10 Celebrate National Metric Day on OCTOBER 10. Perhaps you recall grade school films such as “Here Comes the Metric System!” Well, it never quite fully arrived in the US, so today, pop a two-liter — hey, we use that — and toast meters, celsius, etc.

19-21 Printing United takes place OCTOBER 19-21 in Las Vegas. Check out what’s new in print graphics and drop by to say “hi” at the Signs of the Times booth (#C11335).
