Its chief executive officer Dilawar Dalwai said, “Lots of customers are coming next week to visit the office then finalize deals.” Amit Radia, chief executive officer of Atlas Group, said: “This year, Gulf Print & Pack was very focused, and with a wide variety of equipment on show. Considering the market environment, it was great to see such a positive response from the attendees. I be-

lieve we are seeing light at the end of the tunnel for the print industry in the region and those who have reinvented themselves will see positive growth after the last few challenging years.”

They are still calculating the combined worth of transactions as a large number of business deals will be finalized shortly. The introduction of the Innovation Trail, with live machinery and technology demonstrations at this year’s show, was aimed at making Gulf Print & Pack 2019 visitors see just what’s possible and experience the latest technologies and trends in the market live in action. This re-

ally paid off, as we received positive feedback from visitors about the demonstrations throughout the entire four days of the show, which is fantastic.”

The seminars we hosted in the dedicated presentation area on our stand were likewise well attended.”

This was also reflected in visitor feedback. Kimi Yang, business development director, Chen Lui Printing Press, China, said: “We are delighted with the caliber of the business people who we’ve met at this event. This exhibition has provided quality leads. We had some very interesting discussions immediately after our visit to certain stands.

We will definitely share this with other businesses in China. We are definitely looking forward to visit again.”

Digital Display Technologies Set to be a Game Changer The fifth edition of SGI Dubai ‘Knowledge Series’ brought the industry stakeholders to discuss the impending opportunities and also the challenges faced by the digital display technology industries.

The forum had a representation from prominent international and regional brands including LG, GE, EPSON, Al Risq Advertising and ENO Digital Signage among others.

Currently, the global digital signage market is valued at $20.8 billion and is expected to grow to $29.6 billion by 2024 at a CAGR of 7.3%.

With several mega expositions and events being planned in the region, the digital signage industry is set to fast track its growth trajectory. Participants at the 5th edition of Knowledge Series aired their views on having a consortium or a platform in the near future, that would have a database of verified vendors right from the hardware supplier to content developers and integrators.

“Based on the discussion during the knowledge series, SGI Dubai has decided to create a dedicated Digital Display Technology pavilion that would include all the

manufacturers and players within this ecosystem from across the globe,” said Sharif Rahman, CEO, International Expo Consults.

Several vertical industries including healthcare, hospitality, retail, education, aviation, exhibitions and events are the potential target market for the players within the digital signage marketplace. The participants also felt that the potential and the market share of the indoor digital display market will continue to remain higher in the UAE than outdoor.

“SGI Dubai 2020, the leading event for the printing and signage industry aims to play a significant role in the growth of the digital display market in the Middle East. This is the future and it will definitely redefine the way signages are going to be viewed in the next few years,” added Sharif. As compared to other categories, the digital signage and display technology industry will prove to be a game changer and the segment is expected to grow further in the UAE and across the GCC region. Saudi Arabia is another huge market for the players within this industries due to the current

reforms taking place within the Kingdom across several industries including the Cinemas and entertainment.

The rising demand of OLED displays, 4K and 8K displays and infrastructure development have also given a boost in the arm to this digital market. Furthermore, the need for eco-friendly alternate to signage as well as development of cost-effective technology is expected to play a major role in the growth of this segment. The participants also felt that there is a global need for standardization and that organisations should collaborate to arrive at this solution.

The lack of standardization in terms of technology, format and software has restrained the growth of the global digital display market.

With the upcoming 23rd edition of the show, International Expo Consults, the organisers of the show would like to unveil a new format of the show, which is relevant and caters to the latest trends in the marketplace. SGI Dubai 2020 is scheduled to take place from January 12th to 14th in Halls 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8 at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

UAEBBY and Italian Experts Discuss Child-Appropriate Content in Books

8

The diversity of topics that concern children’s literature, including content sensitivity, silent (wordless picture) books, and ways to further develop the tactile books industry to elevate the knowledge and experiences of young readers, have been tackled by the UAE Board on Books for Young People (UAEBBY) at three intellectual discussions they hosted during their participation at the Turin International Book Fair (TIBF 2019). The discussions were part of ‘Sharjah Guest of Honour’ celebrations.

The panels laid special emphasis on the content and techniques used in books designed for differently-

abled and refugee children. In the first discussion, titled, ‘Books, Children and the Dark Side’, was moderated by Eman Mohammed, and featured Emirati Author Alia Al Shamsi, and Italian researcher and author, Dr. Marcella Terrusi.

The two literature experts analysed popular dark children’s classics and addressed questions about subjects that should be off limits for children’s books.

Both emphasised that the modern authors must explore their role in approaching new methods and writing techniques, that will turn the violence and hardships in dark classics into something suitable

for children. They also presented examples of Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Pinocchio, and other international stories, that modified their plots or conclusions to make them more suited to young readers.

Noting that parents have a key role in protecting children from violent or other inappropriate content, the speakers also shed light on need for stronger dialogue and negotiation between the author and publisher in creating quality content that will ignite young imaginations through themes of love, empathy and understanding, and at the same time, educate them about the realities of life.

Al Yousuf 3D Printing Launches Doob in UAE Al Yousuf 3D Printing, a subsidiary of Al Yousuf Group, has announced the arrival of Doob, a full-service 3D technology company that creates replicas of you utilising the latest 3D printing technology, to the UAE.Founded in Dusseldorf, Germany, Doob is a frontrunner in digital scanning technology and the concept is currently present in New York (US), Los Angeles (US), Tokyo (Japan), Berlin (Germany), Sydney (Australia), Barcelona (Spain) and even Bahrain.Doob 3D Technology in Dubai was inaugurated by Helal Al Marri, director general – department of tourism and commerce marketing and director general – Dubai World Trade Centre Authority.

