Premiere for the Canon Colorado 1630 and Canon Arizona 135 GT smart printers: at FESPA Global Print Expo 2021 from 12 to 15 October 2021 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Canon will show live and proverbial in colour what is possible when it comes to creative large format printing. The foretaste of the many possibilities will whet the appetite of sign makers and print service providers for Canon UV gel, the technology for matte and gloss finishes.

Restrictions on fully-vaccinated travellers to The Netherlands from designated ‘very high-risk countries’ will be lifted with effect from 22nd September 2021, meaning that printers and sign-makers from these countries can travel to FESPA Global Print Expo and European Sign Expo 2021 in Amsterdam (12-15 October 2021) without fear of needing to quarantine on arrival.

Originally due to take place at the end of September, the digital and screen printing fair will now be held in the new year from 7 – 9 January at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. The rescheduled dates are intended to provide greater certainty to participants over their travel plans.

Canon U.S.A. Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, is excited to announce the launch of the new Arizona 135 GT UV flatbed printer. This smart technology investment offers sign makers, print service providers and offset and screen printers, among others, new ways to fulfill business opportunities.

Hélio Corbeil is partnering with Electronics For Imaging, Inc. for a transition into digital printing by investing in an EFITM VUTEk h5 UV LED hybrid flatbed/roll-to-roll printer, an EFI VUTEk Q3r UV LED roll-to-roll printer, an EFI VUTEk FabriVU® 340i dye-sublimation printer, and EFI Pace MIS workflow software. The Paris-based company decided to enter the digital printing space to offer new services to existing customers as well as attract new customers.

The Schiele Group’s motto is “Print Smarter,” but with its recent acquisition of an EFI VUTEk h5 superwide-format inkjet solution from Electronics For Imaging, Inc., it could easily become “Print Faster.”
