Digital Printing-Inkjet Sheetfed

EFI, Domino, Scodix, Omet, Absolute Printing Equipment, Infigo Software and KAMA joined a list of industry leading sponsors at the second annual Digital Packaging Summit. The Summit is designed for senior managers and business executives who want to understand how current and future digital production printing, finishing technology, software and solutions will impact their business and investment decisions.

Producers of the Digital Packaging Summit and Inkjet Summit, NAPCO Media (parent company of packagePRINTING) and nGage Events, have announced that HP has signed on to sponsor both events for the next two years.

During EFI's Graph Expo press conference, CEO Guy Gecht discussed the debate over whether the online force is good or bad for the printing industry.

Xerox, KBA, Kodak, Ricoh, Gallus and Rollem are among the several industry suppliers that have joined the Digital Packaging Summit 2016 as sponsors. The Digital Packaging Summit will be held Oct. 31 - Nov. 2 in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.

In the recent packagePRINTING webinar, "Digital Corrugated: The Birth of a New Disruptive Technology," Craig Bradley and Robert Sweet of Bennett discussed the factors that led to their adoption of digital printing. Bennett, a leading corrugated converter based in Kansas City, operates the only Barberán Jetmaster 1680 in North America.

EFI has announced that its U.S. Inkjet Center will relocate to a new, state-of-the-art facility in Londonderry, N.H. The new location will offer closer access to multiple airports and closer proximity to talent in the Greater Boston area.

Digital printing for corrugated packaging may be in its infancy, but with the rich colors and sharp graphics Bennett produced on this Welch's display, the Kansas City-based converter earned second place in the Best of Show category in the 30th annual packagePRINTING Excellence Awards.

Landa Digital Printing has joined the PIA's Post Drupa Report as a presenter and panelist. The event will be held Thursday, Aug. 18 in New York City.

Mark Michelson, editor-in-chief of Printing Impressions, spoke with Yishai Amir, CEO of Landa Corp., about the company's plans for the rollout of its Nanographic digital presses in the United States.
