Pittsburgh, PA -- The Web Offset Association (WOA), a special interest group of Printing Industries of America, announces the winners of its 2009 WOA Annual Print Awards Competition. From around the world, top companies competed to see if they could achieve "best of the best" in the web offset print arena.
 
The following organizations made a dedicated effort to improve their quality and didn't settle for anything less than perfection: Action Printing, Alliance Press, Inc., Bartash Printing, Butler Color Press, Color Web Printers, Creel Printing, Dome Printing, Dynagraf, Inc., Evergreen Printing Co., Expedi Printing Inc., Gateway Packaging, Journal Graphics, Ripon Printers, Southeast Media, Star Press, Teldon Print Media, The News Review, Transcontinental Metropolitan, Tribune Publishing Company, Western Web, and Wright Graphics.
 
Winning pieces were rewarded with the highest designation in the web offset industry. The distinction of being an award winning company will help attract customers, improve name recognition, and make you stand out against the competition.
 
These champions will be celebrated for their creativity, dogged determination, and simply being the "best of the best." Challengers should ask themselves if they have what it takes to beat these companies in 2010. In order to be the best, one has to beat the best.
 
"For Bartash Printing, the WOA Print Awards are more than something to brag about. Internally, they give us a benchmark to live up to. Externally, they represent third party validation of our capabilities from a respected evaluating organization," said Richard Greene, director of marketing, Bartash Printing. "They validate our existing clients' decisions to work with us, and reassure new prospects that they are dealing with the best possible supplier."
 
The 2009 contest was sponsored by Central Ink Corporation, Flint Group, Goss International Corporation, INX International Ink Company, Kodak, Manugraph DGM, Prime UV Systems, and US Ink, a Sun Chemical Corporation.
