OK, you've been looking forward all Spring to the Summer. Lazy days at the pool, beach, partially reflective tar covered roof, whatever. Then, about two weeks in, reality strikes. You're just as busy in June, July and August as you were when St. Patrick, taxes or the May pole demanded your attention. Don't you wish you could go back to a simple, halcyon time, when all you had to worry about was Summer Camp?

Not very easy in this economic climate, that's for sure. So, why don't you have your Camp, and learn, too? IMI has a solution for you--their Digital Printing Summer Camp 2009. Want to find out how digtal printing--with short runs, customized materials, just-in-time printing, sustainability-friendly materials and use cycles--will lead printing into the mobile, savvy, Gen-W ("whatever!") future? And kick your feet in a lake in Maine?

Give it a go (and read the attachment below--see just above "Add a Comment"--to find out more).

Is this a pitch for IMI? Absolutely. I've attended an IMI event in the past. It's a good thing. You will get a big head!
