The PIA award is the highest honor the association gives to an individual within the graphic communications community.

Idealliance and Printing Industries Alliance Foundations are pleased to announce that the 2018 Franklin Luminaire Committee has selected Benny Landa, visionary inventor, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and “Father of Commercial Digital Printing,” as the recipient of the 2018 Franklin Award for Distinguished Service — the highest honor given an individual by the graphic communications community.

Shortly after HPQ purchased his first company, Mr. Landa “immersed himself in a new project—to save the planet using nanotechnology—and established the Landa Group.” It wasn’t until 2012 that he first unveiled his new digital printing creation – nanography – a new process that allows for “high-speed digital printing on large formats and on any kind of untreated paper or plastic.” That new printing process is the backbone of Landa Digital Printing, a startup that has now taken in $435 million in funding to bring us “the second digital printing revolution”.

Landa Digital Printing banked $300 million from investment partners to accelerate roll out of nanographic printing.

Landa Digital Printing (LDP) has received a further investment of $300m (£228m) from German entrepreneur Susanne Klatten to aid its expansion as more machines head out to customers.
