I wanted to thank all of those who made at the CreativeBlvd.com event last night, at the Apple Store SoHo, here in NYC. The event was co-sponsored by BargainPrinting.com, Apple, Pantone, X-Rite and featured several great speakers.

We certainly enjoyed talking to all of those who stuck around until the end and asked questions.

If you haven’t made it, stay tuned and there should be more events coming up soon, in NYC and nationwide.
