Duke Zimmerman
Duke Zimmerman’s dedication to the printing industry spans over four decades. In this time, Duke grew his Baltimore-based screen-printing company into an internationally recognized leader in specialized niche graphics. As Owner, President and CEO of Globe ScreenPrint, as well as its offshoot companies, Globe Transportation Graphics, BraillePrint.Com and Zimmerman Editions, Zimmerman attributes much of his success to his continuous adoption of breakthrough graphic technology. The unique market niches that Duke created have allowed him areas of graphic expertise in ADA Compliance, fine art serigraphy, tactile printing techniques, overlays, vandal resistant graphics, luminescent imaging, and vision control materials. The unique products that Duke’s companies developed and marketed—mostly involving printing on various types of plastics—are in use today on equipment and machinery around the world, in the most prestigious art galleries and collections, and beneath the fingertips of the sight-impaired on a daily basis.

Over the years, Duke’s passion for printing and graphics has allowed him to lead his industry in a multitude of ways. He has served two 3-year terms on the SGIA (Screen and Graphic Imaging Association) Board of Directors, on a variety of SGIA committees, as a panelist for SGIA Convention programs, on the Board of Trustees for the SPTF (Screen Printing Technical Foundation) and on the SPTF Digital Printing Committee. As a member of the Digital Printing Institute he also served on its joint SGIA/DPI board. Further, Duke participated as an active member of SPIRE (Screen Printing Industry Roundtable Exchange, CEO’s of the industry’s 20 largest graphic printers), as an active member of PIM (Printing Industries of Maryland) for 25 years, and gave testimony to the United States Senate on behalf of the Graphic Arts Legislative Council and SPAI.
