VS Hariharan, vice president of Graphic Solutions Business, HP Imaging and Printing Group, Asia Pacific and Japan says, “Last year’s awards programme attracted more than 200 submissions from 12 countries in Asia Pacific. This year we expect even greater participation with the addition of four new categories.”
Hariharan continues, “Through the HP Digital Print Awards, we recognise the extraordinary efforts of the top HP Indigo printers and packagers in the region, and use the programme to share best practices to inspire others in the region.”
The Awards will be judged by a team of internationally qualified industry leaders from the graphics arts, packaging and media industries. Entries will be judged on degree of innovation and creativity, marketing appeal, best use of digital technology, paper selection, best use of ink and colour finishing and packaging, and, overall aesthetics.
