19 October 2015

Awards xx

The Daily Mirror remains Trinity’s core business, while Trinity is core to this category – its various sites having won it four times. With a nightly print order of around 500,000 copies, requiring at least three presses rolling at full speed, the Mirror has formidable production targets.

But it was The Independent that really wowed judges in this general election year, impressed with “excellent print quality, particularly on solid areas like the Next DPS”. The 72-page 5am Election Special Edition included 179,000 copies printed over four editions throughout the night. As election fever gripped the nation, pressure mounted in the pressroom, as all of its national newspapers increased print orders for the night. High levels of recycled fibre meanwhile put more demand on print quality, but the result, regardless of the political outcome, proved perfect for Trinity Mirror Printing (Watford).

Highly commended

The Financial Times rolls off the presses of Newsprinters – Eurocentral, as does The Scottish Sun, the Daily Telegraph and The Times. The judges, impartial on choice of newspaper of course, are nevertheless sticklers when it comes to the quality: “Good printing throughout. We were especially impressed by some of the quality on the shorter-run papers.”
