Industry legend
rinting industry stalwart Norman J Field is retiring at the age of 86, after more
than 60 years in the industry. Founder of Norman J Field
Printing, Field has spent the past 18 years consulting for Victoria’s Eastern Press.
Field was the recipient of this year’s Industry Legend Award at the National Print Awards, and reflected on the monumental changes he’d seen over the course of his career in his acceptance speech. “Having spent 62 years in this exciting industry, I have witnessed incredible changes from my first introduction
to Gestetner machines using typewriters to cut stencils which could only produce typewritten copy with no images,” he
said. “I always embraced, and willingly experimented with, any new products which I believed kept the company ahead of the competition.
A million stories over 60 years: Norman J Field with partner Elly Wilson.
“After growing from two employees to 168 over 20
years, I am eternally grateful
to the wonderful people who gave the company such a great reputation, and I thank them for their expertise and friendship.”
Dave Chaplin, senior account manager at Eastern, said Field was a ground-breaker, amongst other firsts he was the first printer in Australia to produce 200-line screen print. 21

the benefits of the Neenah Coldenhove dye sub papers, and to understand the Aussie working practices.
Breukink says, “Digital textile printing offers tremendous opportunity, and for printers there are multiple applications to work with from the same machine, with the Neenah Coldenhove dye sub papers.
The five main sectors we have identified are soft signage, sportswear, hard substrates,
home furnishings and fashion. As we have assessed Australia it is clear the first three are ready for digital.” 21
