With the circulation number in India soaring and advertising catching up, quality of printing has become paramount to growth. The judges found some well-executed newspapers that demonstrated excellence, but just like the first edition of PrintWeek India Awards, the judges again selected the Gujarati newspaper, Divya Bhaskar for the coveted Award for its excellent design, layout and print quality.

One of the judge said “In the cities, customers take print quality for granted, but when you pick a regional newspaper and find the quality outmatching the national dailies, one has to appreciate the quality more.” Equipped with a KBA Prisma, Divya Bhaskar has a print capacity of 2,70,000 copies per hour, fires TechNova's Viostar plates on a Krause LS Jet 300 and uses Micro Inks.
