M&R Printing Equipment Inc. announces the 2021 Digital Squeegee Awards competition. The Digital Squeegee Awards is a celebration of garment decorators who excel at hybrid printing on the DS-4000 Digital Squeegee hybrid printing system. This contest is open to any printing company in the U.S. that produces hybrid prints using this machine.

Throughout 2021, M&R presents 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 per quarter 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 goes to printers who stretch the boundaries of what the Digital Squeegee and hybrid printing can produce. Submissions should include out-of-the-box thinking and extra creativity.

The DS Production Skills Award honors printers who show an advanced understanding of executing hybrid prints during regular production runs. These entries should represent high-quality, technically-skilled production printing.
