Just kidding, there is Solutions Journal, great, very technical and teaches the proper techniques and the ink transfer process in great detail. Impressions Magazine is more of a broad scope mag that does have some technical information but it's more general in nature but I still enjoy reading Impressions. Screenweb is another online source that I've taken advantage of when I have time to read. There is a huge archive of old articles and they do get technical and can also cover just the basics, depends on the author and subject. There is another publication from Europe that I came across a few weeks ago called images-magazine.com and I recognized a name there. He's a bright Engish chap named Will Pearson and he is very knowledgeable on the print process and the mechanical aspects of the automatic press.

There is a wealth of knowledge out there to take advantage of that it doesn't make sense that so many printers struggle and don't understand the print process fully. Enjoy all of them and take notes, or at the very least save the links or articles to your hard drive to always have and look back on. They are also great to share with your employees and help greatly in explaining why or how things are done.

LOL

Thanks bro; I appreciate it! Is it just me, or do others still enjoy reading a hardcopy mag?

I love the hardcopy, I just haven't had my hands on one in about 4 years. I got to see some really old mags from the early 90's a while back and it was awesome to see all the adds for the old machines in there.
