‘Extra, Extra!’ used to be the popular call heard by newspaper sellers in city streets. For decades, the printing industry was the source of news and information for people everywhere. As technology has advanced, especially with the internet, people are reading printed newspapers and magazines less. Does this mean that pursuing a career along the Printing Technology pathway is heading down a dead-end path? Explain why or why not. What careers in the Printing Technology pathway do you think will continue?
While it is true that the printing industry has been impacted by the rise of digital media, it does not necessarily mean that pursuing a career in Printing Technology is a dead-end path. While traditional print media has declined, there are still many areas in which printing remains important. For example, packaging is an area in which printing technology is used extensively. Many products require packaging to be printed with information such as ingredients, usage instructions, and brand logos. Direct mail, such as flyers and catalogs, also still rely heavily on printed material, as do many educational and training materials.
Additionally, while printed newspapers and magazines may not be as popular as they once were, the demand for digital content continues to grow. This means that digital printing technologies, including large-format printers and high-speed digital presses, are increasingly being used to produce materials such as marketing collateral, signage, and even books.
Some careers in Printing Technology that are likely to continue include prepress technicians, press operators, finishing specialists, packaging designers, and multi-channel integration experts. These roles are likely to involve a mix of traditional and digital printing technologies, making it important for professionals in this field to stay current with advances in the industry.
