By Mike Vlachos | ESPN Credential Reporter | Wed, 23 Sep 2018 07:08:53The 2017 Digital Printmail Championship is underway, and each team is using digital printing technology to create a digital version of their product for print and delivery.
The digital format, as you can see above, is not exactly paper but it is a new printing method and a great way to reduce the cost of producing goods online.
The 2017 edition of the Digital PrintMail Championship featured some of the biggest names in the business in the form of the New York Giants, Carolina Panthers, Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers.
All four teams had the same printing process, but it was different for each team.
The Giants used a digital printer to create their 2017 version of the Giants jersey and were awarded a spot in the DigitalPrintMail Championship.
The Dallas Cowboys printed their 2017 edition in a digital format and were selected to compete in the finals.
The Carolina Panthers are in the running to be awarded the top spot in a competition to determine the best digital printing company in the country.
The San Francisco team that won the Digital Printing Championship also printed their jerseys in digital format.
They are in an even tie for the number one spot.
The New York team that has been printing their jersey in digital for the past few years will be competing in the 2017 DigitalPrintmail Championship.
There are some notable changes from the 2017 edition.
For one, there are no print-on-demand printers at this year’s DigitalPrintmails.
Instead, teams will be printing out a new print-and-cut version of each jersey for each jersey.
There will also be no physical printing of the jersey at the Digital print house, which is still the same format as the 2017 version.
The Giants jersey from 2017 was printed on-demand at the Print Shop.
The Cowboys jersey from 2016 was printed digitally on-site.
The 49ers jersey from this year will be printed digitally.
The New York Jets jersey from 2015 was printed online.
For the 2017 season, the Giants will play the Carolina Panthers in the National Football League Championship Game on Sunday, September 26, 2017 at 4:05 p.m.
ET.
The 49ers will play at Seattle on Sunday Night Football on Sunday March 12, 2018 at 8:05 a.m., followed by the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football at 10:05.
The winner of the 2017 digital print mail championship will be awarded $25,000 and will also receive a spot on the NFL Network’s “GameDay” program.
