Seybold Report

Founded in the 1970s by John Seybold, the Seybold Report (ISSN: 1533-9211) is a newsletter with a long history and a strong tradition of serving its readers by delivering detailed and objective information and reviews of graphic arts technology, as well as informed and intelligent commentary about such technology. In June 2010, the Joss Group, a publishing and consulting company located in Pennsylvania, acquired the newsletter from Beard Group, a publisher headquartered near Washington DC.

Seybold Report subscribers are graphic arts professionals and executives around the world. In addition, analysts, researchers, professors, students, and others subscribe. If your job concerns tracking, researching, purchasing, or studying technology used in the graphic arts, you will profit from a subscription to the Seybold Report!

The Seybold Report is a paid newsletter published by the Joss Group twice a month (during the second and fourth weeks of each month). Subscribers receive an e-mail with a download link to access the PDF of the issue.

The cost of a 24-issue, 12-month subscription is $499 US$. This is an individual subscription, so please do not share the issue with others. No refunds will be made after the first two issues of a subscription have been served.

Please be aware there is an online scam Web site pretending to be the Seybold Report. They have even stolen our ISSN! We have noted this crime on the home page of the site. This is not our company. This is not our newsletter. It is an outrageous scam. Do not give them money, and please pass the word along.

Digital Publishing Report

Launched in May 2012, the Digital Publishing Report (ISSN: 2169-1150) is a monthly newsletter and is for publishing and corporate executives who want to read and learn about topics, tools, techniques, and strategies for and everywhere publishing anywhere that is not just on paper.

Such activities go by many names these days: multi-channel publishing, apps publishing, mobile publishing, and so forth. However, what all these venues for content delivery have in common is two things: the work is publishing and the venue is digital. Thus, the name and the scope of the Digital Publishing Report.

In this newsletter we talk about the technology, techniques, strategies, and plans publishers are using to develop their digital publishing efforts. We cover e-books, apps, mobile, and more--not just the how, but also the why. When we talk about publishing, by the way, we mean more than books, magazines, and newspapers. We also mean catalogs, corporate publishing, and even publishing for education and training. Each issue contains two or three in-depth feature articles and several news stories and is 12 to 16 pages in length.

The cost of a 12-issue, 12-month subscription is $399 US$. This is an individual subscription, so please do not share the issue with others. No refunds will be made after the first two issues of a subscription have been served.

Specialty Printing Report

For example, we talk about textile printing, decorative printing, imaging on cans and bottles and all kinds of packaging, security printing, and even 3-D printing.

In each issue of the Specialty Printing Report newsletter we present the latest news about companies, technologies, and products used for this type of printing. Each issue is 12 to 16 pages long, and we include one or two major news stories, news briefs, and links to even more news.
