All,
Just got this email for nominees for Digital Publishing Solutions Innovation of the Year Awards for 2013. I may be biased, but there are some fantastic entries here. Amazingly, a full 57% (8 out of 14) of them are done using Roland DG technology (we had to ask behind the scenes as it’s not always mentioned below). We truly work with some astonishingly creative professionals, who push the boundaries of what’s possible. By putting “magical” products in the hands of masters, and you get some unbelievably good outcomes. My hat is off to all of our Roland DG pro’s! Chapeau!
I’d like to invite you to check out the applications nominated below, and let us know what you think. If you’d like to vote, please do. (Thanks in advance if you vote for Roland-developed work!)
Thanks for reading,
Rick
