About the Best of Category Winning Entry:
This publication used to be much larger in quantity pre-Covid and was run on our UV offset presses. So when they decided to print a much smaller quantity, they did not want to lose the quality. We treated the job just as if it was a larger quantity. Images were color corrected and a one-off proof was output to get the final approval. The quality of the large solid ink coverages throughout is excellent. The colors are vibrant just like the UV PRESS version and the quality is as good if not better than before.
We are proud to be featured in the Printing Impressions Magazine November 2022 issue. Printing Impressions has highlighted our winning of the top Premier Print Award for "Best in Category-Book/Digital Printing" in 2022 for the printing of the NAC Design Diaries.
"Architects have a keen eye for details and they wanted the quality to be as good, if not better than our UV presses. The type on the spine had to be perfectly centered; crossovers throughout the book required precise grind and push out; and the print and bindery registration had to be exact for perfect crossovers. The heavy ink coverage throughout the book posed challenges for printing."
Colornet Press is proud to announce being awarded the Best of Category for Book Digital Printing in the 2022 Premier Print Awards. A challenging job with extensive color corrections, precise registration, and critical crossovers, this book was very detailed and had heavy ink coverage that needed to match or exceed our UV offset presses. Our work on NAC Design Diaries using our HP Indigo 7K and prepress expertise allowed the final product to stand out among the others in this competitive category.
"Excellence in the 'every day'. Accurate crossovers and solid ink coverage. Great brights on the undercoated sheet." - Judges comments for Best of Category

We are pleased to announce the installation of a new INDIGO 7K Digital Press, released in 2021, replacing an older model. This is a true digital press, not a duplicator, where our seasoned pressman’s craftsmanship contributes to the quality.
- Highlights of this new press are:
- 1- Introduction of the Metallic ink colors
- 2- Actual PMS color inks
- 3- Improved Opaque White ink
This Digital Press produces the closest print feel and match to our traditional offset printing. The printing on the uncoated sheet does not have the undesirable ink sheen associated with other digital duplicators. The color intensity of the ink on the uncoated sheet goes well beyond the reach of other presses.
Colornet Press has added the Zünd G3 Digital Cutter to be used in conjunction with press sheets or large format inkjet prints to deliver both exceptional productivity with unsurpassed cut quality.
Providing the ability to do short-run die-cutting jobs, point of purchase displays and one-off comps on-site enhances the quality we can bring to our clients. Click here to see a video of the Zünd digital cutter in action.
