Intelligent Finishing Systems (IFS) took a small stand in the IPIA Village at The Print Show 2015, but has decided it wants a larger presence this time around, to better accommodate its wide-ranging portfolio.

Managing director Bryan Godwyn comments: “IFS is committed to supporting operations of all sizes across the UK in creating efficient and cost effective bindery operations. To that end, we have developed a broad portfolio of systems from leading industry manufacturers such as Horizon, Perfecta, Foliant, Durselen, Petratto, SCS and Tecnau.

“We have also worked hard to develop long-standing relationships with customers that result in them coming back to us time and again when investment is required. Crucial, too, is starting conversations with operations we don’t know that well, which is why events like The Print Show are so important.”

Returning exhibitors plumping for an increased presence seems to be an emerging theme, as OKI Systems UK goes bigger for year two, taking a larger stand and showcasing more products.

Marketing manager at OKI Andrew Hall says: “Overall, we had a very successful show last year and with the advancement in our portfolio have chosen to return with a bigger and better stand to compliment this.




“OKI will be demonstrating our newly launched Pro6410 NeonColor printer, our award-winning white toner technology, multi-award-winning five-colour technology and the renowned ColorPainter large format printers including the H3-104s and M-64s.

“We have positioned our portfolio of Graphic Arts products as a 'Business in a Box', by that we mean that any printer, commercial or small copy shop can be up and running and producing short run on demand and personalised output, without huge set up costs and investment.”

The upward trajectory of the show reaffirms its importance in the industry. It is not just another exhibition, but an integral support system for UK print, seeking to help businesses navigate the choppy waters of a post-recession, post-Brexit world, and bringing them face-to-face with the latest innovations shaping the market.

Godwyn shares the optimism and enthusiasm that is at the heart of the event’s ethos, adding: “If last year is anything to go by, we are looking forward the hustle and bustle of an event that attracts a great deal of industry positivity and encourages investment in long term productivity and profitability.”

 

 
Hall of OKI echoes these sentiments, concluding: “We are extremely excited about this year's Print Show, which promises to be an interesting platform for innovative printing technology and encourage anyone looking to expand their portfolio of offerings within the graphic arts and creative businesses to commercial print and copy shops to visit and experience for themselves the latest in print technology.

“With live product demonstrations on the OKI stand, visitors will be able to see first-hand how OKI’s commitment to innovation can provide businesses with practical yet lucrative new revenue streams.”

The good news is that anyone that did not get the opportunity to make it to Drupa in Dusseldorf earlier this year will have the chance to see a lot of the products launched and displayed there at the event. The Print Show may not share the magnitude of the industry’s largest trade exhibition—but it is heading in the right direction.
