Pro-imaging.org Becomes First Group Sponsor of AaI&A's Digital Print Research Program

Pro Imaging members will see this sponsorship logo on the AaI&A homepage when they log in to the AaI&A website.

I'm pleased to announce that each and every member of Pro-Imaging.org now has full membership rights in the Aardenburg Imaging & Archives digital print research program. Pro Imaging is an international group of full time professional photographers based in thirty or so countries. Launched in 2004 by two photographers based in the UK it provides a private forum for the discussion of all aspects of running and developing the members businesses, who freely give advice and support to one anther on every topic in a mutual spirit of community 24/7.

Pro Imaging runs high profile campaigns in support of all photographers, and developed the Bill of Rights for fair photo competitions in 2008. Another campaign is against the passing of the Orphan Works Bill through U.S. Congress.

Group Sponsorship plans will help AaI&A to grow more steadily and provide our comprehensive test results to a much larger audience while at the same time providing very favorable subscription rates for other institutions, professional organizations, or even companies that want to give their patrons, members, or customers full access to the AaI&A digital print research. I especially wish to thank Richard Kenward of Pro Imaging for his foresight and vision in bringing AaI&A and Pro Imaging together in this new initiative and for his strong personal belief in the value of AaI&A's independent research on the print permanence of modern digital print media.
