Nonetheless all the judges agreed that Pureprint was a worthy winner, impressing with "thoughtful post-press work" and "attention to detail on binding".
Achieving several full-mark scores in both this and the Fine Art Printer of the Year category, Pureprint's Henry Moore Late Large Forms submission was widely praised.
So too was Matrix, a book on historic British hand and desk seals, which was printed using a combination of digital and litho, and with cases made from black buckram cloth, mounted over 2mm greyboard, silver-foiled on the cover and spine.

Park Communications was commended this year for Candy & Candy: The Art of Design, a Walpole British Luxury showcase book and a book celebrating 200 years of Warner/Chappell music publishing. Scoring particularly consistently was the Walpole job, which, most importantly, also garnered much praise from the client, who commented "great job… 10 out of 10!"
