HELP BUILD THE FUTURE PRINT WORKFORCE THROUGH PRINT[ED]
thINK, an independent community of Canon inkjet customers, has teamed up with Canon to help the development of the future workforce by supporting the Print[ED] program, which is designed to provide accredited instruction to high school print and graphics programs throughout the United States.
