Harris & Bruno Heads to the 2026 FSEA Gold Leaf Awards

Harris & Bruno is excited to attend the 2026 FSEA Gold Leaf Awards and Print Embellishment Conference in Nashville. Paul Furse, Spencer Bruno, and Ryan Moskun will be there representing H&B as the industry comes together to celebrate the creativity, craftsmanship, and technology shaping the future of print.

This year’s event is especially meaningful for our team because several pieces from the Out of This World Embellishments campaign have been entered into the Gold Leaf Awards. Created on the ZRX Digital Embellishment Press and brought to life by a group of incredibly talented designers, these entries reflect the kind of bold thinking and visual impact that continue to push digital embellishment forward. For H&B, it is exciting to see this work showcased on a stage that recognizes some of the best embellished print in the industry.

The ZRX and the Growing Impact of Digital Embellishment

The ZRX platform is at the center of that momentum. As more printers look for ways to differentiate their work, create premium effects, and respond to shorter runs with greater flexibility, digital embellishment is becoming a bigger part of the production conversation. The ZRX helps make that possible by giving print providers the ability to produce tactile textures, foil effects, and high-impact visual finishes in a more modern and efficient workflow.

That is part of what made the Out of This World campaign so exciting. It was not just a collection of beautiful samples but a demonstration of what can happen when creative designers have access to the right technology. The pieces submitted into the awards show how digital embellishment can add dimension, contrast, and energy to print in ways that capture attention immediately.

Coat Today & Embellish Tomorrow with the ZR Gen2 

While digital embellishment will be a major focus for H&B at the event, the conversation also naturally extends to the ZR Gen2. Not every printer is ready to step into embellishment in the same way or on the same timeline. For many, the first step is investing in a strong coating platform that delivers value today while opening the door to greater capabilities in the future.

That is where the ZR Gen2 fits in. It gives printers a high-performance coating solution with a modular platform designed to grow over time, including a clear upgrade path to the ZRX. For print providers thinking strategically about how to expand their offerings, that flexibility matters. It allows them to strengthen production today while building toward digital embellishment as the next opportunity.

Looking Ahead to Nashville

For Harris & Bruno, the FSEA Gold Leaf Awards are a chance to celebrate great work and connect with others who see embellishment as an important part of print’s future. We are proud to have several ZRX-produced pieces entered into the competition, and we are looking forward to the conversations ahead around coating, embellishment, and the next generation of print innovation. Let us know if you’ll be in Nashville!
