Editor’s Note

Eskandar Jahanbani Editor in Chief

This issue we had so many events to cover. However the images of tsunami battered Japan and the efforts made by the Japanese people to restore their lives are so touching that I decided to open the editor’s note by paying homage to the Japanese people and their resilience. As an active member of the graphic arts community we were also eager to find out how Japanese companies are coping with the calamity. We have contacted several major Japanese manufacturers and they explained the scope of damage that their facilities suffered, as well as the measures taken by each company to re-establish a sense of normalcy within their organization. You can read all about it in this issue. Our focus in this issue however is a round up on Gulf Print and Pack. More than 8,000 people from across the region visited the show, which was held from March 14th to March 17th at the Airport Expo in Dubai. We heard many success stories during the show, which somehow assured us that the printing industry is back on track. Some exhibitors were not particularly satisfied with the visitor turnout but everybody agreed that the quality of visitors was as high as it could get to be. On a sore note, the recent uprisings and clashes in different countries in the Middle East is gradually showing its effects on the printing industry. We are including some news regarding this controversial issue. Another important event that recently took place in Dubai is the Paperworld Middle East. The exhibition held for the first time in Dubai saw the biggest display of office and paper products in the region. The exhibition was organised by Epoc Messe Frankfurt. A range of other print industry events took place during the last month in UAE, which once again proves that UAE amidst all the conflicts and ongoing fightings in the region, is the place to be.

The resilience of Japanese people and companies in face of disaster is a great lesson for all of us

Palestine: Gaddafi Tirades Inspires Wedding Card Market

ME Printer April 2011

Fiery rants like Dar Dar and Zanga Zanga used as wordings in wedding cards

In what turned out to be a funny adaptation, printing houses in Palestinian territories and in some other Arab countries have started to print wedding cards that includes words from the speech of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. Inspired by his fiery sermon that was watched by millions on television, printers in the region report that couples want famous wordings like ‘Zanga, Zanga’ and ‘It’s the hour to celebrate and Lets Dance’ be printed on their wedding cards. This new trend has given a comic element to the leader’s famous quotes. As reported, one of the print owners said to ‘Sama Palestinian Agency’ that Palestinian grooms insist on using those words to

attract more people to their wedding. The agency reports that most invitations are addressed after Gaddafi’s famous declaration, ‘House to House, Home to Home, Zanga, Zanga’.

The Director of a Printing Press said that he has printed a considerable number of wedding cards that contains phrases, ‘Dance, Rejoice, Sing’ and ‘It is the hour of engagement’.

Lebanon: Printing Association Requests Presses to Get License Print houses that don’t possess license will not be entitled to any benefits that support their sector Joseph Sader, the Head of Printing Association in Lebanon asked all printing houses to update their license or else face the brunt of the Ministry of Industry.

Sader thanked the Minister of Industry, Ibrahim Dadah, who expressed his understanding for the development of the sector and the difficulties faced by the print houses. The Minister later promised to provide help and support necessary to settle the situation and

to facilitate easy access to get investment licenses. The printing sector is a major part of the industrial sector in Lebanon and employs about twenty per cent of the workforce in the industry. Sader said that those industries who have not got licenses to operate should obtain them from the Ministry of Labor and Industry within a period of five months. He said that those who do not abide by this recommendation will not be entitled to any benefits or financial guarantees that are given to the industrial and productive sectors in Leba-

non and they will also be even denied any benefits from health care projects.

Algeria: Newspaper Press Project in Bashar Enters Final Phase

Built in an area of 8,000 square meters the estimated cost of the project is 5 million dollars

The construction work for the newspaper printing press in the State of Bashar in South Algeria has reached in its final phase. Located in an area of 8,115 square meters and an estimated production capacity of 50,000 copies per day for 20 national dailies, it will enable

the printing and distribution of journals and weeklies across the entire region of South West Algeria that includes Bashar and Adrar. The estimated project cost of the proposed press is about 5,468,424 US$ (394 million Algerian Dinars). Recently paying a visit to the

printing press, the Communication Minister of Algeria, Nacer Mehal expressed his hope that the press would enter production phase within a period of four months. He assured that the government will provide all necessary resources to complete the installation of the project so as to help commence production by the beginning of next summer.

Saudi Arabia: Printers to Increase Prices by 15 % The increase comes after the rise in the price of raw materials and shipment On the other hand, Al-Ghamdi in an interview with the Saudi Al Madinah newspaper, mentioned that the increase that have occurred in the industry is estimated to be about 20 % on paper (imported from Europe, Korea and China), 15 % on inks and a similar percentage on binding material (imported from Europe), in addition to the increase of 10 % on press room chemicals, which are also imported from Europe and Japan. Political unrest and natural disasters further suggest that there would be a further increase in the price of raw materials for the printing and packaging industry. Al-Ghamdi said that the increase will also include rise in shipment and insurance rates that will add on to the financial burden of the printing sector. He said that if

this condition prevails, with the existing competition between the presses, the owners of small to medium presses will not be able to survive and will be soon out of market.

