Manipal Technologies wins the first PrintWeek India Academic and Trade Book Printer of the Year Award for its books Thesaurus (for Dreamland), Visual Dictionary (for Penguin India), Textbook of Medical Laboratory Technology (CBS Publishers) and Indian Mammals (Hachette). With run-lengths ranging between 5,000 and 100,000, the books were printed on a Komori eight-colour press. While the Visual Dictionary was sewn on Aster kit, the rest were sewn using a Muller Martini Inventa Plus. Esko Workflow and Flexicrip were used for pre-press and the plates were produced on a Screen 8600 platesetter with autoloader and online processor for all the samples. Gloss lamination, matt lamination and spot UV were also used to increase the aesthetic appeal of the books.
