What are the requirements/benefits of being a member of the APA? Is it for hobby printers? Thank you in advance for your reply.
Look over the different pages on the left sidebar of the home page. Some of these pages, especially the first one, will give you the information you are looking for.
And yes, it is mainly for hobby printers and small home-based printers. There are some of us, like myself that had careers in commercial letterpress that are now retired, with a home shop and looking to share their experience with newer printers looking to keep the craft alive.
Thank you, Lance. So great to hear there is place for me.
