PRIYADARSHINI SRIDHARAN and SHALINI VIJAYARAJAN are the winners for PrintWeek India Student of Year
S Priyadarshini (l) and Shalini Vijayarajan (r): worthy winners
Deciding the Student of the Year category was a tough one. Among the applicants, both Priyadarshini’s and Shalini’s consistent academic records and research presentations during their course of studies were outstanding. This made it difficult for the jury to tilt the result in favour of one. Priyadarshini showed special drive for ink, a subject in which she was a topper in the IV semester. It was reflected by the project she took up on ink mileage calculation. Shalini made her liking for packaging known by presenting a paper on the application of nanotechnology in food packaging at a national conference, which bagged the second place. The achievements of the two contestants, Priyadarshini and Shalini, have made them both worthy winners of the Student of the Year Award.

COMART LITHOGRAPHERS is the PrintWeek India Pre-press Company of the Year
Comart Lithographers: a tradition of colour
Comart was a pre-press bastion till 2003. Like all roads led to Rome, most ad agencies took a detour to Comart’s studios in Mumbai and Bengaluru. Corporates created their print brands after consulting the Poonawala family because of their in-depth knowledge of colour management, print processes and complexities of applications. The reason, we are impressed with Comart is, they did not lose their technological advantage - and transformed their business. They restructured and repositioned their brand. Comart has invested in digital photography, pre-media services as well as printing logistics and IT-enabled services.
