Just 25 years ago, every printed matter and catalog had to be designed by graphic designers, typeset by typesetters, illustrated by photographers, produced by repro houses, and printed by commercial printers. No customer could bypass this chain of trained professionals. Printing was a monopoly of the printing industry. Today, every household has computers and printers, and anyone can typeset, design, illustrate, and print documents. With breathtaking speed, what was once a monopoly has become a technology accessible to everyone. Kurt K. Wolf has witnessed this development for thirty years as an editor of the trade magazine "Deutscher Drucker," where he had the privilege of meeting the key players and companies personally. This book describes how the graphic arts industry has evolved from the "black art" to a high-tech industry.
