What better place to learn about the Swiss graphic arts industry then in Scheveningen, The Netherlands! Near The Hague and along the North Sea, we met with the Markzware Swiss distributor for Q2ID, FlightCheck, MarkzTools and PDF2DTP! And with a man who is always a pleasure to talk with, Karsten Risseeuw of Kursiv Software , Switzerland. He has a lot of knowledge about the Swiss print media, publishing, design and photography sectors, loosely called "graphic arts." Not only does he sell InDesign plugins and variable data printing solutions, but Karsten also creates FileMaker databases for graphic designers, printers or publishing houses.
