Earlier this month, Toronto hosted the 14th annual Canadian Printing Awards (CPAs) at the Palais Royal to a sold out crowd of 250+ attendees. Choosing from a record 319 submissions in the Print Design and Printing categories (an increase of nearly 100 from last year, many of which came from first-time entrants), a panel of independent judges recognized more than 110 Gold, Silver and Bronze trophy winners. Awards celebrated innovation by Canadian printers and technology suppliers. And while congratulations are due to all award recipients, three prominent Scodix users stood front and center.

Canadian Printing Awards with their ‘Print Against the
Grain’ entry in the Marketing Collateral category.”
Collectively, Scodix customers took home more than 25% of the distinguished honors, accumulating 30 overall awards, including 8 Golds. Mi5 Print and Digital was recognized with a Silver in the Magazine category, and PBI (Printing By Innovation), a newcomer to the awards, collected a Gold in the Marketing Collateral category and then two Silvers, in the Self Promotion, Printing Company category, as well as in the Specialty Effects category. Mi5 has only been a Scodix Ultra Pro Foil user since December 2018, while PBI installed their Scodix Ultra 101 press less than six months ago in May.
The big winner of the night was easily CJ Graphics Inc. Communication Solutions who received an astounding 26 CPAs on the evening (including 7 Golds). Notably, CJ Graphics were the first production facility in North America to install the newly released Scodix Ultra Pro with Scodix Foil system back in 2015.
