Andreas Tietz Editor Der Druckspiegel / PrintMirror |
Dear reader,
it is a commitment that the organizers of Ipex had hoped to secure from other large and important companies for 2014: After a string of cancellations of many global players in the printing industry, it is now the digital printing manufacturer Konica Minolta, who has committed their fair appearance with an extensive investment due to the realignment of Ipex. This shows two things: first, that this realignment was necessary and secondly, that this change may have come too late, at least for Ipex 2014. The European trade fair landscape is undergoing a structural change in the printing and media landscape. Other interesting topics are summarized in our news selection below. Sincerely,
