About Who's Up
PIWorld is providing an open mike for members of the graphic arts community, along with our own staff people at times, to take a stand, share an observation or just relay an item of interest.
We will be coming up with our own choices of people to invite to be "Who's Up Next," but interested parties are also encouraged to email a topic and short description of a post (text, video or audio) they would like to submit for consideration to webeditorpi@napco.com.
The views expressed are those of the individual contributor and not Printing Impressions / PIWorld.
