Dear reader,

the upcoming Ipex 2014 will be the world's most important print event this year – even if the trade show has shrunk due to a slew of withdrawals from well-known companies. Anyway, for sure it will not be boring in London at the end of March. In fact, the propagated realignment along with a clear commitment to print seems to bear fruits. Even if big names such as Heidelberg, KBA, Komori, Canon and Xerox are missing – many other companies are looking forward to the event, hoping that their innovations may now attract more attention. A lot of news has been announced in recent days and weeks. Read all about this and more in our current newsletter.


Sincerely,



 
PS: You will be attending IPEX, InPrint or Lope-C? We're looking forward to meeting you there. Please feel free to fix an appointment with us.
