Labiink from Riga, Epple Druckfarben AG’s sales partner in the Baltic States, printed 200,000 copies – in a 4 week period – of Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimović’s latest book “I am Football.”
The book is 1,770 grams and filled with pictures of the current LA Galaxy forward’s career. Printed in Latvia by Livonia Print, the central colors for the uncoated natural paper were a special CMY color palette – 7 tons of black printing ink and 260 kilograms of Pantone Gold 871. It also features black and gold printing inks from Epple.
This is a follow up to the 2011 “I am Zlatan Ibrahimović,” which featured metallic tones and a black and gold cover.
The latest book was published by the Bonnier Fakta publishing house in Stockholm, Sweden, and is available in 8 languages in 8 markets: Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, the Netherlands, France, Italy, and the UK.
“The extensive ink supply was a challenge,” said Ivars Upmalis, managing director of Labiink. “However, we were able to master it, thanks to our ink mixing station in Riga. “Our customers, as proved by this book project, always receive the most varied printing inks in the exact color tones they desire, in the shortest time possible.”
The 37-year-old Ibrahimović scored 22 goals for his MLS club during the 2018 campaign.
