Romano writes new chapter on future of print

Frank Romano focuses on future of print in new book launched at IPEX.

The Future of Print in the 21st Century by Frank Romano will debut at Kodak’s Ipex stand, 09-E320. Not surprisingly, the book was produced using a range of KODAK Solutions, from the new Kodak Prosper Press Platform and Kodak Nexpress SE Digital Production Color Press to the Kodak Versamark VL Series Printing System, Kodak Digimaster Digital Production System, and new Kodak Trillian SP Plates, all driven by the Kodak Prinergy Workflow System.

Romano, (pictured) whose career in the printing and publishing industries has spanned 50 years, will appear for two special sessions in the K-Zone at Kodak’s Ipex stand. At 4 pm. Tuesday, May 18 and Thursday, May 20, Romano will be interviewed to discuss the current status of the print industry; how new technologies are changing how print is regarded, produced and used; and why he thinks print is as vibrant and meaningful today as ever.

Ipex visitors are invited to attend either of Romano’s K-Zone sessions, meet the author, and receive a complimentary signed copy of the new book. The book provides an engaging history of print, the media and advertising industries that have been shaped by it, and the new technologies that are changing all the rules.

“The printing industry is so exciting because it is constantly changing,” said Romano. “It’s changed more in the last 20 years than in the previous 600 years. We are very fortunate to be part of this industry and witness the digital transformation that is taking place today.”
