“This new relationship between KIP and EFI will strengthen the KIP C7800 position in the poster production environment, while giving customers the best-performing RIP available, and is the first of several planned product collaborations,” said Stefan Spiegel, general manager of Fiery production and proofing solutions at EFI. “Fiery is leading the industry with solutions from digital production print to superwide production printing.”

“KIP provides a unique production print device that is able to bridge the gap between slower wide format inkjet devices and smaller format high-speed, toner-based digital production devices, and we’re pleased to pair the KIP C7800 with the Fiery wide format production system,” said Wil Reimer, national technical manager at KIP. “Together with EFI, we now have a strong solution for a market that has traditionally been dominated by inkjet devices.”

EFI Fiery takes color quality and productivity for large to superwide format printers to a new level with open ICC technology while supporting advanced color and production tools. The fast, high-performance RIP works with most major aqueous, solvent, eco-solvent and UV printers. It maximizes a customer’s investment by reducing production times, unifying production devices and delivering accurate color on every job.

The LED-based KIP C7800 wide-format color production print system offers the only color toner-based system in the wide format market, combined with powerful print control capabilities and versatile production advantages, making high-quality, wide-format printing both fast and cost-effective.

“We were able to move over to LexJet’s Sunset Select Matte Canvas from On a Roll’s canvas and there were no problems with the switch; we’re very happy with LexJet,” says Lou Fiore of Speedway Custom Photo Lab in Daytona Beach, Fla. “We also get a high level of service and support from LexJet, plus product delivery we can count on. LexJet tells me when I’m going to get my products and I get them the day they were promised, and it’s usually the next day.”

All shipping, product and customer logistics have been transitioned to LexJet and built into its technology infrastructure to ensure no interruption in service to On a Roll Color Imaging customers, who, like all LexJet customers, can expect the following:

• Personal support: LexJet customers always speak with a person who can help them between the hours of 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. ET. Moreover, customers who call in will not be on hold for more than ten seconds or have to navigate through frustrating and seemingly infinite phone trees
• Products plus: LexJet customers have access to thousands of products that address the entire inkjet-printing workflow and are designed to build their business, all with unlimited and free technical and product support from personally-assigned customer specialists
• Nationwide shipping: LexJet customers receive products quickly from its nationwide delivery network at a flat rate of $9.99 for every order, every time, no matter how large the order

“Our number-one priority – whether it’s bringing On a Roll Color Imaging’s customers on board, working with a new customer or an existing customer – is to ensure the best possible experience for each customer,” says Pete Petersen, LexJet CIO. “An integral component of that is our continual investment in technology systems so that it’s as easy as possible for our customers to get what they need. With fewer hassles and unwanted surprises in the process, they can focus on developing their core business.”

1st March 2012

Over 46% of visiting printers attended more than one day, bringing the total attendance to over 17,500. This represents a record breaking revisit rate for any FESPA Digital event over its 5 year existence, indicating that the breadth of technology on show, combined with the eight Explore-themed visitor features, gave most visitors a compelling reason to extend their visit.

The highest number of visitors came from Spain(45%), followed by the UK (6%), France (6%), Italy (6%) and Germany (4%). While these leading European markets for wide format print are typically well represented among visitors to FESPA events, the location of the 2012 show in Barcelona had a particularly positive impact on attendance from Iberia and France. In all, visitors attended FESPA Digital 2012 from over 111 countries.

Several noteworthy product launches kept the show buzzing with news of innovation and fresh opportunities, and exhibitors across the show floor reported enthusiastically about how the event met their business objectives, whether for actual sales, lead generation, awareness building and channel expansion.

Stefano Rogora, EMEA Marketing Supervisor, INX Digital comments:  “FESPA Digital 2012 met our expectations in terms of visitors and business opportunities. We particularly appreciate the international extent of FESPA shows, which makes them stand out as unmissable events for INX Digital. INX Digital is putting a lot of effort in the promotion of both alternative inks and customised solutions targeting industrial markets and we are extremely pleased that FESPA Digital 2012 has captured this very diverse audience. We have engaged not only with PSPs, but also companies focused on industrial applications across different vertical markets who showed interest in our products and solution orientated approach.”

