About the International Newspaper Color Quality Club
IFRA says: "The International Newspaper Color Quality Club is the only worldwide quality printing competition for newspapers. It promotes high-quality, full-colour newspaper production and informs participants in detailed evaluation reports about technical optimisation possibilities. The competition for membership was first held in 1994 and has taken place since then at two-year intervals. It is supported also by numerous national associations."
About IFRA
IFRA says: "IFRA is the worldwide research and service organisation for the news publishing industry. With headquarters in Darmstadt, Germany, it has acted since 1961 as the platform for decision-makers from the newspaper industry. IFRA offers its services primarily to its more than 3100 members in nearly 80 countries. A Board, comprising publishers as well as central, regional and specialised committees drawn from IFRA member companies, steers the work of the international newspaper community. IFRA’s research work provides the basis for this and results in standardisation projects as well as international and regional exhibitions, conferences, workshops, study tours, training events, Newsplex consulting and international competitions. The IFRA Expo – “the annual event of the news publishing industry” – held at major European venues, is the world’s most important trade exhibition for newspaper companies and their partners. IFRA Expo 2009 will be held from 12 to 15 October in Vienna. IFRA Magazine, the international magazine of newspaper business, strategy and technology, is published in several languages in both print and online versions. IFRA is also running IFRA Search, a vertical search engine for the news publishing industry."
