Carlstadt, NJ
- November 02, 2006 -- The Southern Newspaper Publishers Association (SNPA) on October 17, 2006 recognized excellence in newspaper printing at its Annual Convention. "US Ink congratulates all of the SNPA print quality award winners and we were pleased to see so many of US Ink's customers place first in their respective circulation categories. We are proud of our long-term partnership with these quality-conscious newspapers," said Greg Lawson, president, US Ink.
Five out of the five first-place awards in the SNPA 2006 Print Quality Contest went to newspapers that use US Ink products. Overall, there were sixteen award winners and ten were US Ink customers. "As color capacity has increased in recent years so has the print expectation of advertisers and readers. US Ink enjoys working with these publications because we share a common goal of maintaining and growing both advertisers and readers," noted Denny Orewiler, vice president Southwest Region for US Ink.
Newspapers were judged in five circulation categories: under 25,000; 25,001 to 50,000; 50,001 to 100,000; 100,001 to 250,000 and over 250,000. Judges evaluated black ink laydown, color ink laydown, color registration, halftone quality, page alignment and overall print appearance.
