The cover was printed by Wembley-based Colour Five on a B1 UV litho press, using UV inks and varnishes.
A selective white was printed in line with the four-colour image, then protected with an in-line high gloss UV varnish.
Neil Atkinson, Managing Director of Colour Five said: "We have lots of experience printing on Mirri; it's a great substrate to add value to a project and we are really pleased with the result we achieved for Esquire magazine.
"We worked closely with the client, advising on the artwork to get the best effect form the Mirri. The use of a selective white was key to boosting contrast in the image."
