The Hashtags: #IPD21 and #PrintAgain  

In addition to using #IPD21, print fans can support this year’s “Print Again” theme by using the hashtag #PrintAgain.   

 #PrintAgain celebrates the revival of print in the marketing mix and emphasizes the positive results of using print, causing customers to use print again (and again, and again) to achieve communications objectives.

International Print Day is scheduled on Wednesdays to coincide with #PrintChat, Print Media Centr’s lively and informative Twitter discussion taking place every Wednesday at 4 pm, eastern time. Those interested in sharing ideas and expanding their networks on a regular basis should take #PrintChat for a spin during its special International Print Day edition on October 20.
