PI Mourns Passing of Mark Smith

PHILADELPHIA—It is with deep regret that North American Publishing Co. (NAPCO), the parent of Printing Impressions magazine, reports the passing of Mark Smith, longtime technology editor for the magazine. Smith, 51, died Monday from complications stemming from a six-month bout with cancer.

Born in Illinois and a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Mark spent 10 years with American Printer magazine in Chicago, where he became managing editor. He later served as Midwest editor for Micro Publishing News and also managed Web sites for Cygnus Publishing.
