Held every two years to alternate with drupa and Ipex the Hunkeler innovation days has become a primary global event for digital print finishing, with virtually every digital print developer present and showing integrated print and finishing solutions.
Growing interest on the part of suppliers as well as visitors has prompted Hunkeler to extend the event from four to five days. Some 80 exhibitors, including leading digital printing system manufacturers and well-known suppliers from the finishing, consumables and IT sectors, are expected to present their latest products, in over 75,000 square feet of exhibition space.
According to Hunkeler integrated total solutions will be demonstrated to address every aspect of workflow, within every industry segment. Technical advances will usher in cost savings and introduce new developments in digital printing and document finishing. The company says everyone stands to gain something when the worldwide experts of digital printing and paper processing gather to present a wide range of practical market-focused solutions.
The previous Hunkeler innovationdays in 2011 had more than 5,000 people in attendance — a clear indication that digital printing is having an impact and attracting more interest in traditional markets. According to Stefan Hunkeler, president, Hunkeler, “Innovationdays provides an opportunity every two years for company owners and managers, worldwide, to gather together, discuss, and see first-hand the entire picture when it comes to the state of development in modern digital finishing.”
He added, “At Hunkeler, we’re confident that the 2013 event will prove to be yet another essential information and communication platform.”
Plans are well underway to present the finest automated prepress and postpress paper handling solutions available under one roof for what the company claims will be another impressive event.