“We are excited to have the BDR team on board and to fully support

their industry-leading customers,” said EFI Reggiani Vice President and General Manager Adele Genoni. “The synergies arising with BDR and the world-class portfolio of EFI Reggiani textile printers will be a key point of emphasis for us to continue providing high-quality products and innovation.

ColorGATE Announces Cooperation with X-Rite Pantone

of spectral data descriptions. This enables brands and designers to communicate color palettes across substrates and printing processes.

By using ColorGATE´s implementation of PantoneLIVE, producers and brand owners gain access to a wide range of digital industrial print devices for label printing, direct-to-object decoration as well as digital printing presses for corrugated packaging. In addition to the wide range of derived Pantone color definitions, it is also possible for brands to create and define custom color palettes and share

those with everyone involved in the production process, from the design concept to finishing, via the cloud.

In addition to the PantoneLIVE support, ColorGATE will release the new Spectral Spot Module that enables spectral characterization of spot colors both for commercial and industrial printing applications and thus improves reproduction accuracy, especially when reproduced using digital printing.

The module supports spot color descriptions in CxF/X4 format according to ISO 179972-4.

ME‌Printer May 2019

Spectral characterization of spot colors is necessary for both commercial and industrial printing applications to ensure brand color consistency across the entire process chain. Without spectral data, the sharing of spot colors through the supply chain can be ambiguous leading to color inconsistencies, rework and added waste. This is especially true when producing digitally-printed packaging or digital proofs for conventionally manufactured packaging, as brand owners are demanding a higher level of color accuracy and repeatability.

ColorGATE will support X-Rite’s PantoneLIVE cloud-based digital color standard ecosystem in its upcoming release. ColorGATE is offering the benefits of PantoneLIVE to proofing systems as well as digital production environments to help streamline color communication and improve production.

With PantoneLIVE, brand owners and producers have the option to receive relevant spot color definitions for non-standardized processes and substrates on the base

Barberán Shows New Tech at LIGNA 2019

Barberán, leader in the design and manufacture of industrial machinery for surfaces finishing will be introducing some of their latest developments for wood processing at LIGNA, that will be held the last week of May at Hannover, Germany. TrueTexture, the latest development for texture generation, which synchronizes images with a 3D effect creating panels with exceptional finishes, will undoubtedly be the star of the show.

This new treatment concept for panels allows to create haptic sensations and deepness effects over boards. Once it is applied it can be covered with a matte or glossy finish. This new system supposes a game change in terms of versatility, both in digital printing and in varnishing. Among the many applications that it can have, flooring stands out; it is specially fitted for it

thanks to the abrasion and shock high-resistance treatment.

As for digital printing, a printer will be showcased with 4/6 colors (CMYK + light cyan and light magenta). With increased color gamut and a better chromatic spectrum, it improves optical resolution, smoothes the tones, color transitions and metamerism, and optimizes ink costs. In conjunction with texture generation, these two will be two of the strongest bets Barberán will exhibit at Ligna.

Laminating machinery will also be shown, including some of the new capabilities. An indexing line featuring a gluing machine, a new cut and trimming system for the four edges of the panel and an indexing table, or a Compact Line HG, a laminating machine for high quality finishes that works with hotmelt glues and high gloss

foils, will be showcased. Another compact series module will also be in Hannover: the Compact Line Foil, which applies glue directly onto the foil, and allows edges posforming at the exit of the table.

The Inert Coat is the main bet for the varnishing department. This machine is based on the concept of a controlled atmosphere where products can be cured without particle intrusion and with absence of oxygen, to achieve a perfect finish with the best quality in the market.

This high-performance installation includes a calender and a smoothing process (through the application and drying of a transparent foil) to create a surface with exceptional optical and mechanical properties.

As for wrapping, Barberán will show a bilateral wrapping machine that wraps both sides of profiles with rolled materials in a single step, simplifying the processes.

Formed by two station of unwinder + slot nozzle, it improves productivity and hand-in times. It’s ready for 4.0 industrial technology: it has two cameras for the control of the production result, RDIF codification and smart glasses, which allow the communication between the client’s technical team and Barberán’s. The developments that will be seen at Hannover show both the technological innovation that Barberán carries and its client-oriented philosophy, with a continuous offer of customized integral solutions.

New Features for Labels and Packaging in Latest Harlequin Release

14

The latest update to the Harlequin RIP®, Version 12.1, the print engine that drives the industry’s highest performing digital presses, is announced today by developers Global Graphics Software.

Harlequin Version 12.1 introduces additional features for labels and packaging workflows, notably support for the new ISO standard for processing technical marks, and expanded support for systems requiring multiple RIP instances to handle high data throughput requirements.

PDF Processing Steps is a new industry standard designed for labels and packaging workflows, that specifies a standard way of encoding processing steps such as die and fold lines or dimensions into a PDF file. It provides an unambiguous way of marking the technical content that’s required in the finishing step of the production workflow but not intended to be printed.

The benefit to converters is that they can automate common digital press workflows, such as

starting a print run with a few iterations of just the cut and fold lines for checking registration with dies and other finishing equipment. The main print run will then usually need all the processing steps turned off, so just the live graphics are shown and there’s no risk of cut lines being visible on the final print. A few more copies of just the technical separations may be printed at the end to detect if registration with cutters and converting equipment has drifted during the job.

