Hello

This edition of IPP Online brings you two stories from our European Corespondent Ron Augustin. While the first story surveys the annual Frankfurt book event at which China was the partner country this time, his second article looks at the FBF’s focus on comics that began ten years ago. Other stories on our website that are linked to this weekly newsletter include another in our Women in Print series by Aakriti Agarwal.

Ian Ramsden writes about innovation and transformation for offset printers in The Future of Print in India. He makes a compelling case for printers to use both the Internet and Digital Printing alongside their traditional offset strengths in order to become complete marketing service providers. Ramsden will of course be one of the main presenters and moderators at the IPPXII Conference in Mumbai on 19 December 2009. The one-day conference will address Market ing Strategies for Direct Mail, Transpromo and Digital Printing. You can find our more about this event at www.ippstar.org.
