    Quality printed books and magazines will have a place for a long time yet. I've noticed that quite a few mags are using more spot colours, specialty finishes and better stocks than they did 5 years ago. The quality of new magazines in terms of print, creative and editorial seems to be better as well.

    Time sensitive news is much better suited to the digital medium and when larger screens reach that 300dpi level we will truly start to see the death of the daily paper, but I feel it will take 10–15 years for the transition to kill most papers off.

    • A lot of print, like everything else is shipped to the far east to print 'cos it's far cheaper and the quality can be better...robulation
    • Only problem is...they have completely different ways of doing things e.g. a cutter marked with magentarobulation
    • doesn't mean shit...and will probably get printed unless you speak to them beforehandrobulation
    • All this has nothing to do with the argument in general. Of course things will be printed somewhere cheaply.Amicus