Koenig & Bauer Receives Flexographic Technical Association’s Highest Award At the Flexographic Technical Association’s premier trade show InfoFlex 2019 held from May 6-7 in New Orleans, Koenig & Bauer Flexotecnica has received the FTA’s Technical Innovation Award for its Augmented Reality-DataGlass Remote Support. This award recognizes the most innovative and impactful technologies for the ever-evolving package printing and converting industry. Representatives from Koenig & Bauer Flexotecnica were honored at the Awards Banquet during Forum in New Orleans.

“With Koenig & Bauer’s rich 200 year history of technical innovation, we have the ability to offer more proactive innovative support ensuring that our customers receive the maximum uptime and throughput in their facility and allow them to remain ahead of their competitors,” says Jeff Dietz VP, Web & Specialty Press Division at Koenig & Bauer Flexotecnica. “Our new AR-DataGlass stands out as part of our on-going innovation of new product introductions.”

The Augmented Reality-DataGlass Remote Support system is truly a revolutionary new product. It provides Koenig & Bauer remote maintenance specialists with the ability to experience, in real time, what a customer’s technical team can see and hear. This is easily accomplished with the aid of an HD camera, headset and microphone.

The camera enables remote maintenance specialists from Koenig & Bauer to see and follow the actions of the technicians on site live in real time while they work on the press and see exactly what service technicians on site are seeing. The specialist can offer targeted support and be instructed step by step on how to remedy the problem.

By providing this one-to-one conversation between Koenig & Bauer’s technical team and the customer, Koenig & Bauer is better able to help them immediately diagnose the problem and get their flexo production system up and running. No longer is there a need to wait a crucial few days for a technician to visit

and diagnose the problem. Using the AR-DataGlasses, technicians can quickly remedy technical issues and instantly provide helpful information such as circuit diagrams, part lists, text messages (including a real time translating tool between nine languages), technical documentation, diagrams, editable live-camera images, etc. which can be shown on the display of the AR-DataGlass.

Bernholz Packaging Takes a New Approach to Quality Assurance with its Rapida 106 be too limited in our options.”

One special feature of the new Rapida 106 is that it incorporates the inline inspection system QualiTronic PDF HighRes. This enables Bernholz to monitor quality to a standard which is normally only required by suppliers of pharmaceuticals and similarly quality-critical products.

The reason for such complex quality monitoring lies in the demands which Bernholz customers place in every aspect of their packaging.

To meet these demands, also in respect of print quality, professional inspection methods are essential.

QualiTronic PDF HighRes compares every printed sheet against a reference generated from the pre-press PDF. Production monitoring is then effected at resolutions up to 290 dpi, right up to the maximum printing speed. Errors in a 6pt Arial font can be detected with ease. To

enable flawed sheets or blanks to be sorted out before or during the further processing, each sheet is already marked with a unique code as it leaves the feeder. If an error is detected, the number imprinted by the Sheet Ident inkjet system is entered in an error report, and it is then a simple matter to identify the flawed sheets or blanks for removal before the transfer to post-press.

The latest Rapida 106 is already the fourth at Bernholz. An identically equipped Rapida 106 stands in the neighbouring hall, allowing Mark A. Hoffmann and his team to make a direct comparison. The advances in sheetfed offset technology over the course of just a few years are immediately evident: Productivity and output of the new press are much higher. Makeready time has also been reduced to an equally significant extent.

ME‌Printer May 2019

A new eight-colour Rapida 106 with twin coaters has been in production at Bernholz Packaging in the North German town of Bad Salzuflen since November. It is the second press in this configuration at the company.

Straight printing with up to eight colours and practically all the finishing variants which can be realised in a double coating process is the core business of packaging specialist Bernholz, an independent company founded almost 100 years ago. Its main product line is cigarette packaging, where spot colours dominate alongside the standard four-colour set for the illustrations required by present-day legislation. Bernholz also serves the premium segment of the confectionery industry. Managing director Mark A. Hoffmann: “With a six-colour press, we would simply

EFI Nozomi C18000 Inspires Start-Up Company Precision Digital Printing

The high-productivity, high-quality, direct-to-board digital corrugated packaging capabilities of the Nozomi C18000 ultra-high-speed, single-pass LED inkjet digital press from Electronics For Imaging has inspired Arkansas entrepreneurs James, Troy and Justin Best to launch Precision Digital Printing.

The leaders of the Jonesborobased company installed an EFI Nozomi press, recognizing it as a truly groundbreaking solution for corrugated production.

“I have been in the corrugated business for 25 years and have been around converting equipment

my entire life,” stated Troy Best.

“We knew the Nozomi would be a game-changer for the industry, and we chose to found the company as a print-only business serving the trade, giving corrugated converters products they could not sell before.”

In the Precision Digital model, customers supply raw materials, and then Precision Digital prints the provided sheets and sends them back to customers, who then convert them to the finished product. “This service allows corrugated box companies to outsource to us without tying up capital in the

investment themselves,” according to Justin Best, who is Troy’s cousin.

“The converting houses we have already started to partner with see us as a supplemental resource, not competition, because we don’t do any converting.”

The Bests started Precision Digital Printing last September, with the family spending several months constructing a 100,000 square foot facility designed to house both the new Nozomi and a second Nozomi press the company anticipates purchasing in the future.

“The building is constructed in a mirror-image fashion,” Justin Best explained. “We have loading docks on each side and we constructed a custom conveyor system so sheets coming off the press go right to strapping, are married up with paperwork and are immediately ready for shipping.

“We are just getting production up and running now but will have 20 to 25 employees once we get ramped up,” he added. “We hope to run a second shift within eight months and be in a position to add the second Nozomi sometime after that.”

