By Mark Vruno T he 2nd annual Quick Printing Readers' Choice Top Products Awards competition was conducted in mid-2014. The goal was to gather opinions from print service providers about what they consider to be the most significant products intro- duced to the commercial printing industry between September 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013. We asked readers to vote for the products within each category that had the strongest impact on their businesses or created the most excitement in the industry. The contest covered 17 categories, from digital color printers and offset presses to finishing equipment, inks, software, pre- press, and mailing products. There was only one winner in each category as well as a few ties. Next year's contest will include products introduced to the industry between January 1 and December 31, 2014.
