Tijdens Glasstec 2016, 22 en 23 september in Düsseldorf, zullen de ESMA organisatie en tien van haar leden laten zien wat de stand van zaken is op het gebied van glas- en functioneel printen.
ESMA at glasstec 2016:
The Perfect Match between Glass and Functional Printing
Leuven, 9th August 2016 – ESMA, the European Specialist Printing Manufacturers Association, will ex- hibit at glasstec 2016 together with 10 member companies. Their presence at the world’s largest trade fair for the glass industry and its suppliers will be marked by a showcase of the newest screen and digital deco- ration technologies. Located on 300 sqm, ESMA pavilion will welcome visitors in hall 12, with the central booth D49. The event takes place on 20-23 September 2016 at Messe Düsseldorf. Free vouchers for the ex- hibition are offered by the GlassPrint conference co-organised by ESMA and “Glass Worldwide” in 2017.
With the increasing range of applications that integrate speciality and functional printing on glass, the com- position of ESMA pavilion at glasstec changes as well. In comparison to the last exhibition in 2014, three new companies are participating and two joined the pavilion specifically because of the stronger group image. “Glass is regaining its importance for printing and not only in terms of surface decoration for flat and hollow products. Today, glass becomes the perfect match for printed electronics unlocking new applications and new possibilities. The revolution sparked by ultrathin glass and non-contact printing techniques means that also digital inkjet has a lot to offer in the glass industry,” says Peter Buttiens, CEO of ESMA.
10 members in the pavilion – representing screen and digital
ESMA organises its pavilion for the fourth time and the three islands in hall 12 will feature following member companies:
- Gallus-Heidelberg (booth C49-2); presenting new areas of business for industrial print on glass. New is the Phoenix 800 Fast which provides an extremely cost-effective solution for imaging of high-quality printing forms whether for screen, letterpress, flexo, pad or offset printing. It is suitable for imaging Gallus Screeny screen printing plates as well as stencils with light-sensitive coating from other manufacturers.
- KIWO (D49-4); for the first time presenting an inkjet-compatible sputter resist for architectural and in- terior glasses. The resist is compatible with large format digital printers for the flat glass industry which opens up new opportunities.

A group of key major print industry brands and industry trade bodies have spoken out in strong support of The Print Show, highlighting the many benefits visitors and exhibitors alike can enjoy by attending the event.
Having established itself as a key event on the UK calendar after last year’s very successful debut event, The Print Show is now generating even more interest amongst industry members ahead of its second edition this year, which runs at the NEC in Birmingham from October 11th to 13th.
“The Print Show is now a tried, tested, and successful event and that speaks volumes in its second year. They key ethos of the show is that we have the interests of the industry at heart and have created an event that is a direct reflection of the UK’s commercial print supply chain,” says event director Chris Davies, who adds: “Being part of the same group as Print Monthly magazine, we really have a feel for what the industry wants in a trade show as we are in continuous engagement with printers, suppliers, and manufacturers alike. The shape and direction of the show is also based on hard data generated through conducting surveys through our six person telesales team, who twice a year now call through our entire 20,000 plus strong database of companies across the graphics arts industry.”
With under 150 days to go until the show opens its doors, leading individuals from a number of exhibitors and trade bodies have issued a call to the industry to attend The Print Show this year.
One major industry figure championing The Print Show is Charles Jarrold, chief executive officer of the British Printing Industries Federation (BPIF), one of the many trade bodies that supported the debut event last year.
“We know our members want to network and be exposed to new technologies and ideas; The Print Show provides an ideal arena for these two needs to be met simultaneously,” Jarrold said.
“For exhibitors, many associates of ours, it gives them a chance to show off their latest offering and have real time, face to face conversations with customers. For visitors, the Printer Bazaar demonstrating the latest niche print technology in action, is sure to be an attraction and it’s great that print’s heritage is being celebrated in Traditional Print Masterclasses.
“We are looking forward to talking to printers about how, by working together, we can improve their bottom line, ensure they stay compliant, and provide the best training to their employees.”
Also keen to highlight the benefits of attending is Sidney Bobb, chairman of the British Association for Print and Communication (BAPC). Bobb said: “The BAPC is eagerly looking forward to the 2016 Print Show which is where visitors will see at close hand the latest technology, unique ideas for production and business development and at the same time have an opportunity to meet with peers and suppliers all under one roof. The show also provides exhibitors with the ideal occasion to talk to existing customers and of course serious prospects the chance to meet with existing customers and prospects.”
Neil Lovell, chief executive of event partner The Printing Charity, has also spoken out in support of show, saying: “The Print Show promotes the innovation and creativity in today’s UK print industry and is a valuable platform for exhibitors and prospective customers to meet. Last year’s inaugural event was an ideal opportunity for The Printing Charity to promote our work to exhibitors and visitors. We’ll be using this year’s event to build on those relationships and make new contacts.”
Elsewhere, Jonathan Tame, country manager at Print Power and Two Sides, was also highly supportive of the show, highlighting the benefits of visiting. He said: “The world of print is changing, both in new and emerging technologies and in the way businesses communicate with their customers. The Print Show is hugely important, connecting our industry and showcasing innovative solutions through the value chain of print, from manufacturers, printers to the buyers of print media. On last year’s success The Print Show 2016 can only be more impactful, and we will be there to support the event and extol the benefits of print media.”
Aside from trade body partners, a number of major brands that exhibited at the show last year, and will be returning in October, have also spoken warmly about the event.
Bernard Cassidy, market development manager, production print for Konica Minolta, said: “The inaugural event far surpassed our expectations and we are setting the bar high this year. The Print Show brings all of the key players in our industry together in one place.
“It’s the perfect platform for us to showcase new products, solutions and services and conduct hands-on demonstrations. But, more, importantly, exhibitions provide us with opportunity to engage with people face-to-face, whether that’s to build on already strong existing customer and partner relationships, make new connections, or engage with potential buyers.”
Tatsuo Murakami, managing director of Riso UK, also said: “When you choose a show to attend, you need to have confidence that it will deliver a return on investment, not necessarily immediately, but in the long-term too. You need to know that it will help you build beneficial relationships.
“The Print Show has proved that it is one of the shows that you need to be at. The footfall figures, with senior people in attendance, make it a place to be for manufacturers such as Riso. Visitors can see some of the latest print technology and solutions on show.
“It makes sense to be part of something that shines the spotlight on print, but it’s also where people talk and that is where the real business benefit is.”
Also in attendance last year and returning this year is OKI, whose marketing manager, Andrew Hall, said: “OKI participated in the inaugural Print Show in 2015. We had a very successful event and generated well over 30 orders for our Pro Series products.
“Since last year’s show, we have grown our portfolio of Graphic Arts products to now include wide-format and two new additions to the Pro range with neon and white under devices. Based on this, we have decided to take a much larger stand at this year’s event.
“The quality of visitors was exceptional and hopefully 2016 will see a greater footfall based on last year’s success.”

