HP to honor Print Excellence at Drupa

Hewlett-Packard (HP) has issued a call for entries for its first HP Print Excellence Awards, a new worldwide competition honoring graphic arts printing produced on HP Indigo, Designjet, Inkjet Web Press and Scitex systems.

An international panel of print experts will select winners in 16 categories of commercial print, wide-format graphics and label and packaging applications. In addition to evaluating print quality, the HP Print Excellence Awards also will recognize innovative examples of environmentally responsible printing.

The competition unifies several existing regional and worldwide HP print quality awards into a single, comprehensive program.

Christopher Morgan, senior vice president of HP’s Graphics Solutions business, said: ‘The HP Print Excellence Awards will show how customers fully express their ingenuity, creativity and skill using HP solutions. We look forward to seeing how our customers are advancing the analog to digital transformation and achieving new levels of color quality and innovation.’
 
The HP Print Excellence Awards are free to enter. HP graphic arts customers can download entry details and forms here.

Entries are due by March 15, 2012. Winners will be announced at an invitation-only gala event held during Drupa 2012, in Düsseldorf, Germany next May. Select entries will be on display at HP’s stand at Drupa, in hall 4.
