Manipal Technologies, the PrintWeek India Company of the Year Award winner of 2012, takes home the Consumer Magazine of the Year Award. “In this category, we are looking for best examples of ‘glossy’ magazines, which don’t just attract a reader but also keeps them engaged. A lot of emphasis was placed on printing and finishing,” said one of the judges.

Manipal Technologies bagged this Award thanks to their superlative work on consumer magazines like Vogue (Conde Nast), GQ (Conde Nast), AD (Conde Nast) and National Geographic Travaller (Amar Chitra Katha). According to the judges, the samples showed great consistency and evenness. All the samples were printed on a Komori heatset web offset press, CVR – Komori eight-colour sheetfed press and their pre-press consisted of an Esko workflow and Flexicrip from Esko. The plates were produced on the Screen 8600 with autoloader and online processor.

Gold foiling, UV coating, online gloss aqua coating and Luxor 432 foiling were some of the post-press processes executed to perfection that set Manipal Technologies’ samples apart in a category which saw excellent entries from all the shortlisted finalists.
