In the face of a challenging year for our industry, developers and engineers continued to deliver innovative products in the production printing space. Indeed, most have been in the works for years, with launches timed to coincide with the mother of all tradeshows for the printing solutions market: drupa, which takes place only once every four years. Then COVID-19 happened and the show—along with many others—was postponed, pushed virtual, or cancelled outright.
Given the circumstances, the analysts at Keypoint Intelligence felt it was even more imperative to showcase the accomplishments of the hardware manufacturers and software developers. Thus, our Buyers Lab (BLI) Outstanding Innovation awards in Production Print were born. The winners will be announced on Monday, October 5, at 10 a.m. (ET) during our live webinar and all are welcome to attend.
So how did we get here? Throughout the year, invitations were sent to manufacturers and developers that serve the production print market to self-nominate the groundbreaking products, features, and technologies set to debut in 2021 (or soon thereafter). The goal was to identify those that improve output quality, enhance productivity, deliver workflow efficiencies, impact sustainability, and advance their product segments in meaningful ways.
We received dozens of entries, each meriting serious consideration and not one of which was a “me-too” product. So to identify the standouts, Keypoint Intelligence’s expert production printing analysts—who have many, many years of experience evaluating production print products and analyzing market trends—judged the entries on three key metrics: how groundbreaking or unique the product or innovation is, its likely impact on the market segment it addresses, and the expected timeline for availability in the market.
Tune in on Monday to help us honor the hard work and innovative spirit that will drive this industry forward for years to come. Also note that subscribers to our Production Print Advisory Services will also have access to the full analysis article that details each winner and its contribution to its market segment, which will be posted later in the month. Not a subscriber? No problem! Just send us an email at sales@keypointintelligence.com for more info.
