Printing Industries of America is now accepting nominations for the 2012 InterTech™ Technology Awards. These awards honor the development of technologies predicted to have a major impact on the graphic communications and related industries. 

About 250 technologies have received InterTech Awards since the award was introduced in 1978. Technologies have been singled out in almost all aspects of graphic communications business and production from management information software and workflow systems to press consumables and digital printing systems.
