In 2019, we are focusing on the top 20 PI printers with paper substrates, as well as printers our brand partners have asked us to include in the ranking. The following printers ranked 21-30 in the 2018 PI Top 400 list have not been formally ranked and consulted in the 2019 Blueline, due to smaller market share and lack of substantive demonstrable action on sustainability over the years. Based on transparent website content, these printers would have earned red ink drops, with 0-6 points, if formally ranked in 2019: Command Companies (not including Unimac), 4over Inc., Vomela Specialty, Orora Visual, DATA Communications Management, Walsworth and Mittera Group. [A] https://piworld.tradepub.com/free/w_altf01/ The PI Top 400 lists printers who voluntarily report on annual sales, therefore some of North America’s largest printers may not be included.
