HP special cash back promotion on the Designjet L28500 or HP Designjet L26500 Printer at Sign & DigitalHP special cash back promotion on the Designjet L28500 or HP Designjet L26500 Printer at Sign & DigitalHP promises the first 50 Sign + Digital UK buyers of the recently introduced HP Designjet L28500 or HP Designjet L26500 Printer a special at-show cash back promotion subject to some terms and conditions. Sign + Digital UK is being held at the NEC, Birmingham, March 27th-29th.

The first 50 buyers to confirm their order at the company's stand (J10) will be given a golden ticket that entitles them to claim back £1,000 or £1,250 against the HP Designjet L28500 Printer and HP Designjet L26500 Printer.

Sign + Digital will host the first showing of these printers in the UK. Both machines were introduced to the market at the end of 2011 and their debut will spearhead HP’s extensive product line-up focusing on HP Latex technology.

Anne Sharp, HP Designjet category and marketing manager, UK and Ireland, said:

“We've been absolutely delighted with the market's response to our latest HP Latex printers and based on this, we expect them to raise an eyebrow or two among print service providers [PSPs] and sign businesses that make the trip to Sign + Digital UK.”

Sharp added:

“As our cash back promotion is only valid for Sign + Digital UK, we encourage any visitor looking to extend their services and save money on their next investment to come and take a closer look at the multitude of benefits offered by our latest large format print devices.”

The Designjet L28500 and L26500 feature HP 792 Latex Designjet Inks which produce rich blacks and glossy results on banners and self-adhesive vinyl. HP says they are ideal for point-of-purchase displays, soft signage, vehicle graphics and more. The company also stresses that a key benefit of HP latex inks is the ability to produce odourless prints which can enable PSPs to meet the changing needs of customers.

Caslon digital inkjet press printing labelsCaslon digital inkjet press printing labelsAt drupa 2012 (stand C18, Hall 5); FFEI Ltd, a global developer of digital imaging solutions, will showcase an expanded product portfolio including a new end-to-end digital labels solution. It will also launch its exclusive worldwide VIP Partner Programme, designed to extend the global availability of FFEI products. Based in Hemel Hempstead, UK, FFEI core technologies are inket, software, commercial CTP and newspaper CTP.

FFEI’s star attraction will be its new end-to-end digital labels solution which includes a Caslon digital inkjet press incorporating a new digital spot colour unit printing white ink, and FFEI’s latest RealPro Workflow software. These new products aim to enable label converters and digital print houses to partner with one technology supplier since all the components are designed to work together. FFEI says this will allow companies to move into the profitable market of small-to-medium run labels with confidence due to greatly reduced business risk and disruption.

“Following a major investment programme we are very excited about presenting our portfolio at this year’s show,” Andy Cook, managing director, FFEI, said. “Our new digital labels solution, specifically, is expected to create significant market interest, representing a much needed ‘door opener’ to increased business growth for flexo or digital print shops alike. Having already received an excited early welcome from both the market and potential reseller partners for this solution, and our extended portfolio, we look forward to exploring future collaboration and presenting the benefits of our new VIP Partner Programme at the show.”

Caslon, a digital colour inkjet press jointly developed between FFEI and Nilpeter A/S, can be installed as part of a traditional narrow web label press or alternatively, utilised as a standalone digital inkjet system, converting high quality labels up to 420mm web widths, at 25 m/min rising to 50 metres (dependent on resolution).

Another new for drupa 2012, and available from FFEI and reseller partners, is an additional Caslon digital spot colour unit that prints digital UV-curable white ink for printing on a wide range of substrates. The company says this new capability eliminates the need to pre-print white ink via a traditional press – shortening production times, minimising cost and providing increased job control.

In addition, FFEI Caslon customers will have the opportunity to benefit from the newly enhanced RealPro Workflow System, a fully automated production solution for commercial, digital and label printers. New specialised labelling and packaging features enable seamless integration with the Caslon digital inkjet press, providing users with the ability to centralise control of their files and intelligently output them via the most cost efficient route, whether on a digital or conventional output device, or a third party system.

Visitors to the FFEI stand at drupa 2012 will also be treated to live demonstrations of RealVue 3D Packager, an innovative 3D visualisation software solution for fast carton packaging or label prototyping as well as hearing more about FFEI’s market-leading CTP range.

The Canon drupa 2008 standThe Canon drupa 2008 stand

Multinational Canon is preparing for a major presence at this years drupa exhibition (Mary 3rd–16th Dusseldorf). Its stand will be the event’s fourth largest and will also incorporate Océ as part of the Canon group.

At 3,750m2 the company said it would dominate Hall 8a, its exhibition spot (Stand C06 – 1).

The full range of Canon and Océ technology will be on view. The company believes this will show customers the broadest portfolio of innovative professional print products and solutions available.

David Preskett, European professional print director, Canon Europe, says: “The depth of expertise and technology that Canon and Océ can now offer is very exciting. So for visitors to drupa who are looking for inspiration, I’d urge them to come to the Canon stand to see that there’s much more to print than printing.  As well as observing the latest Canon and Océ technology in action, they’ll also have access to valuable advice from independent business consultants and to fascinating insights about their customers.  Add to that the huge amount of print applications that will be on display and the Canon stand should be on the itinerary of every visitor looking for new opportunities to grow their business.”
