UK digital print technology supplier Xeretec to
showcase Xerox digital print technology
A packed Duplo stand at The Print Show 2016 is an indicator
why the manufacturing heavyweight has returned to exhibit
EXHIBITIONS
“Not only is it important to be present
at The Print Show, but last year’s was very
successful for Xeretec,” she said. “It proved
to be a very busy event with good footfall
and it was attended by an audience that
was perfect for us.
“More than that, it served as a chance
for us to catch up with many of our
existing customers to talk about their
changing print requirements, as well as an
opportunity to meet with potential new
customers.
“We think the Xeretec stand hit the
right spot with visitors, too. Our Web-
2-Print demonstrations and the fun of
our racing car simulator kept the visitors
coming and kept us busy. To that end,
we made several important sales on the
day, and we had lots of leads to follow
up on afterwards, which helped toward a
favourable return on investment.”
She added: “The Print Show presented
a great opportunity to engage with our
customers and potential new clients. It
is always interesting to find out more
about their business, while spending time
advising them on how our print solutions
can help them to grow their business.”
Bayne also gave an insight into what
visitors can expect on the Xeretec stand
at The Print Show 2017. Xerox equipment
due to be featured in October includes
the new Xerox Versant 180 and the Xerox
Versant 3100, which are replacing the
popular Versant 80 and Versant 2100.
“At The Print Show this year, we’re
looking to build on the success we enjoyed
in 2016, while helping commercial printers
reach their business objectives with the
range of services and solutions that
Xeretec offers,” she said.
Debut for HP
HP, who is set to make its debut
appearance at the show, has revealed
further details of what visitors to the
International Centre can expect this
October.
HP hopes to appeal to those visitors
on the lookout for kit that can help them
diversify into new markets and access
profitable, large-format work. The digital
print giant will also be spreading the word
about its hugely popular Indigo technology.
Anne Sharp, Marketing Manager,
large-format printing in the UK and Ireland
for HP, said: “HP sees The Print Show
as a strategically important event for us
this year in terms of connecting with our
customers within the graphics printing
market.
“HP will guide visitors through the
world of applications through the HP
WallArt Suite platform, an easy and
innovative web-to-print experience
designed to help small-to-medium
sized print service providers in the
decoration space and explore new
possibilities to express yourself through
custom wallcoverings, blinds, and other
applications for interiors in the HP
application area.”
She added: “We will be showcasing
our HP Latex technology and PageWide
XL range, with a key focus on applications
both from our large-format business and
Indigo business.”
The finishing touch
Duplo, which also recently confirmed its
commitment to the show for a second
consecutive year, is hoping to replicate the
success it enjoyed at the 2016 edition.
Much like last year, Duplo will be
demonstrating various solutions to visitors
in attendance at the International Centre,
demonstrating how this technology can
help strengthen the finishing stage of the
production process.
Duplo UK Marketing Manager Sarah
Crumpler, said: "The Print Show is another
perfect opportunity for us to showcase
our print finishing systems and solutions.
Exhibitions provide a great opportunity to
get face-to-face with our customers in a
focused environment proven by the success
we had at The Print Show in 2016.
“We’ll be showcasing and
demonstrating how our systems can
ensure operations develop the most
efficient, productive and profitable post
press environments – all with automated
precision. We have had very successful
shows in the past and are looking forward
to building on that and presenting our
latest additions to new and existing
customers.”
Impressive line-up
Digital printer manufacturer InkTec Europe,
has also announced that it will exhibit this
year. The company is aiming to follow up
on the recent launch of the new Jetrix LXi8,
a 3.2m-wide flatbed that can run at speeds
of up to 206sq m/hr.
Since it was confirmed that HP will
appear at the show this year, organisers
have secured the signature of no less
than 16 others exhibitors. In addition to
both Xeretec and InkTec Europe, the likes
of InnoPrinter, Nova Chrome, Z-Card,
Flexpress, Supervane, The Finishing Point
and Merlin Transfers have signed up.
