Statistically speaking 33 Indian printers and 2 Institutes had submitted a whopping 195 entries to the Awards competition, which was close to 50% of the entries received by FESPA from 38 countries |

The FESPA Board members were happy to observe the tremendous improvement in the Quality and Quantity of entries from India ever since the Indian printers started participating in FESPA’s international awards competition 5 years ago. Hence they had every reason to shower praises on Indian printers |

Nigel Steffens, FESPA’s Managing Director comments, “This year we were delighted that the awards attracted more than 450 entries from members of FESPA’s national associations around the world. The jury, which consisted of technical screen and digital print experts as well as top industry editors, remarked on the high calibre of the entries, and the excellence of the screen printed entries was second-to-none. |

“Encouragingly, a high proportion of award entries came from emerging markets including India, Thailand and Russia, underlining the quality and dynamism of screen print production in these countries.” |

Chris Smith, Head Membership Services, who is overseeing the Awards Competition activity this time, recollected that in FESPA2005, the number of entries that were received and the quality of the printing was far behind of what it was in sirca 2010. He viewed this drastic change as a reflection of how Indian Printers are putting tremendous efforts, both in terms of investment and technology, to bring out innovativeness and quality improvement |

Michel Caza, the senior most FESPA Board Member, who commands high respect for his abundant knowledge and expertise and considered as an authority in Screen Printing process, was very happy to see the tremendous change taking place in the Quality and Innovation by the Indian Screen Printers. He felt that if they are more innovative, they will have many more awards in the FESPA 2013, to be held in London. |

Russia and Switzerland have performed very well this time and won many awards. Indian printers would have to be careful about classification of the categories and send newer and creative entries, instead of repetition of entries, which have been put up in earlier events.
