Introduction of New Technological Developments into the Graphic Communications Industries

There have been many new technological developments in the graphic communications industry in the past several years. Many technological innovations require considerable time before they are generally accepted and universally used by the various segments of the industry. Much has been said about the future of graphic communications at trade association meetings such as those conducted annually by TAGA, PERI, GATF, GRI, the Research and Engineering Council etc. Likewise the various trade publications which are related to the graphic communications industry have presented interesting factual projections of the future, based on sound technological forecasts. These forecasts influence planners, or certainly should do so yet with the impact that many technological developments have on human accommodation physical facilities and monetary considerations the need for an orderly approach to the problems in the form of planned research and development becomes at once apparent.
