In awarding its Grand Prize, the jury has emphasized the exceptional rigorousness that Datachrome has shown in printing and finishing this demanding work, full of details, with numerous images featuring flamboyant colours and printed with the stochastic screening technology.

This Grand Prize also confirms the exceptional quality of work & commitment by Datachrome’s entire team

and high definition printing in its Laval plant in Quebec. 

James D. Ronald, President


This belief forms one of the cornerstones of Datachrome’s mission statement and is evidenced by the level of commitment to quality that is put into every job.

Datachrome has been in operation since 1991 and is one of the leaders in technical innovation for the industry. The company has seen rapid growth in operations and services through both dynamic sales efforts and acquisitions and is poised to continue this success in the future. We recently consolidated all our services into a new modern facility to improve efficiency and provide the basis for further growth.

The complexity of producing a superior quality annual report, corporate brochure, poster or even the intricacies of a postage stamp is handled easily by our company. We were the early adopters of stochastic printing and one of a select few who use this technology to produce stamps for Canada Post. We currently use stochastic printing in all of our work. This enables us to present brighter and richer looking products than other printers who rely on more traditional methods. Our efforts have paid off in all the accolades that we have received for our quality.


ZOOMSUIT: First MFX® trading cards & comic book

The award-winning adventures of Zoom Suit have been made even more special by adding MetalFX. Trading cards featuring the titular superhero have been printed by Datachrome using MetalFX to bring a metallic shine to Zoom Suit's silver finish and comic book backgrounds.

The animated short Zoom Suit has won numerous awards at film festivals in the U.S.A., and there are talks of a feature film.  The next step, however, is a Zoom Suit comic book which might also sport MetalFX colours throughout.