BST eltromat Makes It Even Easier to Set Up Web Guiding Systems

16

At the ICE EUROPE 2019 BST eltromat International presented new options for automatically positioning the CLS Pro 600 digital sensor with an FVG POS 100 sensor positioning device, making it even easier to set up web guiding systems. Machine operators have a number of options here. They can either manually enter the position data for the digital line and contrast sensor via the ekr 500 digital Unit Touch controller, or take over the position data via bus protocol directly from a higher-level PLC, in which this data is stored in recipes, for example.

“All of the options streamline the process of setting up the web

guiding system even more. This further increases the availability of production machines. If the position data of the lines or contrasts to be scanned are automatically transmitted from other systems or stored orders, the set-up times in the web guiding system can be reduced by up to 40%. At the same time, this eliminates input errors.

The result is higher operational reliability, which yields less waste,” said Ingo Ellerbrock, Head of Product Management at BST eltromat, stating the main benefits for integrating the three key components of the web guiding system.

The term “Industry 4.0” stands for digitalization and networking

production processes with the goal of significantly increasing efficiency. “The automatic setup of the web guiding system via our linked components is the basis of effective production process improvement.”

BST eltromat mainly developed the FVG POS 100 to control the edges and centers for wide web materials. The innovative sensor positioning device is mainly used where frequently changing web widths are used, web guiding controllers are installed in locations that are hard to access within machines, and/or where a high degree of automation is required.

Ultimate Paperbox Purchases Its First Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 106-8P+L Ultimate Paperbox located in City of Industry, California will expand market share with their Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 106-8P+L, which will give them the ability to consistently produce high-end products at 18,000 sheets an hour.

After picking up several high-end cosmetic accounts, Ultimate Paperbox looked to the eight-color Speedmaster XL 106 with coater, Prinect Inpress Control 2 and integrated Drystar UV to satisfy their clients’ needs for high quality packaging with a gloss-matte finish. According to Janak Patel, President of Ultimate Paperbox, “The Speedmaster was the perfect match for us to produce at high speeds consistently, while also being able to give each package that extra pop on the shelf thanks to the unique capabilities of the press.”

The Speedmaster XL 106 is able to handle all of the needs Ultimate Paperbox requires with Prinect Inpress Control 2 on the press, which handles even the most complex color critical job changes at the fastest speeds possible. This technology helps the Speedmaster XL 106 deliver the first measurable

result in less than 60 sheets in under a minute.

Equipped with speeds of 18,000 sheets per hour, the Speedmaster XL 106 will help the company grow by about 15-20% in the next 2 to 3 years. According to Patel, “We’ve

only been running the press for a few months, but our uptime has been about 90%. We’ll be able to get a lot more off the press and to packaging quicker thanks to the industry leading speeds and the UV and technology on the press.”

Canon Interview

Workflow Automation Brings Finishing Fully Into the Realm of Digital Production Ayman Ali, the Senior Marketing Manager for B2B at Canon Middle East, speaks about why finishing forms a major part of the print industry

ME‌Printer May 2019

What sort of technology and market trends do you see in the print finishing industry?

According to a Smithers Pira study titled ‘The Future of Print Finishing Markets to 2023’, in 2018 the global market for new post-press equipment was $4.87 billion, a little down from the high of $5.10 billion in 2013. The market is expected to rebound slightly across the next five years to reach to $4.90 billion in 2023.

This situation will be addressed by the expanding demand for digital print finishing equipment. Innovation in the print finishing market is driven by the attempt to make print more appealing to consumers and to add value to the final product with impact finishing. This includes integrating embossing, digital postpress enhancements, laser cutting, among others, into machinery for label finishing, packaging and commercial print.

26

How can adding digital finishing into their workflows help printers?

Today, finishing can be fully integrated with prepress and printing in a workflow based on relaying digital job specifications from process to process. When this happens, the whole print manufactur-

ing paradigm changes. Postpress traditionally has been the most labor-intensive stage of print production while digital finishing, especially when it takes place in-line with the press, breaks the bottleneck by eliminating the gaps that tend to isolate process steps in a conventional bindery.

Workflow automation is what brings finishing fully into the realm of digital production. It is especially critical in jobs containing variably printed elements or multiple components—for example, book blocks with tabbed inserts and covers—that have to be brought rapidly and precisely together.

Canon’s PRISMA production management software is an adaptive workflow solution that lets Canon and Océ presses work seamlessly with equipment from the leading providers of digital finishing systems. Together, the software and the devices represent digitally integrated manufacturing at its most efficient—with finishing as the most efficient step of all.

What sort of products and solutions in terms of print finishing, do you offer on the market?

Canon offers variety of in-line finishing solution that is fully integrated with the digital press. These in-line finishing options include perfect binding, stackers, hole punchers, booklet makers with a three way trimmer, and more.

These professional feeders and finishing solutions aim to provide for perfect results every time.

The Océ ColorStream 6000 Chroma is a highly versatile inkjet web press combining outstanding quality and flexibility for the efficient and reliable production of mail, publishing and commercial applications.

United Printing and Publishing (UPP) in Abu Dhabi, recently added the region’s first Océ ColorStream 6000 Chroma continuous feed ink-

jet press technology to its robust print production environment.

With the new press, UPP will have increased system versatility to extend the spectrum of applications they are able to produce digitally with the additional benefits of exceptional quality, enhanced productivity, as well as low paper waste and efficient ink and power consumption. The combination demonstrates that the best solutions come from partnerships between digital press manufacturers and qualified suppliers of digital finishing equipment.

How have print finishing technologies evolved over the years?

Today, finishing can be fully integrated with prepress and printing in a workflow based on relaying digital job specifications from process to process. Instead of prepping a job in one location, printing it in another, and binding it somewhere else, everything takes place in a unitary production line consisting of a networked press with finishing modules connected directly to it.

