Recognition for Innovative design of Landa Nanographic Printing™ Presses.
Landa S10 Nanographic Printing PressLanda has been presented with the prestigious GOOD DESIGN award for its Landa Nanographic Printing™ Presses from the Chicago Athenaeum, a Museum dedicated to the art of design in all areas: architecture, industrial, product design, graphics, and urban planning. According to Christian K. Narkiewicz-Laine, President and CEO of the museum, it received submissions from several thousand of the world’s leading manufacturers and industrial and graphic designers for this celebrated award. The GOOD DESIGN award program is considered the oldest and most recognized program for design excellence, and was created in 1950 by architects Eero Saarinen, Charles and Ray Eames and Edgar Kaufmann, Jr.
“We designed the Landa Nanographic Printing™ Presses not only to address short-to-medium run lengths, but also to remake the printing press user experience for a new generation,” says Benny Landa, CEO and Chairman of Landa Corporation. “We worked hard to make our Nanographic Printing press appeal to the digital print marketplace of 2013 to 2030, and beyond.”
“Our goal was to translate Landa’s Nanographic Printing revolution into a breath-taking piece of equipment that could redefine the meaning and identity of commercial printing – all within the context of the user profile,” explains Elisha Tal, Principal and Owner at I2D, a Tel Aviv-based industrial design firm that worked with Landa on the design of the press.
The sleek design of the printing press features an unprecedented 10-foot (3-meter) wide touchscreen for operating the device. A distinctive cyan-colored frame surrounds the screen and visually connects the press to the Landa brand.
The GOOD DESIGN award program is organized annually by the Chicago Athenaeum and the European Centre for Architecture, Art, Design and Urban Studies. Last November, the program’s jury met in New York and selected 700 product and graphical designs from over 38 countries. Past award winners include 3M, Apple, Bang & Olufsen, CISCO Systems, Daimler AG., Lenovo, Logitech, Porsche and more.

The Land of The Free bans the Irish Flag.
Culhanes PubIt seems that America is not quite as free as we all thought, at least regarding flags anyway.The owners of an Irish pub in Florida said they were shocked to receive a citation for flying the Irish flag. They had to remove it to comply with a local ordinance banning commercial display of non-U.S. flags.
Culhanes Irish Pub in Atlantic Beach, south of Jacksonville, is owned by the four Limerick born Culhane sisters, Michelle, Lynda, Mary Jane and Aine for the past eight years. For that time, they have flown both the tricolour and the American flagoutside their pub and were shocked when code enforcement officers gave them a citation on 20thFebruary. It said they had 24 hours to "cease display of flags other than the American flag."
The ordinance was passed in the 1990s as part of the administration's attempt to clean up an unsightly commercial area. The language was vague, however, and the ordinance banned all flags, except for the U.S. flag.
“I’m shocked. This is America, the land of every nationality,’’ said Michelle, “I couldn’t believe they made us take down our own flag”
City officials told them that an amendment to change the law is in the works, but won’t be enacted until after St. Patrick’s Day. So that means that they won’t be able to fly the Irish Flag on the biggest day of the year, St. Patrick’s Day.
The ordinance was not noticed until a Greek restaurant was cited for flying a Greek flag that partially blocked a footpath. It complained that they had been singled out, and the Culhanes were told their Irish flag had to come down as well, the acting mayor, Maria Marks, said.
News reports about the incident reached all the way back to Ireland, which provoked a flood of letters and emails, many of them accusing the city of bigotry.
Maria said that some of them “were really, really nasty”.
The City officials must have got the message about the stupidity of the law and have proposed amending the ordinance to allow the flying of national flags, but the revision process requires a couple of readings and cannot be finished until April or May, Maria said. In the meantime, enforcement has been suspended.
"Everyone can fly their flag as long as it's not interfering with a right of way or creating a safety hazard," she said.
So the Culhanes can fly the tricolour again for St. Patrick’s Day.
