ACCENT / BLOG

Our Accent^® Opaque Portfolio Exchange may have taken an unexpected turn, but we’re along for the ride, and we hope you are, too!

First up in our series of conversations with the participating exchange artists: Sarah Dudek, an artist based in Somerville, Massachusetts who designs and screen prints art and home decor with a conceptual focus on food. The art that Sarah created for the Accent^® Opaque Portfolio Exchange features two of our favorite things: a giant pie in the middle of an orchard. We asked her about that, along with what she’s doing to nurture her creativity during these wild times. 

WHAT WOULD A MAIL-IN ELECTION IN 2020 MEAN FOR PRINT?

The upcoming presidential election is just one of the many facets of our daily lives that have been complicated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Even as some states reopen, social distancing protocols are still in place across the country, and many states are preparing for the November 3 election by expanding their vote-by-mail capacities. 

As many businesses in the print industry continue to face new challenges and uncertainties over the coming weeks and months, we hope the Digital Dish can be a source of consistent value to you and your digital print business.

If there’s one thing the Accent^® Opaque team loves, it’s events. We love them because it’s our chance to meet all of you — the artists, designers and printers who use Accent to make your projects stand out. You’re the kind of people who care about the brightness and smoothness and opacity of your paper because you can see the difference in the results. You’re the kind of people who know that where your paper comes from and how it’s made matter. You’re our kind of people!

To say that we’re living in unprecedented times would be an understatement. As more cities and states issue mandatory stay-at-home orders and close non-essential businesses, it seems that nearly all of us have already been affected by COVID-19 in some way — and so have the industries we rely on.
