binding can add value to print,” said FSEA Executive Director Jeff Peterson. “Sessions are built to appeal to a wide audience, featuring speakers who will address sustainability issues, design trends and technical troubleshooting. From understanding how paper choices affect the final product, to seeing samples of how others are utilizing finishing and binding techniques, the Online Spring Summit is an exciting educational opportunity – without a heavy time commitment,” Peterson pointed out.
