Logistics
Participating firms will receive the target file and print on December 5, 2005 – OR – December 12. Vendors
can print the file at their own site, or they can choose a customer/firm using the vendor’s equipment to print
the file. Each company will produce the appropriate size print from the same file and record the relevant
information on the data sheet that will be supplied with the file. The site producing the print will have 5
working days to turn the “job” around, which will be determined by pick up and delivery times recorded by a
courier service. The print(s) and the data sheet will need to be delivered by the site producing the print to
PMA Headquarters in Jackson, Mich. From there, the prints will be judged and delivered to Orlando, Fla.,
where they will be displayed.
To receive the target file and target print, e-mail Stephanie Beauchamp (sbeauchamp@pmai.org) and
indicate on which date you would prefer to receive the file. We will also need to know the exact shipping
address of the location producing the entries. You may enter only the category in which the printer is
appropriate (for instance, a 36” inkjet printer may only enter the 36” to 49” inkjet printer category). DIMA will
confirm your intent to participate in the DIMA Digital Printer Shoot-Out and will send the target file, target
print, and data sheets to you or to the site producing the output on the appropriate date.
We look forward to your company being part of the 2006 DIMA Digital Printer Shoot-Out. If your company is
not already exhibiting at PMA 2006, but you would like to participate in the contest, please call our Trade
Exhibits Department at (800) 762-9287. Remember, you must be exhibiting at PMA 2006 to participate
in the 2006 DIMA Digital Printer Shoot-Out.
