Samworth Inducted into FTA's Hall of Fame

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.—Mark Samworth, vice president of technology for EskoArtwork, is the 49th inductee into FTA’s Hall of Fame. He is a color scientist, who in the late 1970s stepped out of the traditional printing mindset and linked print outcomes with computer science.

At the time, few recognized that such insight would prove paramount to the advancement of an industry. Color management was yet to become a principle, but in the ensuing 30 years, Samworth became widely recognized as one of its founding fathers and its leading proponent in the world of flexography. DuPont’s Mark Mazur says of his colleague, “Color and curves have made Mark’s career.”
