Congratulations to the young publishing team at Toronto’s Ryerson University for winning the Helmut Kipphan Student Publication Cup in a competition sponsored by the Technical Association of the Graphic Arts (TAGA). This yearly honor salutes the best student-produced journal on research and technology for the graphic arts.
Most of the production of the winning publication, RYETAGA, was performed in-house by the students themselves. It features a die-cut cover, silver metallic cover paper, and a back-cover sleeve for a CD of the content. A digital flip-book version can be seen here.
The publishers, studying at Ryerson’s School of Graphic Communication Management (GCM), are members of the TAGA student chapter at the school. The articles they wrote for the winning issue include Examining Microprinting Security; The Effect of Ink Tack in Four-Colour Printing; Modern Marblization; Visual Similarity Between Coated & Uncoated Papers; and Halftone Dots: A Comparison of Stochastic & Conventional Printing.
The students were recognized at TAGA’s 2010 Technical Conference in San Diego in March. The RYETAGA article about ink tack, written by Rebecca Dykopf, Gloria Leung, and Pauline Wut, was selected as the winner of the Harvey R. Levenson Student Paper Award. The Dusty Rhodes Graduate Student Paper Award went to Clemson University’s John Jay Jacobs, Sarah Stafford, and Andy Walker for All Paper Membrane Switch, examining the possibility of printing a membrane switch on paper.

My congratulations to the Ryerson students (and to their great teachers)! All of the student chapters participating in this year's competition produced outstanding work! Although TAGA's work often goes unsung, this is one of our most important missions and these students very much represent the future of the industry. Other schools participating (TAGA chapters all): Ball State, Clemson, Eastern Illinois University, Cal Poly, EFPG (Grenoble, France), RIT, University of Wisconsin Stout. (Because this hasn't been mentioned elsewhere)-- The TAGA conference was sponsored by Dow Jones, Heidelberg, INX International, Kodak, MAN Roland, Mimeo.com, and EFI. Visit www.taga.org for more info. Thanks Patrick!

The whole set of entries from the nine university chapters were outstanding, lots of great ideas from all of the teams - I was glad I was not one the judges having to separate all of the great work. What was especially encouraging was the dialogue with the students at the conference, they are the future of our industry and to be around their excitement was inspiring. If you get a chance to visit with any of the chapters or look at their work I would strongly encourage this. Good luck to all for 2011
