Raymond Weiss, vice president of elearning and certification at PRINTING United Alliance, comments: “This juried competition represents the best of the best among commercial hardware, software, consumables, and industrial and screen equipment, and judges are basing their decisions on objective criteria.
“Some of the categories were decided by tenths of a point—so fierce was the competition this year—and with outstanding entries like the Colorado and Arizona, the judges certainly had their work cut out for them.”
Duncan Smith, production direct sales director at Canon UK and Ireland, adds: “We’re delighted the Arizona and Colorado models and the Canon FLXfinish+ technology have been recognised by PRINTING United Alliance for their innovation.
“These awards exemplify our continued commitment to developing innovative technology and help print service providers find new ways of tackling the challenges and tapping into the opportunities of the growing large format graphics market.”
