Andreas Tietz Editor Der Druckspiegel / PrintMirror |
Dear reader,
trade shows are being cancelled, shortened or exhibitors are not going. Here the world in Lucerne at the Hunkeler Innovationdays seems to be be in order. I am still reeling from the impression of the packed event, that reminds me of those I knew from the past. Even the organizers, the Hunkeler AG, have indicated that they are doing well. The Swiss company has the luxury problem that the event for the digital paper processing is bursting at the seams. The event goes until Friday. We will keep you posted over our various channels - print, website, newsletter, etc. And as always, you can find a selection of what else has been happening, below. Sincerely, 
PS: It is not too late to advertise in our next international edition that will be distributed at China Print and Printtek, if you send us an email now at info@druckspiegel.de for more information. |
