PrintWeek Awards 2013 Magazine Printer of the Year - The Westdale Press

Twenty five years of continuous print production is a proud boast of Westdale Press in Cardiff, and titles including Take Stock, Man About Town and Ritz London make it an even prouder winner this year. <br><br>Category sponsor: Ipex

Catering trade journal Take Stock rolled off Westdale’s long-perfector presses, varnished throughout with dense blacks. Quality was enhanced by the matt UV varnish on the cover, making it stand apart from most business magazines and stand out with the judges.

The Iron Man bookazine won over the judges, who are always up for superhuman efforts in print. The Poole firm "produced high quality across the board and a stunning portfolio that was a pleasure to judge", they said. Perfection is a must for collectors’ items and Southernprint delivered.

"Excellent colour consistency, especially on blacks," was the judges’ verdict of Taylor Bloxham’s stable of titles including Ritz Magazine, Ferrari 21 and Archivist. The Leicester-based firm’s high-end print came into its own when reproducing Herbert Ponting’s Antarctic photos for Ritz Magazine.
