Cygnus has well-known and highly regarded magazines serving the primary target segments in the printing market. Cygnus Printing segment, known as Cygnus Graphics Media, is a nationally circulated group of print and graphic titles that reach more than 75,000 influential professionals in Print, Digital, E-Mail and E-newsletters in the major niche sectors of the graphic communications industry.

 

MyPrintResource.com, the portal website for Cygnus Graphics Media, has become an essential tool for advertisers who want to connect with professionals seeking regularly updated information specific to the print and graphics industry. The site has become interactive windows into what readers within this industry are doing, thinking, discussing, buying, and selling, every business day.

 

Brands include Quick Printing, Printing News, Wide-Format Imaging and MyPrintResource.com . Each is a respected content platform of record in the printing segment.  Every brand in the group serves its readers with the same goal:  to provide the subscribers with information vital to the success of their business.  Editors who are experts in the print and graphics field cover this important marketplace, delivering focused news, features, columns, technology reports, product updates, political and economic analysis, and other must-read content in every issue.

 

With the continuing contraction of commercial printers in the U.S. and NAICS as well as Industry Analysts reporting the number of output providers at 40,000, we have decided in 2012 to combine the circulation of Quick Printing, Printing News & Wide-Format Imaging .  In print, we will serve the market with Quick Printing & Printing News content combined under the Quick Printing title and deliver the Wide-Format Imaging content as a separate supplement to Quick Printing .  On the web, MyPrintResource.com will continue to be our joint portal site for the entire market.  This is great news for our advertisers and readers as we will be delivering more content to a wider audience and opening up avenues for our advertisers not previously available.

 

Eliminating duplicated readers, we will penetrate the entire commercial printing market, digital color and sign markets enabling advertisers to reach all commercial printing and sign shops and further expand exposure opportunities with our digital issues.
