"One of our biggest problems was developing case studies that we could share with printers," said Motamed. "Vendors who were ready to share technical expertise, were not ready to share information about customers. So in 2005 we created the CIP4 International Print Production Innovation (CIPPI) Awards program to recognize printers who have made remarkable achievements with print automation implementations. The CIPPI Awards are international and have become a very popular program." To date over 60 detailed case studies have been collected and published, including case studies from printers of all sizes and types.
