First of all, membership is free! We require that everyone join as a member. Membership allows us to monitor postings to our site so that the responses remain civil and non-commercial. We also need to understand our membership base. We use the information that you provide to shape the content of the community to our members' knowledge and buying levels. In addition, membership allows us to accurately track users of the site. Since the solutions are totally free to you (except any purchases that you may make from our bookstore and resource center), we have elected to have sponsors fund our community. While we always attempt to remain impartial in our educational content, our sponsors need to know how many live bodies are in our community!

What Print Buyers Online.com doesn't offer

PBO does not engage in any brokering of print projects or matchmaking between buyers and printers, so there is no hidden agenda. We are funded by a few industry leaders that see the value in educating print buyers and production professionals.
