Its East Kilbride, Chromoworks, Chantry, Colchester, Purnell, Watford and Petty plants teamed up to print over 8m magazines - or 52m 32pp sections - after its imaging hub at Watford produced files. The titles were BBC's Radio Times, IPC Media's What's On TV and TV Times, and TV Quick, published by H Bauer.
Group sales and marketing director John Ashfield said: "This has been a tremendous achievement involving the use of 24 presses, 20 saddle-stitching lines and 14 activity centres at nine different locations."
For the first time every section was printed within the group and 96% of binding was done in-house.
Watford and Petty have both moved to CTP. Anglia should move to it next year.
