This time last week, we were enjoying the last day of PRINTING United Alliance Expo, preparing to say goodbye to Las Vegas.

I wanted to reach out and thank our friends at Quad for sending us off in style.
Thanks to Bridget Johnson Senglaub and Bryant, we kicked off the conference with our best foot forward.

Here are a few photos of us during our first day of fun at Printing United Expo.

Stay tuned for the full recap of our trip!

Awesome work GCOM!

It’s summer – but that doesn’t mean GCOM is on vacation!
Face front, true believers! GCOM was proud to host comic-book production sessions for UW-Stout Polytechnic’s STEAM Summer Camp group Comics Studio: From Idea to Print. In coordination with the School of Art and Design’s Ben Hinz, the June events saw groups of middle- and high-school artists create comics from start to finish: developing a story, illustrating a comic book page, digitally scanning their original art, editing colors for output, and ultimately printing, binding, and trimming their finished books to size.

A super-big thanks goes out to GCOM heroes Dan Hendrickson and Chad Nyseth for collaborating to make the camps possible, and to each visiting camper who got hands-on in true UW-Stout Polytechnic fashion to create their personal comic anthologies! Excelsior!

UW-Stout's Graphic Communications instructors welcomed 150 enthusiastic Bloomer Middle School students to our GCOM print-production labs on Friday, May 15.

After a brief intro about lab safety, the fifth graders learned behind-the-scenes printing processes related to making memo pads, custom-cut stickers, and softcover notebooks.

Each middle schooler took a turn operating our book binding machine and everyone left the GCOM labs with handfuls of Bloomer-themed swag.

The career-exploration visit was coordinated by UW-Stout’s Office of Educational Pathways & Outreach.
