IRgA's new logo
Thank you for your interest in membership in the International Reprographic Association!
The association, formerly called the Association of Printing & Data Solutions Professionals (APDSP), is made up of businesses that create and manage large-format documents, particularly for the AEC field. Members receive benefits in five primary categories:
Education: IRgA sponsors regular webinars on key topics of interest to large-format imaging professionals. These webinars provide actionable information to help our members become more profitable. An extensive collection of recorded webinars are available to all members, on topics ranging from how to profit with graphics printing to how to grow via acquisition. IRgA also subsidizes members who wish to earn their Construction Document Technology certification from the Construction Specifications Institute. And our in-person workshops are packed with in-person training sessions on timely topics.
Networking: IRgA offers a variety of networking opportunities, including in-person workshops with social events; Zoom networking events and discussions on current issues; regular sponsored trips to trade shows in Europe; and the IRgA Network, a group of members who welcome in-person visits from other members.
Reports: IRgA regularly researches and writes reports on issues of interest to the reprographics industry. Recent reports include a Financial Benchmarking Study for the Reprographics Industry, which provided detailed information and key financial ratios for reprographics firms; and the IRgA Back-End Repro Software Report, which provided comparison information for all of the common repro management software programs.
Sign and Document Libraries: IRgA members have access to two key repositories: The IRgA Documents Library, which includes contracts, forms, checklists and other documents donated by various members and ready for quick adoption; and the Sign Template Library, which includes dozens of templates for signage that can be conveniently customized and printed.
Marketing: IRgA provides bona fide leads to members through its Google Ad marketing programs that target potential customers in the geographies of participating members. The association also invests heavily in advertising and promotions to the AEC community to encourage architects, builders, and others to use the services of IRgA members. The advertisements and promotions encourage those prospective customers to use the IRgA online member directory to find service providers.
