DIGITAL digest 12/00

A friend let me know that the director of research position was open at GATF. As I looked at the job description and thought about GATF as an organization, more and more it seemed like a really good fit for me. Even though GATF conducts studies and offers training workshops and conferences on digital equipment and workflows, I feel it could step up its efforts. With my experience in the digital side of printing, I hope to help rectify that situation by increasing the emphasis on some of the digital workflow issues and technologies coming at our industry. The existing staff is very knowledgeable about, and has years of experiencing dealing with, the ink-on-paper part of the process. They will continue to work hard in those areas, but hopefully we will be able to become a similarly strong resource in the digital arena.
