Inspecting more than 480 printed pieces over the course of a single day is an exhausting experience. Nevertheless, the judges of the In-Print 2013 contest managed to do just that on March 11, when they gathered at IPMA headquarters in Kearney, Mo., just outside of Kansas City. As a result of their efforts, 34 different in-plants will be a whole lot happier when they learn they won awards in the only national printing contest exclusively for in-plants.