In this in-line digital finishing scenario, the sequence is “white paper in, sellable product out”: printed, trimmed, folded, bound, and ready to ship to the customer in one pass, all from what is essentially one device.

Since print has commoditized itself, do you believe the use of different finishing technologies can be a differentiator to move away from the norm?

In areas like packaging and interior design, creative design that can utilize special printing techniques, enabled by digital press capabilities and combining different finishing options, can provide a customer with a unique customized product.

This adds value to the product itself where a unique piece of decoration targets the high value niche customer.

opment Goals such as combatting climate change. This leadership initiative is committed to bringing together influential businesses to source energy supplies from 100 per cent renewable sources.

Konica Minolta is set to achieve this goal by 2050.

Its European headquarters, Konica Minolta Business Solutions Europe, and its German subsidiary for

example are already contributing to the goal by using electricity from renewable resources. Additionally, the European headquarters have been certified by ClimatePartner GmbH as operating completely carbon neutral. Konica Minolta recognises that joining RE100 will help to avoid global CO2 emissions through the spread and expanded use of renewable energy

ME‌Printer May 2019

As an international corporation, one of Konica Minolta’s highest goals is to create value for society.

Hence, it is mandatory for the company to commit to conducting business in an environmentally sustainable way. This is emphasised with Konica Minolta’s long-term environmental target Eco Vision 2050, which was set up in 2009 to reduce CO2 emissions by 80 percent by 2050 compared compared to 2005.

Energy efficiency and climate protection are also core topics in Konica Minolta’s customer-centric sustainability approach. Through the company’s products and services the customers have the chance to actively decide for climate conscious solutions from Konica Minolta themselves. For example through the “Enabling Carbon Neutrality” program, production printing customers are able to offset their carbon emissions through certified climate projects around the world.

“For Konica Minolta it is a matter of course to act sustainable within our own company environment on the one hand, but also to be able to help our customers and patners do so in conducting their businesses on the other hand. We see it as our responsibility to contribute to the establishment of sustainable business processes and are proud to be able to do our part,” explains Olaf Lorenz, General Manager, International Marketing Division at Konica Minolta Business Solutions Europe GmbH.

Women Should Never Limit Themselves and Move Forward Bravely Magida Beydoun, the Chairman and General Manager at Copytech sal speaks about her experience in the regional print industry Tell us about your leadership style and philosophy.

My personal leadership philosophy is based on establishing mutual trust with everybody in my team to reach company targets. I believe that sharing my personal leadership philosophy will help my team develop an understanding of what I expect from them. Above all, I believe that following these principles will allow me to positively impact the lives of those around me.

ME‌Printer May 2019

My leadership philosophy: • Teamwork, Communication and Sharing • Trust & Credibility • Consistency & Dedication • Determination & Professionalism • Motivation &Learning My role as General Manager is to find all the way how to improve office culture and create a positive work environment among the whole team members.

28

What made you choose Printing and Graphics Industry as a career opportunity?

Just after my graduation I joined a big group of companies dealing with the office equipment products, at that time office equipment included the telex, fax, calculators, typewriters beside the analogue copiers as the group was the official distributor of Konica Minolta (previously Minolta) in Lebanon.

From the first task as assistant to the logistics manager, to junior accountant, senior, chief and then finance manager where I stayed for more than 15 years until the post of General Manager became vacant. This was an opportunity for me to change my career path despite the big difficulties and obstacles that I have to face and the tremendous responsibilities that I should carry to overlap this challenge.

However, I was willing to take the risk as I was confident that I will succeed in my new role.

How has your unique background prepared you for success in the industry?

Since I started my first job, I have been known to be a dedicated trustworthy person with a positive attitude, dependable, flexible when it comes to change, punctual at all times, sharing my skills with co-workers and colleagues, insisting to get things done on time, and a great passion to read & learn.

This does not mean that I was workaholic or afraid of losing my job. I loved my job. And today, at the beginning of every work day I feel energized by what I do and I am certain that I can make a difference not only to my team but also to my customers. I believe this is something that you cannot learn at school but by yourself.

than any other man in same position, so the comparison is always there. But I had always liked the challenge, the post of GM gave me plenty of opportunities to learn and have a complete overview of the company. Now here I am on my 7th successful year of leadership as General Manager of the company.

I would advise every womanto grab any business opportunity, take the risk, face criticism, survive failure and understand that perfection is never required. Sometimes it might be a tough assignment but we should never limit ourselves and move forward bravely. I strongly believe that women will never advance in business until we break theobstacles of differentiation of gender inequality.

What was your most interesting job?

It is true that I am coming from a finance background where revenues and margins are the most important factors to do business. But my successful years of experience has helped me to formulate new ways to grow and lead the business as I was fully aware of whole operations through all divisions beside the perfect understanding with all staff members and the most interesting part for me was to learn the technical language which is an essential part in the printing industry and listen to the sales team arguments and then build a productive bridge of opportunities between them.

What is the greatest transformation in the printing that you’ve witnessed in your career?

The printing industry, like many other industries, continues to undergo technological changes.

The greatest change was the digital transformation which is the booming topic of today. Digital transformation is not an easy issue to define in brief, in fact it is a complex system of market requirements, mentality and implementation that should be executed on the whole different levels of the business without exception.

What advice would you give to women looking to break into the field of print and related industry?

I can truly say that being a General Manager in a printing business company which is known as a male dominated industry is not an easy task. Because as a woman, I had to prove always that I am better

What are your thoughts on the next transformation in the print and graphics industry?

