JUNE MEETING
June 26: Variable Data Printing (John Monson, Springfield Printing)
You may have heard of variable data printing, but what is it, exactly?
John Monson of Springfield Printing explains what it is, and more
importantly, how to use it. In addition, this presentation will cover
other 1 to 1 marketing topics such as personalized URL's. To learn
more about the equipment involved before the presentation, visit HP's
website and search for the Indigo 5000 Digital Press. (http://

make in serving the design community, and we're listening. We'd like
to know how we can better serve the community as a whole. Please help

encourange you to attend?

the week?
- Additional networking opportunities? What might you suggest?
- More interesting/relevant discussion or presentation topics?
What would you be interested in?
- Something else?
* In order to have a variety of topics and speakers, we need your help
in contacting interested professionals.

a discussion?

- Would you be willing to help make connections and schedule
presenters, discussions and/or events?
* VDP can make better use of its website, designvermont.org.

would you like to see posted?

we can bring recognition of our work to the community, improve our
