Boot Camp for Print Designers is a much-needed new program designed to help graphic designers prepare their materials for commercial and digital printers. Boot Camp attendees will also learn more about the printing industry and where it is headed. It is a seminar for designers who know little about printers and how they work.

This three-hour seminar will provide practical insights about how to prepare files for printers. After attending this seminar, designers will be able to work more efficiently and cost-effectively on their employers' and customers' behalf. They will also learn about the market and how the Internet is allowing a new level of competition.

Designed specifically for newer graphic designers, Boot Camp for Print Designers is led by the expert printing and print buying powerhouses of RIT Professor Emeritus Frank Romano and PBI founder Margie Dana.

Our Instructors

As a former print buyer, publisher of the weekly Margie's Print Tips enewsletter, and popular industry speaker, Margie occupies a unique position in the industry. She travels extensively, speaking about how to work better with the printing industry. Her focus is on building bridges between print customers and their service providers. No one is better equipped to share this broad industry perspective.

Frank Romano, Professor Emeritus at RIT, has been studying graphic designers and how they design for print for 50 years. He has conducted extensive research on graphic design behaviors and trends, and his guidance on how to design printable files will help designers succeed. Author of over 45 books on printing and the graphic arts, Frank has a depth of experience that is truly unique.
