Tel: +91 40 2338 0000 / harsha@pragati.com
Pragati Offset has triumphed over a range of commendable entries to claim the Specialty Book Printer of the Year Award. The firm impressed the jury members with its entries of Raghu Rai – Trees (for Photoink), Shri Hanuman Chalisa (for Charuvi Designs Labs), Satyapal Sugandhi(for Dharampal Satyapal) and Hampi (for Ganjam Nagappa & Sons). All images for Raghu Rai – Trees were separated into quadtone (two blacks and two greys) while images for Hampi were separated into tritone (two blacks and one grey). Pre-press work for Satyapal Sugandhi required cold foil separation for many of the images. Raghu Rai – Trees, Shri Hanuman Chalisa, Satyapal Sugandhi and Hampi were printed using a Komori Lithrone press in quadtone with online aqueous primer coat, a Mitsubishi Diamond 3000 with online aqueous primer coating, a Mitsubishi Diamond UV press and a Komori Lithrone press in tritone + metallic gold with online aqueous primer coat, respectively. Intricate post-press work was also used.
