More than 70 companies from around the world entered the competition, submitting nearly 400 entries in 53 product categories. Conducted during the 2016 SGIA Expo (Las Vegas, NV, September 14-16), this year’s event was one of the most challenging in recent history, according to Johnny Shell, SGIA’s Vice President of Technical Services.
Shell added that the Golden Image competition is judged on the technical accomplishments of each entry, excluding aesthetic issues from the evaluation and scoring process. Prints are judged on the level of difficulty and quality of execution.
"Winning both,the Gold and Silver Golden Image Award for the Heat Transfer category puts Insta Graphic Systems among the the top specialty printers in the world in terms of quality and capability. The ability to consistently print such high-quality products indicates that Insta Graphic Systems is an expert at controlling the many variables involved in specialty printing," Shell said.
