A highly qualified panel of judges from across the printing industry evaluated the annual contest’s 160+ entries in more than 58 categories. The Pinnacle Product Award competition evaluates products that are, or will be, available for sale in 2021 and is open to PRINTING United Alliance supplier members. Output devices were judged based on reports generated by measuring color charts and then comparing to industry specifications.
