Exhibition in March looks good to go.
It appears that Sign & Digital UK 2015 seems to be really pulling in an increasing number of exhibitors this year. That’s a good sign, and a good indicator that Faversham House, the event organizers, are really pushing the boat out on this exhibition.

With the festive holidays fast approaching, it’s time to take stock of 2014 and hear the views of printers and suppliers about how they saw 2014.

Winter SunThe early winter afternoon sunshine brings a nice glow to an otherwise bleak and dark day, cascading with rain, except for those endless e-mails, half of which are rubbish.

The ‘shigure 時雨’(winter drizzle, sleet) is a Japanese kigo (a word or phrase associated with a particular season, used in Japanese poetry related to this kind of early cold rain in the overlapping time from autumn to winter) which thankfully didn’t hinder ‘DPNlive’ co-publisher, Bob Tallent, from attending the official opening of Ricoh’s new Customer Experience Centre in Telford, just outside Birmingham on the 4 November 2014.
Ricoh's investment in this state of the art facility is designed to showcase the company’s machines and technology in real-life situations to the print industry.

On the other side of the scale, the end of autumn in Europe has now produced a plethora of pre Christmas road shows, special offers, and other promotions from large format suppliers to entice potential new and current customers to ‘trade in’, or upgrade their machinery to ‘the latest’!
A sign of the times, pure competiveness, or a strong indication that the industry is still in recession, no matter what the hype in the media suggests!
DPNlive would like to hear your views.

Builders on a beamThere seems to be a mixed consensus that in tune with the recent improvement in the general Irish economy, albeit not mirrored across many countries in Europe recently, wide format print is on the ‘UP’!
Editorial CommentWhite edifices, my lovely silver birch trees are bare of leaves now, shadowed by their background of beech hedging surrounding the front fence. Its well into autumn and even those are changing colour.
