SPECIAL REPORT -- The State of Web Printing - A Year's Worth of Mastery

And, over the past year, Garnett has implemented productive changes for members to use. She, along with the WOA staff, has taken on the process of updating and redesigning WOA's The Print Awards contest, which judges the best printed pieces from web offset companies.

The submissions are now judged by members of the Specifications for Newsprint Advertising Production (SNAP) committee based on criteria such as back-to-back registration, paper tinting, folding of the product and overall craftsmanship of print. Categories cover all aspects of web offset printing, including best four-color piece produced via coldset on newsprint; best innovative piece produced by the heatset process on any stock; best bound piece, combination coldset and heatset; and a new SNAP category for printers that have been SNAP certified.
