Sappi Calls for 2010 Printers of the Year Entries
Printing awards program recognizes technical craftsmanship of printed pieces
Source: Sappi Fine Paper -- Graphic Arts Online, January 14, 2010
Sappi's Printers of the Year awards are regarded as the world's most respected accolade of excellence in printing.
Judged by a panel of highly qualified independent judges, to ensure impartiality and the broadest spectrum of technical expertise in print, each entry is measured on the technical craftsmanship exhibited-dot sharpness, ink density, registration, sheet size, paper weight, screen ruling, stitching and die cutting-as well as overall appearance, quality of finishing and general difficulty of the print job.
Truly global, the competition is held in four different regions around the world. The African, North American, European and Sappi Trading Region gold finalists then proceed to the international competition where they compete in up to ten categories.
Deadline:
All entries for Sappi's North American Printers of the Year awards must be received no later than February 12, 2010. (Please note the deadline has been extended from the original date of
January 31, 2010).
