Printing Services On behalf of the team at Ellipsis Media, we would like to thank all USQ staff for their support and patronage over the past five years as the business model was tested for viability in the external marketplace as a means of supporting the internal USQ demand for print, design, sign writing and 3D services. We are very proud to share with you that the business has been confirmed as a continuing commercial business unit for USQ and we will continue to build upon our external market niche whilst ensuring USQ retains the same consistent, high quality, priority service it has enjoyed to date. Gold Medal – National Print Awards Earlier this year, Ellipsis Media was nationally recognised for its industry leading capability in full colour 3D printing with the Gold Medal at the National Print Awards on 29 June 2018 in Sydney. Additionally, Ellipsis Media was commissioned to design and 3D print all of the trophies presented to winners at the National Print Awards (75 in total), which created a great amount of excitement and interest from attending printery businesses from across the country. As we move forward, we will also be updating some of our production equipment to meet the market demands of an evolving industry. We have just taken possession of the new AccurioPress 6136 black and white digital production press and an envelope over printer to assist with mail outs and variable data work. 3D Print at Parliament House In October, our Gold Medal winning model was on display at Parliament House in Canberra for the inaugural Print 2 Parliament event. The aim of the evening was to create awareness in the country’s policymakers of the size and importance of print to the economy, and to the development of the country. Over 100 MPs and Parliament staff attended the event that showcased the Printing Industries Association of Australia’s national gold medal winning works, which included the Ellipsis Media 3D model of the Vanguard Laundry building in Toowoomba.
