Copresco won the highest award in its printing category for a 280-page digitally-produced adoption recruit-ment book. The purpose of the piece is to place foster children in homes with adoption potential.
Faster and more frequent mailings with more timely information have been
achieved by converting the recruitment book from conventional offset to digital
printing. And, best of all, more foster children are being placed by the social
service agency.
Headquartered in Chicago, the Adoption
Information Center works with children throughout the metro-politan area and
downstate Illinois.
The Premier Print Award is the fourth
consecutive award Copresco has received in PIA’s international
competition.
Q. You mentioned “book” and “offset” paper in your July issue. What’s the difference?
A. They are one and the same. The book paper term has been around
since Gutenberg’s time in the 1400s. It described the paper used for the
letterpress printing of books.
When offset printing
gained prominence in the 1950s, printers found that water residue from the
process caused the paper to curl and stretch. Paper mills solved the problem by
adding sizing—and the term offset paper came into
vogue.
Today, the terms book and offset are used
synonymously.
Copresco will be closed Monday, September 4, for Labor Day. Enjoy the last weekend of summer.
