The global Print Excellence Awards and the National Excellence Awards in Print took place in Mumbai on 8 February 2024 alongside the Pamex exhibition.

The Black Book 2024 including images of the winning entries and comments of the industry leaders and sponsors was also presented at the function. It contains a comment in its frontspiece by RN Dutta Baroah, president of the AIFMP that starts with a quotation on the top of the page from the 19th century Afro-American newspaper publisher and abolitionist, Frederick Douglas – “It is the mission of the printer to diffuse light and knowledge by a judicious intermingling of black and white.”
