The neutral zone Dscoop creates is borne of the awareness that, as another printer put it, "There's more business to be had than any one of us can possibly handle. But, helping each other get more business helps all of us."

For four years now, I've had the opportunity to sit in Dscoop sessions and talk with business owners, press operators and execs from partner companies, all of whom agree that Dscoop is the not-to-be-missed conference of the year. Many member companies bring multiple employees, each charged with learning all they can about a specific area, which they can then share back at the plant. That's not an inexpensive tactic, but business owners say it returns big dividends as knowledge is shared and new practices are put into place.
