J.K. Rowling has
become the second International Ipex 2010 'Champion in Print' for her outstanding contribution to book printing. Ipex is the largest English-speaking global technology event for print, publishing and media. The acknowledgement comes off the back of the massive print-runs Jo had with the Harry Potter series.

A spokeswoman for Ms Rowling said she was "flattered to be nominated for the Ipex 2010 'Champions in Print' Award".

Ipex 2010 Event Director, Trevor Crawford comments: "Harry Potter has become a household name worldwide so we are extremely pleased that Ms Rowling has been awarded our prestigious 'Champions in Print Award' by the graphic arts world."
Nominations are decided by the Ipex Advisory Committee (IAC), which represents a broad range of major exhibitors, visitor groups and trade associations. Ten champions in total are named based on nominations at
Ipex.
The event itself will take place from the 18th - 25th of May at the
NEC, Birmingham, UK.
