IF PRINT IS NOT DEAD, WHO'S KEEPING IT ALIVE?
Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter
Print isn't dead, but its craft and knowledge are increasingly rare in a digital-focused world. Studios like Make-Ready, Knust, Small Editions, and DTAN show print as an autonomous art form, blending skill, materials, and collaboration. Rising costs and education gaps make production harder, yet the tactile, limited-edition nature of print gives it renewed cultural value. Its future relies on small presses, knowledge-sharing, and emphasizing the unique physical and emotional experience of printed work.
