Hello

This newsletter contains many stories including some from our coverage of the WAN World Newspaper Congress in Hyderabad last week. There are articles about text book printers in Bihar and the first part of a standardisation related article on Spectral Readings by Paul Lindstrom.

In addition there are updates to both our Digital Printing Survey and the IPP XII Marketing Strategies for Direct Mail, Transpromo, and Digital Printing Conference in Mumbai on 19 December 2009. The conference is gaining further traction and the program is now taking final shape with presenters and panelists in place. India Post is also supporting the conference with the Chief Postmaster of Maharashtra MS Bali making a presentation in the Recognize and Reach session on Marketing Strategies.

IppStar’s survey of commercial and digital printers already has a good response. Please spare the three to four minutes it will take you to complete this survey online and you could win an Apple iPhone at the conference where the preliminary analysis will be shared.
