The Print Show event has been a major printing event in the industry. Printing companies do get a chance to present their offerings and moreover, visitors come to know about different printing companies in this event.

The Print Show event was organized the last month at NEC Birmingham from 11th October to 13th October. It turned out to be a great success. There were 130 exhibitors who participated in this event. The approach of this event was ground up and not top down.

Different companies expressed their views about the event. Ian Howley, Nova Chrome’s managing director said “Nova Chrome UK are pleased to be returning to The Print Show this October, and are looking forward to demonstrating the ease, quality and versatility of dye sublimation printing to an even wider audience than last year”

Howley added “The system is supplied with colour palettes that can be loaded in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Corel Draw for easy reference.

“The applications for this versatile system include high visibility signage, safety products and garments and the more traditional promotional products and giftware—giving garment printers, sign shops, and other service providers the opportunity to widen their target audience.

“Other new arrivals include a selection of products designed for the sublimation printing process, including towels, gift tins, new finishes, new sizes of our Chromaluxe photographic products, Photo Slate, and much more besides.”

Julian Marsh, Harrier LLC’s Bussiness Development Consultant said “Harrier Print really is looking forward to exhibiting at this year’s Print Show”.

He added “Harrier is one of the UK’s leading digital printing companies with unrivalled HP Indigo production capacity. Due to the seasonality of our core photo business we are able to offer this capacity to the market providing high quality, economical, fast turnaround digital print and finishing to trade customers.

“As well as our Indigo production capability we have about 20,000 square feet of bindery where we IUV varnish, laminate, cut, crease, fold, saddle stitch, wire-o and PUR bind. We also have high-end Kolbus hard case making and casing in production lines in-house. This gives us the capability to produce tens of thousands of soft and hard cover books a day with the option of full variable personalisation at no extra cost.”

“Anyone visiting the show who is considering a move into digital, already outsources trade digital, or has the opportunity for a large scale personalised promotions project should drop by the stand and talk to the team.”

Kuczynska said “Labo Print heavily specialises in large-format printing, and we are recognised as one of Europe’s leaders in this field, exporting hundreds of prints every day to many countries,”.

She added “Our company has selected The Print Show as the UK event that will help us to launch our new products—cardboard displays and digital printed labels. Whether you want a cardboard display for a retail store, event or trade show, Labo Print can create any style cardboard display for you, and don’t forget that our cardboard displays are 100 percent recyclable, therefore your company can be eco-friendly.

“Our labels are digitally printed on EFI Jetrion 4900ML 330 delivered on rolls for machine or hand application. These labels can be used in the food and drink industry, logistics, cosmetics and many others. Our labels are also made to the highest standards and fully comply with the requested regulations. Further to this, they are the perfect solution for producing short runs of multiply types, as there is no minimum order.”

Kuczynska concludes: “Years of experience in the industry, a group of the best experts and an excellent machine park based on the most modern digital printing technologies—all of this allows us to constantly provide our services at the highest, European level.”

It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth. Even the all-powerful Pointing has.

Signs And Lines has installed Roland TrueVis VG640 printer-cutter. It is of worth £15,000. The last month they installed a Mounter’s Mate Laminator and it had a cost of almost £10,000.

It is a huge investment made out by the company in printing, cutting and laminating areas. The company envisage an increase in sales and printing volumes.

Andrews said: “We were looking around at a few different machines and then we saw a demo and considering we’ve got a Roland already we were quite impressed. The print quality is very good, it has got really strong vibrant colours and is really everything we want in one machine.

“I’ve always liked Roland, it’s a well-known name in the market. We briefly looked at others and were briefly looking at a Mimaki flatbed but decided that it wasn’t for us. We will look at getting other kit from Roland in the future, some of its smaller flatbeds might be the next thing we invest in.”

Andrew explained that it is very helpful in doing vinyl wall jobs and they already have  a considerable amount of printing through this.

He added, “We are now manufacturing 80%-90% of what we send out in-house,”

“We tend to do big projects and the problem is that they take up the machine and that means we can’t put other regular stuff through it. Now we can use the new machine for projects and the regular stuff can be made up on the 540.”

The firm came into being in the year 2000 with eight staff and in the upcoming year, they are planning to hire more staff. By the end of the next year, the company is looking to reach out to sales turnover of £1m, that is quite impressive. In order to produce massively, they require a reliable machine as of Roland TrueVis VG640 printer-cutter.

Creativity promoted By HP

“It’s a designer’s dream to be able to create this many original artworks and to push digital printing as far as we have with HP Mosaic,” Sarah Douglas, Wallpaper creative director further explains: “Working on this project with HP Indigo has been incredibly exciting and has inspired us to totally re-think our attitude and approach to print technology and the printing process.”

While speaking about HP, Brook said “Speaking about the HP technology, Brook adds: “What really impressed us was the quality of the print with HP Indigo. It is remarkable how even flat colours are, particularly light tints, and how smooth vignettes are without feeling mechanical.”

HP also marked this special event as the 25^th anniversary of their first inkjet printer. HP also arranges a contest ‘My HP DesignJet and Me’ for its customers and there were considerable prizes associated to this contest.

The head of large format printing at HP, Thomas Valjak commented, “We are committed to ongoing reinvention to meet the evolving needs of architects, engineers, graphics production, GIS and construction professionals and helping customers work where and how they want to.

“In 1991, HP DesignJet was born in Barcelona and more than two decades later our 60 percent market share clearly shows the true partnership we have been building during those years with our customers.”
