An Upbeat Graph Expo

And, after last year's big-ticket event, PRINT 01, was brought to a halt by the September 11 terrorist attacks, it was reassuring to see crowded exhibit areas and overflowing equipment demos this year.

David Poulos, GASC director of communications, feels there was a lot to be thankful for in 2002.

"We were on a par with 2000," he says, explaining that the success of the show was due to more than just solid attendance. Poulos claims that, according to vendors, the quality of new sales leads was also much higher than expected.
