The awards will be presented at the Gold Ink & Hall of Fame Awards Banquet, Oct. 16, 2006, Chicago, Illinois. The award was for unique and distinctive improvements and designs for self-published author Craig Gosling’s children’s book, For the Love of Animals: Rhyme and Reason.

Mentzer Printing Ink specializes in innovative printing solutions for its customers. "We're honored," Company President James Mentzer said. "Lots of printing companies claim they have solutions for customers. It's something else when independent industry experts verify it."
