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."

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".
