INDIAN STEALS THE SHOW

 

With Indian entries bagging a sizable number of awards at the competition organised by FESPA, the event highlighted the country’s dominating presence in screen and digital printing.
The awards function at FESPA 2005 was one of the most memorable events, especially for delegates from India. It was for the first time that India participated at the competition after it became an associate member of FESPA. In total 92 entries from 15 different companies entered the competion. It is worth noting that more than half of the companies walked away with a total of 11 awards. Indian victory at this global event recognising industry excellence speaks high of the quality standards the country has achieved.
According to the event organisers, over 400 entries were received from 20 different countries. The 20 Awards categories covered many diverse aspects of screen and digital printing.

FESPA General Secretary, Mr Nigel Steffens was thrilled in light of the contributions received for the awards. “Some of the contributions are just outstanding,” he said. He further added, “We have been hugely impressed by the stunning work submitted, and were also delighted by the broad range of nationalities that entered the competition. It was particularly gratifying to see such a large number of entries from India, with some of them winning Gold, Silver and Bronze.”
“One of the most encouraging signs made evident through the competition is that the screen printing process is continuing to develop,” he said, adding, “We have seen some truly excellent, technically superb entries, ranging from the printing of electronic circuits to religious icons, demonstrating the process at its very best. Similarly, entries in the four digital categories showed that digital output is producing stunning, high-quality results, which can compete on a par with our industry’s traditional processes.”

The new FESPA President Hellmuth Frey awarded prizes in more than 20 categories and subcategories such as ‘Process Colors’ and ‘Single/Multi Colours’ to the lucky winners. The award categories covered areas as diverse as screen and digital printing, including point of purchase products, calendars, posters, textiles, and digital printing, to name but a few.
