Soyang, a UK-based partner of Fujifilm, recently hosted an Open House event to showcase the remarkable capabilities of the ‘superwide’ (5m) Acuity Ultra R2 roll-fed printer to customers in its showroom.

As a highly respected wide format materials supplier looking to enter into hardware sales, Soyang initially partnered with Fujifilm in mid-2022 to become a distributor of the Acuity Ultra R2 in the UK.

When Fespa opens its doors in Munich on 23 May, Canon will be there with its latest developments. The focus at this year's Global Print Expo will be on the recently launched Canon Colorado M web presses, a new Arizona flatbed press with also a new software suite, and the imagePROGRAF GP 4000 R2R systems. Many of the point of sale applications, interior decorations and personalised packaging that can be produced with these as a priority will be created "live and in colour" on site at the exhibition stand in Hall B2, Stand B10.

At Communikay Graphics, exceptional customer service is in its DNA. One example is a live person answering the phone at the Alvin, Texas-based company. While uncommon in today’s business world, it’s the standard operating procedure for all incoming calls.

After much anticipation, the fair opens its doors from 16 – 18 May 2023 to stimulate market recovery and boost industry confidence. Marking a 55% increase from its debut edition in 2020, 318 exhibitors representing over 500 brands, will showcase their latest digital and screen printing innovations in Halls 9.3 & 10.3 of Area B, China Import and Export Fair Complex, Guangzhou.

Epson's series of SL-D500 compact photo production printers has become one of a small percentage of entrants to win a Best of the Best award, the highest distinction in the Red Dot: Product Design 2023 awards. This marks the fourth time that Epson has won Best of the Best.

Recently, Matriflexo (Ecuador) installed Agfa’s large-format Jeti Tauro H2500 LED inkjet printer to meet the high productivity demands of their clients.

Matriflexo was founded 25 years ago and has 100 employees. They print on all types of rigid and flexible materials: displays, signage, labels, etc. Over the years, they have become a reference in the Ecuadorian market. Backing up up the company’s slogan "We turn ideas into packaging", quality, automation, training, speed, and creativity are key.

The show will continue to play a vital part in further enabling the printing and signage sector in the Middle East and Africa region during its 26th edition. As always the show has generated interest within exhibitors from across the globe. SGI Dubai 2023 will have a special emphasis on new developments in digital signage, with exhibits of cutting-edge products from well-known manufacturers who will be showcasing some ground-breaking innovations there.

FESPA has invested in a new event app to help visitors maximise their time at FESPA Global Print Expo, European Sign Expo and Personalisation Experience (23-26 May 2023, Messe Munich, Germany).

The Canon imagePROGRAF TC-20 and its M version, launched in January and April 2023, have received the seal of approval for first-class design: the iF Design Award. The award documents that not only the "inner values" count, but also the outer impression. This is particularly pleasing for those for whom this series was designed, namely design-oriented users such as architects or designers.

Agfa is set to showcase a new roll-to-roll printing module on its fastest multi-pass wide-format inkjet printer family, the Tauro H3300 LED, at FESPA in Munich from 23-26 May. The compact Flex RTR allows for swift switching between rigid and flexible media, maintaining high productivity levels.
