The awards show that these prestigious associations have recognised this. As part of this ongoing commitment HP has recently formed a dedicated Graphic Arts business unit to better focus its portfolio of digital imaging technology aimed at the sector. Because we understand the needs of this specialised market, our products give our customers quality and competitive advantage.”
The EDP is the first association of digital graphic press in Europe. The association comprises leading digital printing magazines from across Europe and the awards are chosen by an association of editors, consultants and graphics professionals. Standards are high; if no product is considered good enough a category will be dropped.
TIPA comprises 31 European photo and imaging publications, including Chasseur d’Images, Foto Multimedia News and Professional Photographer. The awards recognise products from across the digital photography spectrum.
