The Printing Industries of America (PIA) was founded in 1887 right after the linotype typecasting machine came into practical use.
While the printing industry was doing quite well in the 1880s, it had its problems.
Two of its more serious problems were excessive competition and labor conflicts.

What's the most challenging aspect of print production?
It's reproducing color, of course!
In a print-perfect world, the color you produce for your customers is always perfect.
In reality, reproducing color accurately across product lines using various printing processes is unique and challenging.
The key to success is to have a foundational understanding of color management.
Without it, you're more likely to print bad color, increase rework, hurt your brand's image--or worst of all, hurt your customer's brand image.
