Copresco has won two awards for exceptional technical writing from the
Society for Technical Communication, Chicago chapter.
The Chicago area
digital printer was honored with an Award of Excellence for an article written
by company president and CEO Steve Johnson for the forecast issue of PIA
Magazine, a monthly publication of the Printing Industries of
America.
Johnson allays the fears many printers have that Web-based
media will destroy print as a primary communications medium. He sees the
“Web 2.0,” also known as the “Social Internet,” offering
enormous databases of text, video and graphics that can be turned into
digitally printed and bound books.
Color picture books are a prime
example, he noted. “Social networking site Flickr offers free image
hosting but charges for layout, imposition, digital printing and binding of
those images. Web-savvy consumers expect online services to be free of charge,
but perceive print services to be of higher values and are willing to pay for
them.”
Johnson's article on
Digital Presses Run the (Color) Gamut received an Award of
Merit. He described gamut as the range of color that a press can reproduce and
the differences between offset and digital processes. Copresco's digital
presses have a wider color gamut than offset systems, a critical advantage in
printing high-quality color publications.
