Printing Industries of Illinois and Indiana (PII) recently held its 7th annual Pinnacle Print Awards Gala to recognize outstanding quality achievement in printing. Three Illinois winners used manroland presses to print their award-winning work. They are Digital Hub in Chicago, United Graphics & Mailing Group in Elk Grove, and Darwill Press in Hillside.

    Digital Hub won two awards, including Best of Category, which was completed with all green materials to produce electrical light outlet stickers for client Eco Minders. The other was a Certificate of Merit that was earned for a presentation folder of four or more colors and done on behalf of client Lincoln Park Zoo, which is located in the same neighborhood as the printer.

    United Graphics & Mailing Group won a Best of Category award for a self promotion piece with spring posters. The firm also took home two Awards of Excellence for invitations of four or more colors for a Mardi Gras Ball invite, and notecards done for client Lakeshore East. Scott Hayner, one of the owners of the family-owned printer, said they’ve had the ROLAND 306 6-color press with coater and perfector for nearly a year and it has made a huge difference.

    “The ROLAND press has changed the way we print. Our production is way up due to faster makeready times. We also control color much better than before and print jobs now that we were never able to produce. The addition of the aqueous coater is new for us and I don’t know what we did without one,” Hayner says.

    Darwill Press won a pair of awards for Best of Category and a Best of Division honor for work produced on its ROLAND 700 press.
