Sorry, print buyers only.

Are you a print buyer?
That's how I started out.

Margie Dana, Founder, Boston Print BuyersFrom years of writing my weekly Print Tips column, I know what buyers need from printers - and what printers need from buyers.

No matter where you live and work, Boston Print Buyers will benefit you. Check out our next event. I hope you'll join us - we always have fun! Send me an email with your comments & questions. I'm all ears.

In many ways, BPB has helped fueled my quest to look beyond today and to identify trends & technology scenarios for tomorrow, that we have tried to promote here at Blue Cross Blue Shield. From successfully guiding BCBSMA to adopt VDP several years ago, to introducing & implementing Virtual Proofing in 2006-07, many of these such initiatives were initially forged as a result of inspiration from various BPB Dinner presentations or Conferences. I value the PBI/BPB deeply and I believe in what “you” are doing for our industry, because my team is proof of the value that you have provided (Print Buyers) over the years.