Johan Suetens, Marcomms Manager for Ink Jet, Agfa Graphics comments: “FESPA Digital 2012 has been a very good show for Agfa Graphics. The quality and number of visitors was better than we had expected and we are especially pleased with the Iberian andUK visitor numbers. We are looking forward to London in 2013!”

Andrea Negretti, President Italy Branch, d.gen comments: “FESPA is THE place to be for d.gen. It’s where we feel represented and recognised on an international basis and surrounded by a valuable community of prospects and customers.  We are pleased with the sales results achieved and the positive reception our Teleios Grande textile printer received. d.gen is committed to the development and promotion of environmental friendly printers and we are proud that today the print industry is acknowledging our commitment and compelling proposition in this field.”

Print Shop Live!, FESPA’s live workflow showcase which took place for the first time in Europe, was a highlight of the event, with hundreds of print service providers joining moderated tours in English and Spanish. Big Buck$ Cafe, a working cafe highlighting a range of digital print applications was also a popular destination, with many visitors taking advantage of a coffee break to consider the opportunities to diversify their product offering. The Explore Conference, Planet Friendly Printing Zone, Textile Talk Theatre and Narrow Format Zone offered a range of opportunities for visitors to absorb the latest insights into technology, applications, business growth and sustainability.

FESPA Managing Director Neil Felton comments: “FESPA is an amazing organisation to be a part of and the experience I have had on the run up, and during Digital 2012 has been incredible. The feedback I received from visitors and exhibitors at FESPA Digital has also been overwhelmingly positive.

He continues, “Our aim to provide PSPs inspiration to explore the wider opportunities of print certainly seemed to resonate with visitors who voiced appreciation of FESPA’s sharp sector focus and our expert business-led content. FESPA is committed to investing in the success of our community, and bringing fun and vitality to each FESPA event”.

The next European FESPA exhibition is FESPA 2013, the flagship global ‘screen + digital + textile’ event, which takes place at ExCEL London from 25 to 29 June 2013.

The FESPA Wrap Rally motorhome was decorated using the winning design chosen by FESPA’s Facebook followers.  The European tour covered 11 cities in four countries, visiting seven companies, interviewing seven print service providers and meeting four FESPA Associations in only seven days.

The Wrap Rally motorhome was wrapped by Master Wrapping in Hemel Hempstead. The wrap was created using substrate provided by Hexis and printed on a HP DesignJet LX25500 using 50m vinyl.

On the road to Barcelona, the Wrap Rally team spoke to experts in 3D printing, and printers producing applications from direct mail to printed interiors, including Symeta, HP, Comptoir de l’image, Gobet Product, ATC Group, Hexis and Cunicode.

The Wrap Rally was piloted by an intrepid team of FESPA ‘adventure road warriors’ consisting of new media assistant Rob Older, corporate commercial manager Chris Rimer and events and online marketing assistant Richard Kensett.

Chief Wrap Rally Pilot Rob Older comments: “The FESPA Wrap Rally team have packed so much adventure into the past seven days and the support we have received from our online community has been overwhelmingly positive. We have spoken to a whole host of interesting European printers who have given us fascinating insight into how their business has successfully explored wider opportunities of digital print, and we look forward to learning so much more at FESPA Digital, now we have finally arrived in Barcelona!”

Video footage and highlights of the Wrap Rally adventure, including video interviews, photographs and blogs exploring the wider opportunities of print with printers is available to view at www.fespawraprally.com.

Covering 16,500 square metres of hall space in Hall 3 of the exhibition centre, with more than 350 exhibiting companies, FESPA expects the Digital show to attract an international audience of print professionals looking to ‘explore the wider opportunities of digital print’ highlighted by the show’s extensive visitor promotion campaign. When pre-registration closed on 20th February, more than 16000 printers had indicated their interest in the show.

In developing the event content, FESPA has focussed on bringing to life the wealth of opportunities that exist for print service providers to grow their business, from technology investments and workflow optimisation, through diversification into new applications and business models taking advantage of the latest developments in substrates and inks.

In addition to the show floor exhibits, there are eight free visitor attractions under one roof at FESPA Digital 2012.

