Glamorous PPA Award Ticket on Mirri Pak

The PPA Awards are the most coveted in the UK magazine and business publishing industry, showcasing talent, rewarding innovation, and providing a benchmark for excellence. 

The PPA ticket was designed by Anderson Norton Design and printed digitally onto Mirri Pak for HP Indigo, which is a metallic silver card. The ticket was printed four colour, plus white on the front on a HP Indigo Press, with a gloss lamination post print, providing the invite an extra level of gloss. 1000 tickets were produced for the event measuring 210mm by 100mm.

Anderson Norton Design chose a deep purple colour with gold lettering made of stars and white text. Simply by printing 4 colour and white onto the Mirri, all the areas except for the white text became metallic. A map and further details were printed on the white reverse of the ticket, in 4 colour process. 

“We felt the Mirri ticket was really in keeping with the style of this very glamorous event”. 

-Grace Harrison, Events Manager at the PPA

“By using Mirri Pak for HP Indigo, this meant a glamorous shiny metallic awards ticket could be produced and turned around very quickly and efficiently. The result is stunning”. 

- Steve Middleton, Sales Director at Celloglas

Strathmore Preserved

 

 

The Daily Heller reports on the incredible archive of Strathmore Paper that was almost forgotten. 

Mohawk Paper Mills in Cohoes, New York acquired the Strathmore brand in 2005, and their incredible archive came with the acquisition. Yet it was virtually hidden in a Mohawk warehouse until late 2013, when according to Mohawk creative director Chris Harrold, “we finally dug in to the six pallets of material.” Up to that point, the archive had been forgotten and was almost thrown out.

Read more about the history of Stathmore from the Daily Heller to discover the riches of the parallel tracks that both Mohawk and Monotype are following regarding the history of type and paper!

Street Art on Coventry Rag at Modern Multiples


Modern Multiples presents their new Street Art featuring over 80 different limited edition serigraphs from over 10 graffiti and street artists, such as Chaz Bojorquez, Gajin Fujita, Speedy Graphito, Defer, and Saber. Modern Multiples is a fine art printmaking studio specializing in serigraphs and digital giclees. They collaborate with a wide array of contemporary artists and designers to create unique and highly collectible works of art.  Each production is unique in its progression through the different levels of involvement and participation of the artist and publisher. Creating a Street Art Section is a way of celebrating independence and the Freedom of Artistic Expression. 


Many of the Street Art prints are done on Coventry Rag 320gsm including the image to the left, Defer "Treading on a Tiger's Tail". Coventry is internally sized with a modest amount of surface sizing so while it’s predominantly used for serigraphy, it’s also making a great choice for fine art offset lithography.
