PrintWeek Awards 2012 Bespoke Digital Printer of the Year - Augustus Martin

Tuesday, 23 October 2012

Augustus Martin had to hit the very highest standards of digital print to triumph in this extremely competitive new category.

One of its submissions, showroom art prints for Bentley Cars, was even awarded a 'perfect 10' score from one judge, while it received high praise for work that also included a portable toy box promo unit for Tesco and prototypes for a Next perfume launch.

The Bentley campaign, for the launch of the new Continental GTC, required Augustus Martin to print 'fine art' canvasses on its HP Designjet Z6200, before they were hand-stretched onto wooden frames. The finished canvasses were packed into bespoke cartons for delivery to Bentley dealers worldwide.
