Should student "go digital?"
July 8, 2008

Question: I am graduating from a Graphic Arts program next year. Should I be considering a firm that specializes in digital printing?

Answer: Absolutely. The future is bright, very bright for many types of digital prining. Black-and-white as well as full-color digital is gaining a significant part of the industry. Is it better, worse, faster, slower, cheaper, more expensive? Yes to all of those. The key is the application. My advice to you at this point is to learn the applications and where digital and conventional compliment each other.

I would say "absolutely," but it's hard nowadays to find a printer that is not "digital" in some form. (Admittedly, that was too many quotation marks for one sentence.) What I am trying to say is, Mr. Prince is right. And, keep your options open. Accept interviews at different places with different kinds of operations before you decide which fits your love best.
