Goss says the success of printers using its M-600 presses in web-offset categories of the 7th Asian Print Awards follow similar distinctions in both Ireland and the United Kingdom. Awards were presented in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, following judging by a team of ten international print professionals from Australia, Belgium, China, England, Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia. In the ‘web-offset - coated stock’ category, the gold award went to C&C Joint Printing Company (Shanghai), for In Style magazine, while silver was won by Times Printers of Singapore with the magazine, Her World. Both Goss customers also won the gold and silver awards in the LWC category. C&C (Guangdong) won for Mosby’s Dictionary of Medicine, Nursing and Health Professionals, and Times Printers for Newsweek magazine. “We are proud that all the web offset winners were Goss press users,” comments Tim Mercy, Goss vice president of commercial web sales in Asia. “This demonstrates that the M-600 press, in the hands of skilled operators, continues to deliver the highest level of offset print quality. The results at the Asian Print Awards followed similar recent successes in Europe where, among others, Boylan Print Group championed M-600 press capabilities. The company was named winner of ‘The Agfa Ireland Award for Magazines’ during the 2009 Irish Print Awards at the end of November. The achievement was for its print production of Click Magazine on a Goss M-600 press that was installed only a year ago. This honour followed acclaim at the UK PrintWeek awards a month earlier, where Artisan Press won both ‘PrintWeek Catalogue Printer of the Year 2009’ and ‘PrintWeek Consumer Magazine Printer of the Year 2009’ for products printed on a range of Goss press systems including two M-600 presses.
