Readers' Choice Top Product Award Winners Receive Accolades at PRINT 17
The Printing News team doles out it's prestigious Readers' Choice Top Product Awards while attending PRINT 17 in Chicago.
PRINT 17 proved to be another stellar exposition with 20,000 people from the graphic communications industry gathering at McCormick Place in Chicago for educational events, networking, and a close look at today's latest technologies in printing.
Printing News took this opportunity of having so many wonderful products and the people who all make them possible in one location and presented awards to the winners of our 2017 Readers' Choice Top Products Awards.
The annual Printing News Readers’ Choice Top Products Awards competition was conducted in mid-2017. The goal was to gather opinions from print service providers about what they consider to be the most significant products introduced to the commercial printing industry over the last 15 months.
To be considered for these awards, a product had to be released, commercially available, and shipping between January 1, 2016 and March 31, 2017. Voting was open to all print service providers worldwide from June 26 through July 25, 2017.
