The Sappi Printers of the Year awards competition recognizes print excellence and innovation for work produced on Sappi papers. More than 2,000 entries were submitted and Advanced Color Graphics won a Silver Award for the Mid-Atlantic Region in the brochures category. The winning entry was the French Leave brochure printed on Sappi Strobe Gloss paper. The brochure, full of gorgeous island images, featured a flysheet printed with pastel ink, strike-through varnish with aqueous coating, and UV coating on the cover.
All entries were judged on overall impact of the piece; degree of difficulty in printing techniques; and technical excellence. A panel of four judges, selected from recognized print institutions and trade professions, ensured the highest possible standards and integrity.
Dennis Devlin of Advanced Color Graphics attended the prestigious award ceremony in Seattle, Washington on May 20, 2006, at historic landmark, Union Station. The 2006 competition marked the 10th annual celebration of Sappi's North American Printers of the Year awards. |
