To help the industry learn and benefit during the difficult times of the lockdown, Offset Printers’ Association (OPA) utilised the expertise of its team to educate printers through a series of daily webinars and other activities. During the entire period, OPA organised 27 webinars and seven web meetings, besides the regular executive and general board meetings. The association invited 106 expert panellists to present their views on various topics pertaining to the challenges within the industry.