In haar Verdigris Blog belicht Laurel Brunner het goede milieunieuws van bedrijven zoals Fujifilm, Agfa en Kodak die de nieuwe ISO 50001 standaard ondersteunen. Koploper is Fujifilm dat voor zijn nieuwe fabriek in Tilburg, Nederland, alleen gebruik maakt van elektriciteit opgewekt door windturbines.
Lees in haar blog op onze artikelenpagina hoe de schokgolf van het nieuwe onze planeet kan redden.

Within the graphics industry there are numerous examples of companies’ efforts to improve energy generation and management. And there is ISO 50001, the standard for energy management to which companies such as Agfa and Kodak have certified compliance. But Fujifilm has gone far beyond these efforts at its Tilburg facility entirely powered with renewable energy generated by wind turbines. Employing around 850 people this site is one of Fujifilm’s largest manufacturing sites outside of Japan, producing photo paper, offset plates and membranes.
Fujifilm’s ambitious transition to convert to 100% renewable energy started in 2011, when the company added a third production line for producing low chemistry and processless plates at the Tilburg site. Eneco, a Dutch energy provider in the region and working in partnership with Fujifilm, started supplying the company with energy generated by five wind turbines. These wind turbines provided 20% of Fujifilm’s requirements. At around the same time, Fujifilm installed a balanced Co-generative Thermal Oxidiser (CTO) to incinerate waste solvent and in the process to generate additional electricity. The CTO’s energy helped to drive the plate production lines, supplementing the wind power generated on site and reducing Fujifilm’s emissions by 5,500 tonnes per year. But there was still more that could be done to move over entirely to renewables.
Today Fujifilm buys the entire output of the local Eneco wind turbines, so its plate production plant is completely wind powered. The turbines, located at the Fujifilm site as well as locations nearby in the Netherlands and Belgium, generate 100 gigiwatt hours of energy per year. This is enough to power the entire site, equivalent to 30,000 households, and the two companies are now looking at ways of producing biomass steam at the plant. The biomass steam will be a more sustainable replacement for the gas which currently fuels the Tilburg factory’s heating. Fujifilm and Eneco are also looking at other potential cooperations in the Brabant region.
Controversies or doubts over the viability of renewable energy and its value, distract us from the urgency of moving to alternative models. Renewable energy sources are the way forward and their use should be encouraged in partnership with industry. The more we can all do to develop creative ideas for energy generation and supply the better.
Investment into energy partnerships makes considerable sense for manufacturers in high energy sectors such as printing. Partnership provides the means of supporting business and employees at a local level, with projects often linked to local efforts to improve environmental footprints and energy infrastructures. Partnerships don’t necessarily make investments future proof, but they can make a substantial difference. Energy partnerships particularly help companies to strike the right balance between economic feasibility and sustainable business practises, and the long term interests of the planet.
