M&R Announces Inaugural 2021 Digital Squeegee Awards Competition




February 4, 2021

M&R Printing Equipment, Inc., Roselle, Ill., announces the first-annual 2021 Digital Squeegee Awards competition.

The Digital Squeegee Awards is a year-long celebration of garment decorators who excel at hybrid printing on the DS-4000 DIGITAL SQUEEGEE Hybrid Printing System, released by M&R in 2018, according to the company. This award contest is open to any printing company in the United States that produces hybrid prints using an M&R DIGITAL SQUEEGEE.

Throughout 2021, M&R will present eight awards—two awards per quarter—in recognition of the best hybrid screen-printing techniques by garment decorators, as decided by a panel of artwork judges. The two Digital Squeegee Awards are the “DS Innovators Award” and the “DS Production Skills Award.”

The DS Innovators Award celebrates the creative and innovative use of hybrid printing technology. The award will be presented to printers who stretch the boundaries of what the DIGITAL SQUEEGEE and hybrid printing can produce. The DS Production Skills Award will honor printers who show an advanced understanding on how to execute hybrid prints during regular production runs.


The award winners and their designs will be announced on a quarterly basis and featured on M&R’s website, social media channels, and throughout M&R’s garment decorating industry media partners. For more information, click here. — D.S.
