Digital double defines future of print

My Prospectus

Two major industry awards have been won by the University of East London’s innovative personal prospectus, which was jointly developed with on-demand digital print experts KnowledgePoint.

It recently received a medal at the prestigious UK IT Industry Awards 2010, in the Project Excellence Awards category for ‘Revolutionising Variable Data Print in the Education Sector’, and a week later it won the Digital Printer Awards 2010 for its outstanding use of digital printing technology.

The personal prospectus tool creates a unique prospectus based around the needs of each individual. The prospectus is more relevant, whilst also being greener and more cost effective than standard prospectuses.

Steve Marlow, Head of Print Services at UEL said: "To be nationally recognised by different industry sectors at the same time is a remarkable achievement.” These awards prove that the efforts we are making to develop technology and use it in new and exciting ways to improve user experience are working."