The introduction of Artificial Intelligence,the Internet of Things (IOT), as devices are becoming increasingly intelligent and may be connected, monitored and managed remotely. This world of smart devices has the potential to improve business efficiency, reducing operating and maintenance costs.

Inkcups Introduces the Helix Hi-Fi

Inkcups announced the release of its newest product, the Helix Hi-Fi, a 7-color rotary digital printer that delivers photorealistic skin-tone matching with the addition of three new color pockets.

The Helix Hi-Fi is an evolution of the Inkcups Helix, the industry’s bestselling printer in its class. In addition to Helix’s standard CMYKWV, the Helix Hi-Fi has three additional colors: light cyan, light magenta and light black. While the standard Helix already delivers the best image quality in the industry, the addition of the light colors brings output quality to a new level. The benefits are most dramatic in printing skin tones where true photorealistic images are generated with smoother shade transitions, less graininess, and higher-resolution edge effects.

The Helix Hi-Fi’s unique skin-tone matching function is increasingly in demand for personalized printing, which often requires one-off production of facial images. Helix Hi-Fi can import a series of unique image files and produce high-resolution

printed products of stunning quality. Typical applications include personalized images on glass candle holders, drinkware including stemless wine glasses, stainless steel tumblers, pint glasses and many more.

Ideal for promotional and retail markets, the Helix Hi-Fi prints multi-color graphics on straightwalled cylinders, tapers, and objects with limited wall curvatures.

The system features a built-in programmable tilt to reduce changeover time and eliminate the need to optimize print recipes for each SKU change. The Helix Hi-Fi uses UV LED ink and prints 360 degrees with a maximum resolution of 1200 dpi. The machine’s printable area is 8.6 inches; the system can print on items up to 12 inches in length with a diameter ranging from 2-5 inches.

Roland TrueVIS VG2 Passes Customer Testing with Flying Colors

32

The Dutch sign specialist Gielen Reclame (Valkenswaard) is incredibly enthusiastic about the successful beta test of the new 8-colour TrueVIS VG2 printer/cutter from Roland. So happy, in fact, that Chris Gielen immediately purchased two machines: “The addition of the new orange ink now provides us with the opportunity to make even better prints with certain corporate identity colours.”

Gielen Reclame, along with a sign maker in Denmark and Renault F1 Team, is one of the three European

companies that have subjected the new generation TrueVIS from Roland DG to extensive practical testing. The Dutch company has a great deal of experience with Roland devices - there were already six Roland printers in the production hall, and with the investment in two TrueVIS VG2 devices there are now eight - and was therefore the ideal customer to push the boundaries of this new printer.

The TrueVIS VG2 is the latest generation printer/cutter from Roland DG. "In its development,

we were able to build on more than 30 years of knowledge and experience with 16 previous generations of products in the print & cut market segment that is so important to us," says Karel Sannen, Marketing Manager at Roland DG, Benelux. “We have introduced more than 40 new and improved functions and features - in the hardware, but also in the software and the ink, including orange ink for an even wider colour gamut.

Together, these improvements ensure even better performance than previous generations. I am convinced that the TrueVIS VG2 truly sets the new standard in large format printing solutions.

And that's why I am happy that our beta test customers endorse that view as well.”

The TrueVIS VG2, introduced in March, is available in various ink configurations, including CMYK x 2 and CMYKLcLmLk with orange or white in the eighth colour channel.

Zünd Launches New Coated Router Bits Zünd is bringing to market new, DLC-coated router bits. The coating reduces friction and increases wear resistance, thereby delivering very high-quality results as well as better performance and cost efficiency. The new router bits are especially beneficial in routing applications involving aluminum, aluminum composites, wood, and PVC. Friction and wear during the routing process substantially affect the quality of cut parts, routing performance, and longevity of bits. Thin-film coatings are among the most effective ways to achieve significant improvements in performance and productivity. Innovative DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating permits greater processing speeds and cutting depths.

The number of passes can be reduced, which significantly increases routing productivity. Up to 4 mm thick aluminum composites can be processed in a single pass, at speeds of up to 11 m/36 ft per min.

In many cases, a finishing pass becomes unnecessary, which further reduces production time.

Because of the resulting smooth, durable surfaces it creates, thinfilm coating reduces friction, provides excellent wear resistance,

and more than doubles the life of the bit. The same properties also help prevent material build-up on the bit when processing acrylic or aluminum. Reduced drag forces on the material permit routing more detailed contours, and even smaller parts can be routed without the need for bridges to hold them in place.

Smoother surfaces also diminish the amount of heat generated during routing, which eliminates the need for cooling or lubrication.

Both aluminum and aluminumcomposite panels can be dry routed when using these bits, which facilitates handling and leaves both cut pieces and working area clean and dry.

The new bits are optimized for use with Zünd routing spindles and are available in diameters from 2 to 6 mm and for routing depths up to 22 mm/.87 in. They are also available with stop ring, which makes them suitable for use with the automatic tool changer ARC.

KHS Now Also Labels Cans Most decisions to buy are made directly at the point of sale: the significance of product presentation is growing, with an attractive visual appearance becoming ever more important. KHS is therefore now also offering its successful Innoket Neo labeling series for cans to manufacturers of small batches and producers with a high brand variety. The machine opens up new avenues in product marketing and flexibility in production.

Warehouse capacities are reduced and energy is saved.

Images of production shops filled with pallets of differently printed empty cans will soon be a thing of the past. Says Cornelius Adolf, labeling product manager for KHS,

“We’ve expanded our existing portfolio to include can labeling to give the customer more design options and enable these designs to be implemented faster with smaller warehouse capacities.” This is because minimum order quantities and long delivery times for empty cans limit flexibility. It is now possible to order unprinted cans within a much shorter period and to label them using the KHS Innoket Neo, thus simplifying logistics processes.

