Snap Circular Quay and Enviro Print have both taken out multiple awards at the annual Fuji Xerox Pixi (Printing Innovation with Xerox Imaging) Asia Pacific Awards.
Snap Circular Quay took out first place in the Use of Speciality Colours: Metallics and White, implemented through its work on the Iridesse Production Press. It was also awarded first place in the Catalogues category. Enviro Print Group also achieved multiple award status, with recognition in the Posters, and the Cards & Invitation categories.
“To be recognised across the region as a standout in two categories is exciting for our team, and of course our customers. Receiving two first place awards in the Fuji Xerox Pixi Awards has enabled us to showcase the type of output we are now producing in an evolving market”, said Richard Cook, managing director, Snap Circular Quay
Roger Labrum, senior marketing manager at Fuji Xerox Australia said, “The Pixi Awards is an opportunity to reward our customer’s expertise in using technology in innovative and interesting ways that lead to the creation of fantastic applications, designed for a purpose and providing business benefits for their clients. We are very pleased to see that our customers in Australia have once again performed well at this year’s Award”.
The Pixis recognise innovation and excellence in digitally-printed work from users of Fuji Xerox solutions across the Asia Pacific region. The 34 winning entries were received from Australia and New Zealand, China (including Hong Kong and Taiwan), Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
In addition to the existing 29 application-based and industry award categories, five new award categories were introduced – Use of Speciality Colours: Metallics and White, Use of fifth and sixth Colour Technology, Creative Use of Speciality Media, Inkjet printing: Signage & Display and Embellishment & Finishing. These new categories aimed to showcase the multiple applications of the Iridesse Production Press specialty colours and applications.
Submissions for the Pixi Awards were evaluated based on print quality, appropriate use of digital technology, innovation, business effectiveness, and overall aesthetics – demonstrating a good balance between the quality of the digital prints and the ability of the Fuji Xerox solutions to deliver the desired results.
