 Mark Vruno brings more than 20 years of print industry experience to GAM, to which he contributed as a free-lance writer before joining the staff on a full-time basis in late 2004. In that time, Vruno has worked closely with editor-in-chief Bill Esler to focus the magazine’s content on technology applications. He writes the popular “How’d They Print That?” column and coordinates feature coverage and editorial production. Throughout his versatile career, Vruno has worked directly for printing companies, as well as on behalf of printers (including Banta) and suppliers (such as Fujifilm) in marketing/public relations capacities.
