InPrint 2014 in Hannover: Upcoming Event on Industrial Print Expected to Have a Major Impact on the Print Technology Sector

(PresseBox) (St Albans, )
InPrint 2014, the first trade exhibition exclusively dedicated to print solutions for industrial applications and manufacturing, takes place 8-10 April at Hannover Exhibition Grounds in Germany. The launch event is co-located with Hannover Messe 2014.

Suiting the rapidly growing industrial print market, InPrint is dedicated to demonstrate the wide scope of printing applications in a range of industrial processes. Exhibitors will showcase the latest printing machines and systems, inks, and accessories for printing on metal, plastics, foils, textiles, glass, ceramics, woods, and other surfaces. Visitors can look forward to a large number of exhibits and live demonstrations in the following key areas: Speciality, Screen, Digital, Inkjet and 3D.

The most comprehensive collection of industrial print technology in the world
The exhibitor line-up features more than 100 leading brand names and innovative niche companies from the printing sector, including Agfa, Caldera, Canon, Durst, Epson, Fujifilm, Konica Minolta, Huntsman, Hymmen, Kiian, Lumejet, Machines Dubuit, Mimaki, Marabu, Neschen, Nor-Cote, Ricoh, SPGPrints, Stratasys, Thieme, Xaar, Xennia, and Zünd. „At InPrint, you will be able to see the most comprehensive collection of industrial print technology anywhere in the world”, explains Marcus Timson, Co-Director InPrint. “We are proud to present a genuinely ground breaking new event for a technology sector that has not had its own show before.”

The wide range of show displays includes: Advanced inkjet technology for surface imaging, functional layers and coating of products with varying production volumes and fast changing designs, such as flooring, laminates, ceramics, textiles or self-adhesive films; Screen printing equipment for high quality print on packaging, photovoltaics, or consumer electronics, especially for the production of touch screens; 3D printing mainly used for prototyping, modelling, packaging, food printing, and printed products directly made out of the original material; Special inks, solvents and print heads building the base for any successful printing application; Accessories and special solutions to integrate a technically demanding printing procedure efficiently into the manufacturing line, such as print-to-cut workflow programmes, fluid management, software solutions or robotics.

Key industry platform for technical excellence and bespoke machinery for a strategically important market
InPrint is designed as a networking and business event for print providers who seek to improve their print production process or realise new print applications for their industrial customers. “For any manufacturing business, it is vital to understand the endless possibilities with print technologies in the making of consumer products, whether it is a tablet or car dashboard, soft furnishings or fashion textiles, ceramic tiles or solar panels, or a 3D model of a new machine part. Industrial companies have realised that print can do much more than just colourful images. The ability to create technical and functional layers offers immense potential for better, faster and more efficient manufacturing”, explains Marcus Timson.

The complexity of industrial production requires a print of very high quality. Technology is evolving fast to fulfil the high standards, and there is a clear trend to move from standardised technology towards bespoke machinery to suit the specific demands of each customer. “Print machine makers are working hard to open the market, pushing technology forwards and trying to adapt their product range to the real needs of their clients”, says Frazer Chesterman, Co-Director InPrint. “InPrint offers a great opportunity to meet those print equipment manufacturers in person and discuss individual requirements as well as general preferences for future developments in print technology. Expectations are high as everyone feels the excitement and strategical importance of exploring the opportunities of the industrial print market. This is a crucial moment for the industry, and it will be interesting to see how this technology sector will develop through the InPrint show.”