The Innoket Neo can be used to apply self-adhesive film or paper labels. Here, the container can be either partly or fully wrapped with a label – including optical alignment. “The look and feel are

unique”, is how Adolf explains the results of the self-adhesive labeling method. With this technology beverage producers can also respond much more rapidly and flexibly to the steadily growing variety of products and labels on the market.

With this system the design or logo can be changed within a few hours and the cans dressed with suitable motifs. “Customers can even print their own labels. This considerably shortens the time to market. An attractive product is a clear distinguishing criterion at the point of sale," says Adolf. As no cans with varying motifs have to be ordered, costs are also cut as higher numbers of unprinted containers can be purchased.

Kernow Coatings Launches KernowJet KlearView Kernow Coatings is offering the Wide-Format industry creative solutions that facilitate printers’ work, enhance visual merchandisers’ results, all while saving time and money. With an unprinted clear substrate, prints will look as if they are suspended in the air. However, the latest developments in printers offering white inks have enabled new and exciting prospects. A clear substrate, depending on the chosen design, will often require a white layer underneath the coloured elements. This white understrike will bring a punch to the colours and a better opacity to the printed

design. Originally, clear substrates were reserved for screen-printing only and very few UV-printers offered the option to go for white ink. Nowadays, most printer manufacturers provide this option with solvent, UV-cured and even latex inks. On top of that, these machines have now become more affordable.

Kernow has looked into the fastest and easiest ways to apply a glass clear message on a window. We wanted to make the application as easy and user-friendly as possible.

We have therefore avoided selfadhesive substrates, which inevitably lead to complicated application

or poor results when applied by your everyday worker without sign hanging experience. KlearView 142 is a 142µ/5.6mil substrate printable with eco-solvent, latex and UV-curable inks, while KlearView 125KBC and KlearView 175KBC are UV-printable only with thickness of 125µ/4.9mil and 175µ/6.9mil, respectively. Smaller designs can be printed on 125µ/4.9mil while bigger pieces and hanging displays should be preferably printed on the thicker gauges.

Southeastern Printing Buys Eight-Color Komori LED-UV Sheetfed Perfector

34

Komori America announced that Florida-based Southeastern Printing has purchased an eightcolor Komori Lithrone 40 perfector (GL840P) with Komori’s LED-UV curing system. Since its inception in 1924, Southeastern Printing has grown by listening to customer needs and investing in the latest technologies to meet them.

With the recent addition of a new facility in Miami, Florida, the company has doubled in size and is one of Flor-

ida’s largest printing companies. This growth challenged Southeastern Printing to take a holistic approach to processes within its operation and look for ways to achieve new efficiencies in both print facilities.

“When it comes to ensuring the future of any printing company, it is critical to invest in the latest technology or you will be left behind,” said Don Mader, CEO of Southeastern Printing. “We knew it was time for a new press for a number of reasons.

We wanted to increase our speed to market to meet our clients’ increasingly tight deadlines. From a sustainability standpoint, it was important to reduce our energy consumption.

Finding qualified labor to run the presses is yet another critical issue every printer faces today. The bottom line is that we knew we weren’t saving money by keeping our older presses in operation because they were actually causing unnecessary costs and waste.”

Why Digital Printed Wall-Coverings Are Set for Dynamic Growth

ME‌Printer May 2019

Debbie McKeegan discusses how digital printed wallpaper has caught the public’s imagination and has become a main driver of the Interior Décor Print Marketplace.

36

The Digital Printed Wallpaper Market is predicted to grow from $2.53 billion to $7.74 billion over the five years from 2018 to 2023 at a CAGR of 25%. The arrival of the Millennial Market and its love of customisation and personalisation has built on the impetus given by the development of Digital Printing Machinery being able to service demand quickly and efficiently.

A serious influence on this market is the benefit of using wallpaper over interior paint. Digitally printed wallpapers add to the aesthetic appeal of the wall space and papers are more economical compared with interior paint despite the high initial investment. Additionally, the residential sector is projected to be the fastest-growing segment in the digitally printed wallpaper market during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to a rise in the number of housing renovations which creates demand for interior decoration, along with an increase in disposable income levels.

Either way, today, it seems that no Interior Scheme, whether Domestic or Commercial is complete without a ‘Feature Wall’ making a statement about the client. The visual atmosphere created by such custom wall-coverings enables the designer to generate a bespoke environment reflecting subjects as varied as the client’s product range or their personal lifestyle statements.

The inkjet segment dominated the global digitally printed wallpaper market, by technology, in 2018, and this trend is projected to continue during the forecast period.

This dominance can be attributed to its simplicity of usage, scalability, and its ability to produce highquality print. Predominant in this market place are the machines of HP, Ricoh, Roland DG and Xeikon.

Production speeds and reliability have ramped up in recent years, followed by concurrent developments in systems and image processing software, all of which have contributed to an ever-improving technical excellence of the product.

Using ink-sets that vary from EcoSolvent to Latex, these machines delight the designer and consumer alike, and produce high resolution bespoke printed panels that are ready to go. At the same time the available range of printable wall-coverings has developed to meet this broadening marketplace.

Specialist Coated Non-Woven Paper, Fire Resistant Substrates and Textured Print Bases, are now offered widely, with Sihl, Desardi, Ahlstrom, Sentec and Landor UK leading the way.

