The Committee will be evaluating all ap- plications throughout May and the winners of the 2022 Scholarship Awards will be announced in ear- ly summer. Historically, four to six scholarships are awarded to students on an annual basis totaling around $30,000 in monies awarded. Bobst Rewards Inventor Employee For Innovation Fred Rostalski, an Engineer at Bobst Bielefeld GmbH, received the Bobst Inventor Award for the “Method for determining print parameters of a print machine and test stand” (Smart GPS 2.0), which was granted in 2021. Led by Sigrid Wagner, Group IP Director, the award was launched in 2020, mak- ing Rostalski the third person to have received the Bobst Inventor Award, after Nick Copeland in 2020, and Matthieu Richard last April. The annual award is sponsored by CEO Jean-Pas- cal and aims to thank recipients for their contribu- tions to a strong Bobst intellectual property portfo- lio through quality inventions, and to increase the awareness on the importance of IP. Inventions by contracted Bobst employees and awarded a patent for the first time in 2021, were considered, with the winner adjudged to have had the greatest impact, in terms of commercial value for Bobst and its customers, technical advantages, and scope of marketability. Rostalski’s invention uses high-resolution camera scans to determine information about the cliché re- lief and ultimately improve the quality of pad print- ed products. The invention allows the print image to be visualized in advance and pre-setting parameters for the press to be determined, tested and corrected. Through this invention, the work of pre-setting the print image and correction of the printing parameters is front loaded into the plate mounting process, thus reportedly reducing press cycle times for pre-setting, and in-turn enabling greater longevity in run times.
