From the Editor: Rewarding Quality

By Bob Neubauer

I JUST got back from Oklahoma City, where I supervised the judging of the In-Print 2007 contest, a partnership between IPG and the In-plant Printing and Mailing Association (IPMA). As always, it was an educational experience.

In-plants are tackling some complicated projects, and our five judges were very impressed. Still, it’s always sad to watch some of the most ambitious submissions get eliminated due to poor folds or missing dots in solid areas. Among the most common flaws were color variations from page to page, particularly noticeable on tabs and crossovers. (More than once a judge was heard to utter, “someone needs to shoot the designer.”)
