The fifth annual Inkjet Summit wrapped up Wednesday evening, April 26, with a closing dinner, awards ceremony and an entertainment program featuring a juggler/comedian. During portions of the highly educational, three-day program, attendees broke into breakout groups that were based on their print market segment product mixes/interests — including Publishing (books, catalogs and publications), Direct Mail/Marketing, Transactional, General Commercial and In-Plant printing — to hear tailored case study presentations from the various Inkjet Summit sponsors.

After the formal program ended, Inkjet Summit attendees were asked to vote on the case history presentation that they felt was most useful within their particular segment. They also voted for which of the sponsors they felt to be the "Company to Watch Out For." After all of the votes were tallied,  the following companies that prevailed received special awards of recognition at the closing banquet:

Among the finalists HP, Mondi Group, Ricoh and Screen, Mondi Group was chosen as the best sponsor case study presentation for the Direct Mail segment.
