GSIG MAKES ANNOUNCEMENTS ON IMPRINTS AND PROMOTION OF ACCESS TO INFORMATION
Graphics Speciality Interest Group (GSIG), a chapter of Printing Industries Federation of South Africa (PIFSA), has announced that imprints are still legally required. Increasingly, its members’ customers protest against the use of imprints, claiming them to be ‘free advertising’. GSIG contacted the State Attorney for his interpretation of the Imprint Act 43/1993 and received some interesting advice. The Imprint Act requires that any printer of printed matter affixes a legible notice containing the words 'Printed by . . . ', followed by his full and correct name and the full and correct address at which he conducts his business of printing or an abbreviation of his name as registered with GSIG. The printer is also obliged to inform the Federation in writing of any changes to particulars furnished in a previous application.
