For those that attended drupa for most of the first half of May, the month has probably seemed to fly by. Given that drupa is one of the largest print shows in the world, we felt it only appropriate to take a look back this week now that the show has closed. In addition to drupa news, we continue our look at Digital Mailbox Services, emerging digital printing technology, one-to-one messaging and the consequences of the Royal Mail's hike in postal rates.

Also, be sure to check out our breaking news featuring a new Crawford Technologies partner announcement. We also have a webinar feature that will allow you to view a replay of the Document and Mailing Systems Technology Magazine webinar on Multi-Channel Communications and Digital Mailbox Services.
