As digital communication technologies change how we interact with information, many commentators question the future of print.

It uses a specific method to examine the iconography of materials, marks, and the various processes of printing. This provides a deep look into how media changes impact our cultural landscape. It is an essential resource for those studying the history of communication and the transition from traditional methods to modern digital formats.
