Blaine MacMillan

Blaine MacMillan shares why he is attending the PRINTING United Expo, what he hopes to learn, and what excites him about the upcoming event.

As a society, we tend to be looking down — but that doesn’t necessarily have to be a bad thing. Bring the graphics to the floor, and before you know it, you’ve got an opportunity to capture the unlimited potential of an untapped advertising market.

Blaine MacMillan of Cowan Graphics (Edmonton, Alberta) discusses conditions at his company and his approach to the wide-format graphics segment.

With bigger businesses, it’s easy to lose that close, family-like feel to the workplace. However, that won’t be happening on Blaine MacMillan’s watch. Even with more than 100 staff members under his supervision, he sends out a personalized birthday card to every single one of his employees. He’s done it every year for more than 30 years.

Cowan Graphics installed the Inca OnsetX3 HS from FUJIFILM North America Corporation, Graphic Systems Division. The addition allows the company to diversify product offerings including developing free standing display units, short run specialty packaging, and more.

The time has finally arrived — the PRINTING United Digital Experience went live yesterday with Graphics/Wide-Format — Hardware & Consumables. The event will run through Nov 12, bringing 14 individual days of content.
