I Print

Happy International Print Day!

How has print been an important part of your life? Your job? Your creativity?

Print has been a part of my life for almost 20 years! Wow! Since I was a customer of BPI's (then Boaz Printing) in 1999 while interning, I first met my now colleague, Wendy, as she was our account rep. I loved learning from her as a printing rep and seeing how marketing materials came to life in print. Back then, she brought proofs (bluelines and matchprints output from film) for us to review before plates were created for going to press. But it wasn't until I started working at BPI in 2001 that I learned how those proofs were actually created. Seeing how our files were processed into film was really interesting to me and gave me a deeper understanding of CMYK. That's when I knew I had found not only my job, but my career in the world of print.

Wendy and myself at our BPI open house in 2016, 17 years later.

Now print isn't all about film. It's about growing and evolving as our customers' needs have changed. Its' about streamlining orders through our storefront. It's about helping customers with fulfillment and distribution of their marketing materials and POP to their sales teams, dealer networks, distributors and multiple locations. It's about wide format printing and all the substrates and hardware options available to help showcase your print media.

There are so many ways print has blessed and enriched my professional and personal life, but it has brought me to love what I do and enjoy working with a diverse customer base and help launch their creativity into a beautiful printed product. That's why today, I celebrate International Day of Print! How can BPI help with your next project?

Until next time...Elizabeth
