Features of the Sappi etc. microsite include a digitized library of collected works, resources and step-by-step guides on print, where readers will have the ability to download high-resolution PDF versions of original files—all in one easy to use place. Examples include a historic compilation of resources from the years of S.D. Warren and Potlach, Sappi's extensively illustrated @issue series, videos on Ideas that Matter, The Standard series, as well as a collection of content from our eQ platform on sustainability. As a part of the site, Daniel Dejan will also be publishing a new blog, Side Bar addressing relevant insight and technical tips on the art and science of printed communication. From color management to QR codes and augmented reality, the blog is intended to shed light on something new for readers to learn each time they visit the site.
Training is a key component of the Sappi etc. platform and Sappi hosts a series of widely-recognized workshops from some of the best technical experts in the industry throughout the year. Workshops are created for the novice to intermediate level graphic designer, art director, print buyer or production manager in mind, focusing on topics pertinent to their fields in easy-to-understand sessions. Dates and times of these workshops as well as Sappi's list of upcoming conferences, panel sessions, and events will now be accessible at the Sappi etc. calendar online.
As a value-added service, Sappi etc. technical representatives are available for consultation to assist with questions regarding paper and printing.

One of the hallmark resources of this knowledgebase is Sappi's Printer Tech Tips, a series of troubleshooting guides that has a reputation in the industry for providing useful, technical information.
