What is a Must See 'em?
PRINT 05 & CONVERTING 05s most compelling products and services as selected by a panel of 15 leading industry consultants and trade magazine editors are the Must See 'ems for every exhibition attendee. Must See 'ems products and services represent the technology trends that will impact virtually all types of printers or converters. They represent the most compelling technology and FuturePrint trends in the printing and converting industries. These products and services are Must See 'ems recognition recipients.

Worth-a-Look for Niche Markets
Some products and services being exhibited at PRINT 05 and CONVERTING 05 do not have as wide an application or broad impact on the industry as the Must See 'ems but are nevertheless especially important for niche markets and selected groups of printers or converters. Some are technology demonstrations providing a hint of FuturePrint. Products and services embodying these characteristics are recommended to the showgoers as Worth-a-Looks.

Must See 'ems and their companion Worth-a-Look products were selected from the some 7,500 individual products shown at Print '05 by over 800 exhibitors. Products were nominated in a reiterative process from supplier information and input from an independent selection committee. Nominees were reviewed and voted on by a 15 person committee in a secret ballot that required more than majority agreement that a product was compelling for a large number of exhibition attendees to achieve Must See 'ems recognition. Products identified as compelling but of importance to a more limited audience or that are promising but not yet fully developed or are in an uncertain early adoption stage have been identified as Worth-a-Looks.
