The Printing & Imaging Association of Georgia (PIAG) has announced that The Other Printer, Inc. of Woodstock is an award winner in the 2014 Print Excellence Competition. The announcement was made August 15th during ImPRESS 2014: Showcase & Print Celebration, held at King Plow Arts Center in Atlanta with nearly 500 industry professionals in attendance. PIAG’s Print Excellence Competition is one of the largest state printing competitions in the nation. This year, it attracted nearly 500 entries from 29 printing and imaging companies and graphic arts high schools from across the state.
The Other Printer, Inc. won eight Best of Category Awards and two Awards of Excellence. Only one Best of Category and one or more Awards of Excellence may be given in each category. A panel of two out of state judges with extensive experience in printing and print production was brought in to examine the work. Each entry was judged on its own merit in a category with similar printed pieces. The judging criteria included: registration, clarity and neatness, sharpness of halftones and line drawings, richness and tonal qualities of color, paper and ink selection, ink coverage, difficulty of printing, effective contrast or softness, overall visual impact and bindery.
