The highlight from FESPA from this year is that we are all about applications, applications, applications”
From the Mimaki booth there were two very key highlights. The first was its industrial 180sq m/h textile printer the TS500, which sold its first unit within an hour of the doors opening on day one of FESPA. The second was its new UJV55, a 60sq m/h, 3m wide, LED UV printer.
As a final snapshot of the exhibition, what these three firms have in common is that they are all trailblazing, and that is what really defined FESPA 2016”
A final mention must also go to Kornit Digital, which is becoming an increasingly key player in the sector, and were a major presence at FESPA Digital as it launched a mid-level addition to its Storm range. The new Storm Hexa takes aspects previously only available on the high-productivity Avalanche series—such as an integrated humidifier, back-up battery system, and recirculated Polaris print heads—but provides them in a package at a more affordable level.
