CHICAGO—September 14, 2015—The "Best of Category" picks in the 2015 Must See 'Ems competition were announced at the close of the EXECUTIVE OUTLOOK Conference on Sunday, Sept. 13, immediately prior to the opening of GRAPH EXPO 15, which runs Sept. 13-16 at Chicago's McCormick Place, co-located with CPP EXPO. These "Best of Category" award winners were chosen from among all of the 2015 Must See 'Ems entries and represent the best of the best among this year's technology offerings demonstrated across the show floor at the year's industry event for the graphic communications industry.
"The annual Must See 'Ems competition seeks out the year's best technology offerings," said GASC President Ralph Nappi. "From among these winners judges select their top choices for the best product in each category to honor as 'Best of Category.'"
The judging committee, comprised of industry experts, journalists and consultants, combed through the 2015 Must See 'Ems winners to find what they consider the best technology offered in each category. The committee also made its selection for the annual "Legacy Award," which this year went to the print Cafe PrinterSite web-to-print system, first honored as a Must See 'Ems in 2000. The "Legacy Award" is selected from among all previous Must See 'Ems winners and is awarded to one product that has had a significant, lasting and continuing influence on the graphic communications industry.
