Forecast for drupa: cloudy and a lot of digital hype

Drupa is starting to day, and against tradition is not going to be a warm drupa. The other problem for visitors is the gigantic hype around digital printing. One can easily forget offset and flexo are in many cases the best way to put ink on paper.

Interesting is digital printing for sure. And a visit to the Heidelberg hall to see the new Primefire is a must. As is visiting the HP hall, now the biggest exhibitor, in this enormous hall you can see every digital output technique in every printing format possible. Also worth a visit is the booth of Screen with the complete line of Truepress digital presses and Xerox where the Rialto, the affordable Rialto small web press is getting company with new sheetfed digital presses. Maybe even more interesting digital developments are to find in the DIP pavilion where small and big companies are showing workflow and automating solutions that not only can lower the cost of printing and the time to produce print but also can find and keep customers like the Agfa Arkitex software for packaging.

So you are warrend for 11 days drupa, 11 days I will follow from a warm Jerez de la Frontera Behind the Geranium (read here the special Drupa Magazine), supported by team of Blokboek.com, booth EN06 North Entrance, that will put all the news on our special drupa page.
