Here we are, the ICN Family, at our Grand Christmas-Hanukkah-Kwanzaa-New-Year Party, celebrating a successful year (despite these not easy times!) and looking forward to the next one.

We thank our customers and partners for both their friendship and their business and wish everybody happy holidays and a prosperous 2009!

Several times a year, the ICN people come from all over North America to the Massachusetts Headquarters to work together, make strategic plans and have fun. The holiday party was the fun part, with a delicious dinner, invigorating cocktails and dancing, news-sharing, laughter and heartfelt wishes – time well-spent!

It was great to see the ICN people and their loved ones all getting together, and great to feel that we are, more than ever, one strong team.

May everyone be happy, safe and joyful and… let’s overachieve more!!

It is interesting to compare this – real – etching to a simulated one: Diamond Etch ink. The simulated etching is done with pad printing ink. Read more
