Two digital printing awards have been won by Cambrian Printers with the Digital Printer Award for marketing and collateral material, together with the British Book Design and Production Award.

Cambrian Digital - the digital printing division of the Aberystwyth's Cambrian Printers - presented its brochure as an example of the diverse printing capabilities of the digital printing facilities at the firm The brochure was designed, printed and finished in-house to demonstrate the features, effects and substrates that digital printing can support

The Digital Printing Awards were held for the first time this year.

The HP Indigo 5000 offset digital press that forms the cornerstone of digital printing operation at Cambrian Printers is said to provide a range printing options for customers, including variable data content personalisation.

The company added that digital printing is largely chemical and solvent free, with fewer materials consumed in the make-ready stages making digital print a sound environmental choice for clients.

The quick turn-around also makes digital printing suitable for all printing requirements - from students' dissertations through to business cards, or even wedding stationery.

Clive Evans, the press room manager at Cambrian Printers, said: "It's fantastic to know that we've won the first ever award for marketing and collateral for digital printing.

The technology we've invested in at Cambrian rivals the traditional printing techniques offered by litho and enables customers to print a short run of printed materials very quickly." He explained: "The value that high quality digital printing can add to any project is enormous.

It is possible to process a broad range of substrates, which gives designers and clients access to an increased range of visual effects.

Our award winning brochure is one example of how we can print on foil, acetate, 100 per cent recycled and a vast range of paper and card.

We've asked customers to compare a page within the digital brochure with an equivalent lithographically printed page and none out of 10 couldn't do so." Cambrian's award for the best digitally designed and printed book at the British Printing Industries Federation (BPIF) British Book Design and Production Awards drew comments from the judges, who said that the brochure presented by Cambrian Printers "showcased to maximum effect the possibilities of digital printing".

Carrick Wilkie, Cambrian's sales development director, said: "This has been a spectacular year for Cambrian Printers and these wins confirm our position as a market leader within the UK.

Cambrian Digital is a fairly new division within the company so it's very reassuring to be recognised as industry pace-setters.".