• Explore Conference – NEW
• Planet Friendly Zone – NEW
• Print Shop Live! – NEW
• Big Buck$ Cafe – NEW
• Narrow Format Zone – NEW
• Hall of Fame – NEW
• Wrap Cup Masters Series
• Wrap Rally II

FESPA Managing Director Neil Felton comments: “We’re delivering the richest and most relevant Digital visitor programme yet here in Barcelona, with a raft of new content that matches the specific needs and interests of the wide format printer community, all free of charge.

“FESPA’s central mission is to use our collective expertise in wide format print to educate, share knowledge and highlight best practice to help our community succeed. We hope visitors to FESPA Digital 2012 will take full advantage of this programme, using every opportunity that’s here to complement what they see on exhibitor stands with expert knowledge, insight and a dash of inspiration to help grow their business.”

The free onsite Explore Conference offers more than 40 individual educational sessions in English and Spanish on topics including: Business Building, Technology Issues, Narrow Format Print, Sustainability, Digital Signage, Customer Insight, Printed Electronics and Planet Friendly Printing.

FESPA’s long-standing commitment to sharing knowledge and best practice in the field of sustainability is manifested in the shape of the Planet Friendly conference stream within the Explore Conference, as well as a series of hands-on clinics and workshops running on the FESPA Planet Friendly Zone on the FESPA stand (B15A), inviting printers to share their queries about improving their environmental performance and receive direct advice from FESPA’s four subject experts.

In addition to the vast array of technology innovations on display on exhibitor stands around the show, FESPA’s Print Shop Live! offers PSPs their first opportunity to tour a real end-to-end workflow within a European FESPA show. Live jobs including conventional and textile applications are being produced using GMG colour management software, Onyx ripping and preflighting tools, with output across multiple print devices from Epson, HP and Mutoh. Media are supplied by Ilford and final output is being finished using Esko Graphics cutting solutions.

Inspiration and ideas around innovative print applications can be found at Big Buck$ Cafe, a working coffee shop and WiFi zone within the show, where visitors can see close up how digital print can enhance everything from POS and signage, to floors and walls, to furniture and fashion. The cafe menu provides details of how each application was produced and a dedicated microsite invites visitors to explore further.

For printers thinking about spreading their wings into other formats, the Narrow Format Zone at stand A30 offers advice and insights into opportunities to complement wide format production with digital labels and small format commercial printing. In addition to sign-posted narrow format exhibits around the show, Dr Peter Mayhew of Lyra Research Inc. will host a series of conference sessions within the Narrow Format theatre in this new zone.

The Hall of Fame is where FESPA’s celebrates the leading lights in digital wide format printing as nominated by their peers. It is the culmination of an online vote conducted over a ten-week period, during which members of FESPA’s worldwide community were invited to nominate a printer they believe has made an outstanding contribution to the field of wide format digital. Over 400 nominations were received and narrowed down to a shortlist of 250 who are represented in the gallery of stars in the show entrance. Over 3,000 votes have been made online so far, and visitors to FESPA Digital 2012 can continue to vote onsite for their favourite here. The winner will be honoured at a champagne reception on the final day of the show on the FESPA stand.

The pace speeds up at FESPA’s Wrap Cup Masters Series, the show-stopping live vehicle wrapping competition running throughout FESPA Digital 2012, in which 48 vehicle wrappers will battle through several rounds to be crowned FESPA Wrap Cup Masters European Champion 2012. In Barcelona, the teams will take on the challenge of wrapping a Smart car, to be judged on quality and speed.

The last, unmissable stop for visitors to FESPA Digital 2012 should be the wrapped motorhome which toured the UK, France, Switzerland and Spain on FESPA’s Wrap Rally. The eye-catching RV has come to a halt in the entrance area of Gran Via, and visitors can take a closer look at the printed vehicle graphics, and see video interviews captured dung the tour, which visited more than 10 print ‘explorers’ around Europe.

“It is a natural fit for NASSD and ISA to collaborate for the advancement of the issues common to both associations. NASSD is dedicated to promoting the value that sign supply distributors provide to the industry and ISA is the perfect partner to help further that message,” said Victor Lebow III, NASSD President.

“NASSD serves as a strong voice for distributors in the sign industry and their representatives are out in the field each day, interacting with sign companies,” Hensley said. “There are many common interests in government regulations and sign code issues as well as educational opportunities.”
