2000 Greater Cincinnati Printing Week
Printing Week will be held January 23-29, 2000. This annual event has been observed for over 30 years in Cincinnati and is part of International Printing Week.
The programs for this special week are the result of the hard working efforts of fifteen fellow graphic arts professionals who make up The Greater Cincinnati Printing Week Council. The Council has traditionally consisted of representatives from the Cincinnati Litho Club, Cincinnati Club of Printing House Craftsmen, International Publishing Management Association, Silkscreen International and Printing Industries Association, Serving Northern Kentucky and Ohio.
Greater Cincinnati Printing Week is an opportunity to learn more about our industry, to meet old and new friends and to become professionally involved in a week-long celebration that benefits all of us. You'll come away from the events with a sense of pride and excitement as you realize our efforts are paying off and we are attracting more young people to careers in the graphic arts industry. All of us are working in a truly creative and very worthwhile profession. Did you realize that Southwestern Ohio is the nation's 10th largest printing industry market?
Our week-long celebration begins with "Take a Printer To Lunch" on Tuesday, followed by the Bier Stube on Wednesday evening and capped off with the Banquet on Saturday evening. Plan now to join us in celebrating 2000 Greater Cincinnati Printing Week.