The growth of vinyl wallpapers, enhanced by their low cost, stainresistant properties, durability, and easy maintenance properties, is being matched by 3rd generation Substrates, that combine these properties with an ever-broadening portfolio of Surface Effects and sustainable options. Silk lookalikes, Matt Surfaces and Metallics are on the way up, with Woven Textures and subtle Background Patterns also achieving eminence. Against the backdrop of a burgeoning Sales Market, on the supply side, developments in Machinery and Substrates have added enormous impetus to demand, broadening appeal and technical performance, whilst at the same time retaining all the essential qualities of Bespoke Digital Printed Wallcoverings so beloved by the consumer.

FESPA Global Print Expo 2019 is Europe’s largest speciality print exhibition for screen and digital wide format print, textile printing and signage solutions. Printeriors will showcase both interior and exterior décor applications, aiming to connect brand owners, interior decorators, designers and architects with PSPs and manufacturers.

Various interior décor applications will be on display including wallpaper, lightboxes, soft furnishings including curtains and cushions, table tops and sideboards, window graphics and chairs.

6th drupa Global Trends Report Shows Global Print Health in Overall Good Condition

(UK) and Wissler & Partner (CH).

Over 600 printers and 200 suppliers participated with all regions well represented.

Richard Gray, Operations Director at Printfuture stated, “Most panel members are positive overall about the future, despite very clear concerns about the economic and political prospects for 2019 and beyond. It is striking that many show an increasingly confident grasp of how to exploit the rapidly changing opportunities for print, as the wider markets make increased use of digital communications.”

Most printers make money despite the huge pressure on margins by increasing revenues through raising utilisation while keeping overheads as stable as possible. Globally we even saw a small increase in prices, despite substantial increases in paper/ substrate prices. Suppliers also saw revenues and prices rise globally but with an even sharper decline in margins.

Conventional print volumes continue to decline but slowly.

In 2013, 23% of printers reported that Digital print was more than 25% of turnover. In 2018, the proportion of printers had increased to 29%. Nevertheless, Sheetfed offset remains the most common form of print technology, present in 66% of all printers. Sheetfed offset volume continues to grow

in Packaging but there was a clear decline amongst Commercial printers for the first time.

Web to Print volumes are climbing, but slowly. In 2014, 17% of participants with W2P installations reported more than 25% of turnover came from that source.

By 2018, that proportion of participants had increased to 23%. Yet the proportion of printers with W2P installations is static – 25% in 2014 and 25% in 2018.

In terms of Capital Expenditure, 41% of printers spent more in 2018 than 2017, while just 15% spent less and expenditure grew in all regions except Africa. Those in Packaging and Functional markets were very bullish while those in Commercial and Publishing markets were more cautious.

It was broadly the same pattern amongst Suppliers.

For printers, Finishing equipment was the most common target in 2019, followed by Print technology and then PrePress/ Workflow/MIS. As for Print technology, Digital toner sheetfed colour was the most common target for investment in 2019 for all markets, except for Packaging where Sheetfed Offset took first place. Yet the Packaging market saw a 5% growth in the proportion of SKU’s specifying digital print across all applications, except for Labels where the figure is already 40%.

ME‌Printer May 2019

The 6th drupa Global Trends Report shows that the global print industry as a whole is in a stable condition. Globally 40% of printers stated their company economic condition was ‘good’ in 2018 versus 13% who described their condition as ‘poor’, the rest were ‘satisfactory’. This gives a positive net balance of 27%. For suppliers, the positive net balance was 19%. Both groups remain optimistic with c.50% expecting things to be better in 2019.

Conditions vary between regions and between markets.

So North America continued to enjoy strong growth in 2018, Europe and Australia enjoyed steady growth, whilst Asia, the Middle East, and S/C America were cautious and Africa was in decline. The 2018 results reflect the established pattern in most regions, although the decline in the Middle East and S/C America appears to be worsening.

The Packaging market thrives as does Functional, but there are clear signs of increasing caution in the Commercial market and Publishing remains subdued, with the encouraging exception of the books market. Sabine Geldermann, Director drupa, Messe Duesseldorf, commented, “The report shows that with a little more than a year to go to drupa 2020, the global industry is in robust health overall. Clearly, there are significant differences in prospects across different regions and markets as demand rapidly changes with economic conditions and evolving uses of print.

That is the real value of this drupa Global Trends series. It allows readers to track those trends over time and identify how printers and suppliers alike can best invest to secure a strong future within the industry.”

The findings come from the 6th major annual survey issued last autumn to the drupa Expert Panel of senior decision takers recruited from printers and exhibitors at drupa 2016 and run by Printfuture

High-performance barrier films resin manufacturers continue to develop and improve plastic films and additives for packaging production.

Rising demand for high-performance barrier films in solar PVs and semiconductor insulations expected to boost demand. Additionally, high-performance barrier films are used in food processing industry and pharmaceutical blister packaging, which is expected to fuel the demand during the

ME‌Printer May 2019

forecast period. Over 65% of highperformance barrier films are used for packaging purpose. Growing application of chemically inert and flexible material for packaging food and beverages is likely to fuel highperformance barrier films growth.

The rising consumer awareness for food hygiene and safety is expected to boost demand for high-performance barrier films.

Some high-performance barrier films manufacturers are adopting sustainability strategies by creating renewable cellulose-based barrier and biodegradable films. For instance Innovia Films and Sappi Fine Paper Europe have combined their compostable substrates – Innovia’s ‘NatureFlex’ and Sappi’s ‘Algro Nature’ – that provides a packaging solution that offers for either industrial or home composting.

The demand for food with a high quality and most importantly longer shelf life has led to the increase in the demand for multilayer film structures that can keep the food product fresh or consumable for several days. Recycling becomes a particular problem with multi - layer barrier films structures containing more than one type of plastic. As high-performance barrier films are difficult to separate and may hamper the growth.
