PRINT 13 was a good event-but more like a Graph Expo than a PRINT show. That was a comment I heard from two veteran exhibitors during the show, which took place Sept. 8-12 in Chicago. The show attracted a respectable 24,695 participants (including exhibitors and attendees); 16,728 were actual verified attendee/buyers. I generally found show floor traffic decent. Anecdotal evidence revealed respectable international participation, with a good showing from Latin America. When I reflected that the show used to sprawl across McCormick Place's North and South halls and occasionally up a ramp into the Lakeside Center, one of my journalist friends gently chided me, "You're thinking of PRINT 97. That was 16 years ago!"
