SNPA Invites Entries in
2010 Print Quality Contest

Would you like to see how your newspaper's print quality stacks up against other newspapers your size? Would you like an objective opinion of your paper's print quality from three independent judges?

For just $95, enter your daily or non-daily paper into SNPA's 2010 Print Quality Contest and Evaluation. A group of three judges will independently and objectively score your newspaper for black ink density and uniformity, color ink density and uniformity, color register, page alignment, litho defects and other defects. Judges will not consider print defects such as nip marks on the edges of pages.

The front page of each section (not including classified), plus additional pages (up to 20 total pages) will be scored. From these scores, a composite “Product Quality Rating” will be calculated and the top three newspapers in each circulation breakout will be recognized at the SNPA News Industry Summit in October. Marked newspapers and judges’ evaluation forms will be mailed to all participating newspapers at the end of October.
