SGIA has announced the winners of the 2017 Product of the Year Awards, with 49 products out of the 222 entries honored. “Wherever we could, we used objective criteria,” said Ray Weiss, digital imaging specialist, SGIA. “That means categories like Roll-to-Roll Dye Sublimation on Textile were objectively evaluated to include industry specifications. “The uptick in the number of fabrics entered underlines the surge in printing to fabric. In fact, this year we saw the most entries ever in dye sublimation and direct-to-fabric printing,” Weiss added. Entries will be on display in the Golden Image Gallery at the 2017 SGIA Expo (New Orleans, Oct. 10–12), and the awards will be presented in a special ceremony the night before the SGIA Expo opens. • Digital Inks — Textile: Sawgrass (Booth 2975), SubliJet-HD FLEX Sublimation Inks • Digital Inks — UV: Marabu North America LP (Booth 2119), UltraJet DUV-GR • Finishing — Display/Exhibit Hardware: Windigo Signs (Booth 617), Windigo Portable Sidewalk Sign • Finishing — Equipment — Routers/Cutters: Gravograph (Booth 4107), LS900 Energy Laser Engraver • Finishing — Equipment — Die Cutters: Rollem International (Booth 1944), Insignia Die Cutters • Finishing — Equipment — All Others: Leister (Booth 3356), HEMTEK ST Banner Welder • Finishing — Laminates, Adhesives, Films, Coatings: BannerUps E.L.
