Sappi Honors Excellence, Texas Style

DALLAS—The physical setting may have been the Lone Star State, but the gala awards ceremony for Sappi Fine Paper’s 12th annual North American Printers of the Year competition held at the Dallas Museum of Art incorporated Hollywood pizzazz with a touch of Texas flair.

With master of ceremonies Janine Turner (an actress best known for her role on CBS’ “Northern Exposure” television series) assisted on the stage by Mark Gardner, Sappi Fine Paper North America president and CEO, eight gold winners were announced at the black-tie event. Culled from a field of almost 2,000 entries printed on Sappi coated fine papers, gold winners were named in eight categories from the 48 silver and judges’ winners.
