Over the years I have devoted many thousands of hours to reading, reviewing and research as the Technology and Trends Editor of American Printer magazine, the Technology Editor of Graphic Arts Monthly,  and as the Editor of Technology Watch newsletter now for over 35 years. This Publishing section chronicles a representative sample of some of this work.  The magazine knowledge was transfered to readers free of charge as part of my knowledge sharing efforts.  Click here to learn about publishing.

Publishing, at its beginning, was simply the distribution of printed pages and books. Today, information is published digitally on the modern extension of the printing press, the internet. Websites such as this one post information, magazines and books for immediate distribution worldwide. However, one of the many benefits of print publishing is that it physically fixes the content to the printed page, where the ideas can be read and reviewed a long time later. Because decades have passed since I wrote and published some of these pieces, this Publishing section affords me the opportunity to demonstrate my predictive skills.

Technical Papers provides selected materials from my presentation library. The papers are easy to understand and have practical, every-day applications in today’s printing and publishing world.

For more than 40 years, Technology Watch Newsletter has delivered farsighted evaluations and projections focusing on technology development in the computer, telecommunications, office products, graphic arts and photographic industries. Each issue covers emerging technologies most likely to impact industry, giving unbiased assessments not influenced by vendors or manufacturers.

Between November 1980 and October 2012, Technology Watch published over 485 newsbreaking stories, many providing up to a 20 year lead-time benefiting subscribers. Many technologies used today were first described years ago in Technology Watch, whose international base of subscribers reads like a Who’s Who of the imaging industry.

In 1978 I taught my first postgraduate continuing engineering course at The George Washington University School of Engineering and Applied Science. Designated course 547, it was the first credit course on digital printing. Click here to see the course outline. Over the four years that I taught the course, it was attended by more than 900 students worldwide. It would be decades before another college accredited course addressed the subject.

In 1981, the University teamed me with Asher Ende to jointly teach a course on the technological and legal impacts of telecommunications as applied to print. Click here to see the course outline. Covering topics the legal aspects of the electronic transmission and printing of mail and other topics, course 689 was very successful, attracting an international audience of students from both government and industry.

Leading visionaries in printing and publishing gathered in Washington, D.C. for the World Conference on Electronic Printing and Publishing. Attendance was so large that the conference venue had to be moved to the Lisner Auditorium of The George Washington University. The participants, working in research, private industry, and government, shared a common interest in the future of electronic printing and publishing.

The best and brightest print technology scientists spoke on developments in electronic imaging and printing. Representatives of government agencies explored the potential benefits of the new and forthcoming technologies. Presenters gave dramatic on-stage demonstrations of new technologies and invited audience members to try out the equipment for themselves during breaks, an invitation many accepted.

Coinciding with the conference was The Second International Electronic Printing Art Exhibition, at which state-of-the-art imaging was pushed to creative limits. Transcripts are available of conference presentations.
