2012 Hall of Fame: Carl Gerhardt - Exuding Trust and Integrity

A familiar face in the printing industry blogosphere, including a popular blog on PIworld.com, Gerhardt has not been afraid of tangling with supplier-based issues, helping to bring about changes that have been beneficial to the industry at large, not just Allegra Network. "We have taken on Adobe, Xerox, Canon, HP and others when they have done things that are not consistent with being key suppliers to the print-for-pay market," he says. "And, to the credit of our suppliers, they have reacted and changed these programs when our industry became proactive."
