In fact, Basore believes that the WOA and the web printing industry are in the midst of a second golden age. "Our first was in the late '50s and '60s when we took over letterpress. Now, we are in another golden age. The new technologies available are just phenomenal," he adds.

Today, the WOA is known worldwide for its world-class conference, its vendor advisory board, the honorary Web Offset Society and its smaller sister association, the WOA coldset association.
