The Daily Mirror Olympic Souvenir Edition of 28 July 2012 was a highpoint for a newspaper that remains a core business, with a nightly print order of around 500,000 copies requiring three high-speed presses. The souvenir edition comprised 96 pages including Olympic, racing and puzzle sections, all printed in one pass on a coldset web-offset presses. The Daily Mirror recycled newsprint brings its own demands on print quality, such as showthrough and strikethrough. But the business consistently performs to ensure everyone reads all about it in titles including The Racing Post (around 80,000 copies nightly), The Independent (around 130,000 copies nightly) and The Irish Independent on Sunday (around 15,000 copies per edition). www.trinitymirrorprinting.co.uk 020 7293 3000 COMMENDED Archant Print www.archant.co.uk 01603 772747 Deadlines, as with most newspapers, are tight, which makes good quality printing hard to achieve.

Take Bentley’s new Flying Spur brochure, with a printed spec as impressive as the car’s: produced in six languages on a six-colour press with inline anilox coating, in-press spectro control and the latest hybrid screening, every detail is superb. The use of gloss and soft-touch spot UV varnishing captures the luxury paintwork and interior veneers. The Jaguar XFR-S Saver brochure, meanwhile, has a clean, modern look requiring the finest detail print to do justice to this highest of high-specification cars. Some 5,000 copies were produced to a tight five-day schedule that sent judges into automative overdrive: “What a fantastic submission.” www.hampton-printing.co.uk 01275 374466 COMMENDED Empress Litho www.empresslitho.com 020 8316 6648 The south London printer was a close runner up, said judges, wooed by Stella McCartney’s Sport Spring/Summer 2013 brochure, which juxtaposed images on coated and uncoated paper and sashayed off two six-colour litho presses – “a great example of a printer executing a challenging design expertly”.

One such piece, for Ikea, was a multimedia summer campaign targeting customers with data-driven postcards alongside other media. The postcard presented localised weather forecasts for a campaign that ran for three weeks using 300,000 postcards mailed each week.

Such techno-driven flexibility also helped holiday park company Haven. Using GMC software, all data for the 33 parks was mail-sorted, so print files could be created for a letting campaign. The client was as impressed as the judges, who commented: “The speed to market of these pieces was consistently impressive.” www.real-digital.co.uk 020 8603 7000 COMMENDED Concept Communications Group www.conceptcomms.com 01279 757333 The company in Stansted, Essex, was challenged by gift and leisure specialist Activity Superstore to improve auditing and control over POP material.
