Fespa 2017 stays true to reputation as world-class product launch platform

  • Publicado el 09 de Mayo de 2017

In the second week of May, the world's signmakers and graphics producers will gather at FESPA 2017's global print expo to see the latest technology, equipment, consumables and materials for speciality print at Messe Hamburg (8 - 12 May 2017).


Visitors to past FESPA exhibitions have been witness to significant global launches from major industry players. Memorable examples include the HP Scitex FB10000, Durst's Water Technology, the Océ Arizona 6100 series, the Agfa Jeti Mira and Jeti Tauro launches, EFI's VUTEk HSr press, the Inca Onset R50i UV Flatbed Printer and Mimaki's UJV55-320 printer, to name just a few.


FESPA CEO Neil Felton comments: "FESPA events have a deserved reputation as the leading global launch platform for wide format printing and signmaking technologies, and FESPA 2017 will be no exception. In the last few weeks, exhibitors from every product area have confirmed exciting debut products at this year's exhibition. Our own visitor research affirms that technology innovation is the leading driver for attending industry exhibitions, and that FESPA plays a vital role in shaping PSPs' investment plans. 41% of visitors to our 2015 global print expo in Cologne planned to invest within six months of attending, and with over 100 new products to be shown at FESPA 2017 we expect the exhibition to have a similar influence on technology implementation among speciality printers in the coming year."



With 10 halls and 1000 brands at FESPA 2017 and European Sign Expo, there are many exciting products, applications and solutions for visitors to uncover. Dedicated trails for textile printing, printed interior décor, corrugated and signage will guide visitors with an interest in these areas to the most relevant stands, highlighting solutions across all 10 halls. The show catalogue will also provide all necessary exhibitor information, as well as detailed floor plans to ensure visitors locate the suppliers and solutions they are looking for.


Finishing is expected to be a focus area for innovation, with end-to-end productivity and workflow automation an increasing consideration for PSPs. Launches identified so far include the SP2000 large-format laser cutter from Trotec (stand A1 C65), designed to handle a diverse range of signmaking and display materials such as acrylic, wood and textiles. Zünd (stand B7-D30) will showcase its G3 3XL-3200 cutting system, which is equipped with new technological advances designed to facilitate advancing and processing of rolled fabrics.


FESPA has consistently provided a comprehensive showcase for innovations in consumables, with new inks and media supporting PSPs' diversification into new application areas. Here too, exhibitors at FESPA 2017 have signalled new products, for example, Marabu's (stand B7-C60) new inks for screen, digital and pad printing, and Sun Chemical's (stand B5-D20) new FasciaCoat hardcoat varnish for dashboard fascia. J-Teck3 (stand A1, B64) will present its new series of textile pigment inks for Epson and Kyocera printheads.
