GotPrint.com received the 2018 Benjamin Franklin – “Benny” – Award for the Digital Enhancement Printing category. The winning work is an annual booklet called the Broker’s Product List. The 2017 edition of the BPL was also a Benny Award winner last year. Both awards were achieved after GotPrint.com installed a Scodix Ultra Pro with Foil in early 2017.
“Every year, since 2009, Printograph has produced the BPL,” Marketing Manager Erina Sookiasian said. “It’s designed specifically for the print professional [print broker and reseller customers as well as other print industry leaders], demonstrating not only what we offer in terms of product and paper, but exhibiting the quality, uniqueness, and level of customization our company can achieve with our high-end equipment.”
“We know our technology helps printers create works of art — and this just goes to show how true that is,” Scodix North American VP of Sales and GM Mark Nixon said. “With a bit of creativity, the sky truly is the limit when it comes to the incredible work that can be created with Scodix presses.”
This year’s catalog theme and design process were inspired by the 1950s, according to Lead Creative/Graphic Designer Edik Balaian.
“This was the period when home radio entertainment systems were at their height in popularity [just before the indoctrination of television and the 1954 invention of the pocket transistor radio],” Balaian said. “Home radios incorporated so many different materials such as wood, plastic, glass, and fabric, and were topped off with gold accents for that luxury finish. Using the Scodix system, we were able to bring that look and feel to life on the BPL cover.
“Employing the Scodix Raised UV and Raised Foil technology, gives an artist the opportunity to fly beyond a flat two-dimensional design, creating a festival of textures and feels that transcends any standard palette of expressions,” Balaian added. “In the end, we were so pleased with the results that we distributed over 100,000 catalogs industry-wide.”
