Back issues of New England Printer & Publisher
|
PINE acquired New England Printer & Publisher magazine in 1997 and has published it continuously since becoming only the fourth owner in the publication’s 72-year history. To more accurately reflect the continuous change in print manufacturing and the transformation of a diverse community of service providers, PINE changed the name of the publication in December 2009.