ME Printer April 2011

Abdulaziz Bin Mohammed AlGhamdi, Chairman Manager of the Printing Committee in the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Jeddah said that printers in the region are thinking to increase price of their products by the beginning of next month. He further said that the price increase would be a gradual process with an increase of 5 % at the beginning, followed by an additional 10 %. He said that as international prices of raw materials used in printing and packaging has gone up, printing presses have resorted to increase their service prices as a last resort to save their business. Earlier their efforts to reduce and rationalize operating expenses have not been fruitful and have caused financial damage to the printing and packaging sector in the kingdom.

Saudi Arabia: Al Jazeera Printing Press Invests in a Heidelberg Speedmaster The new printing machine will meet the demands of the press in small format printing

Mohammad Battal AlDossary, Owner (Left) and Mustafa Abu Sammour, Sales Manager (Right)

Al Jazeera Printing Press located in Khobar city in the eastern province of Saudi Arabia recently invested in a Speedmaster SM 52-4 machine from Heidelberg to meet the growing demands of the company in small-format printing.

Tareq Salman, Sales Executive of Juffali Printing Systems, Heidelberg Saudi Arabia in an interview with ME Printer said that Al Jazeera decided to invest in this machine after long discussions and negotiations. Al Jazeera chose offset over digital due to its low cost, quality and efficiency in printing. Heidelberg has earlier supplied a GTO machine and 2 Polar cutting machine to the printing press as well as helped in training the professional staff of the press. Salman mentioned that the small format 35 x 50 printing size has witnessed growing demand from the printing presses in the Kingdom. He said that this press is tailor made for commercial and jobbing printers who usually print

small pamphlets and booklets. Advertising is an essential part of the printing industry and small format printing has a market in the eastern region of the kingdom, where large petrochemical companies like Aramco depend primarily on commercial printing. Regarding the implications of the economic crisis on the printing market in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Salman commented that the printing market in the Kingdom is witnessing a state of recovery from the impact of the crisis. During the crisis, installations of only pre and post press machines were made but now printers once again show appetite for new presses as well.

Speaking about the new contract, Khalid Sadiq, Technical director of Al Yamamah Press said to ME Printer that, this project came at the right time and the decision to go ahead with Fujifilm was made following an exhaustive study. He said that this project is catered to meet the demands of the company and will satisfy future requirements of the market in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which is one of the largest mar-

kets in the region. The lucrative Saudi printing market covers 48% of the whole gulf region, is worth billions of riyals and offers great return on investment. The KSA ranks the highest number in the purchase of printing equipment and development projects in the region. During recent years the printing market in KSA experienced a healthy growth, especially in packaging sector. Explaining why the company decided to deal with Dynagraph, Sadiq said, “In reality, we invited bids from five companies and Dynagraph won the bid due to its competitive price, excellent service and diverse portfolio, which covers a variety of printing requirements.” Speaking about the equipments of Al-Yamamah Press, Sadiq said that the company has 2 lines of Goss Community and one Goss Universal 50 web offset press. Goss community can print up to 40 pages including 12 pages in colour and prints the Riyadh newspaper. With a speed of 50,000 copies, the Goss 50 can print up to 52 pages including 32 pages in colour with 8 pages in gloss. The Company’s state-of-the-art mail room system also supports company’s effort to finish and deliver newspaper on time meeting the tight deadlines. More than 128 people in different capacities

Khalid Sadiq such as engineers, technicians and print assistants work in the company. Al Yamamah generates more than140 million dollars annually in advertising revenues. Al-Yamamah Press is the first company in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to opt for this system from Fujifilm. The new solution is completely Eco Friendly. Other than web presses AlYamamah is equipped with 3 sheetfed printing presses and a wide range of finishing equipment including saddle stitchers from Muller Martini, integrated binding line with 16 stations from Kolbus, 3 folding and 2 coating machines and last but not the least cold and thermal foil embossing equipment.

Saudi Arabia: Rain Floods Riyadh International Book Fair

ME Printer April 2011

A committee formed to study the extent of damage and to compensate the loss of the publishing houses

The unexpected storm in Riyadh brought the Riyadh International Book Fair to an abrupt ending. The storm sank a large part of the exhibition stalls leading to a loss of more than one million Saudi riyals. About 30 publishing houses participated at the event, which concluded 4 hours before the actual closing time. According to reports in Al-Hayat Saudi newspaper, it is believed that engineering faults in the design of the Riyadh Exhibition Center led to this incident. In an interview with the newspaper, the Fair Director, Abulaziz Al-Aqeel said that, the Ministry of Culture and Information will negotiate with the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Riyadh and also with the owner of the exhibition center to develop a solution to compensate for the loss of publishing houses. Aqeel added

that since the Exhibition Center is protected under insurance cover all the losses that has been incurred, will be compensated by the insurance company. Aqeel said that these events did not influence the exhibition and

there was a good visitor turnout with more than 3 million visitors attending the show and a record sale of more than 35 million riyals that surpassed the figures of last year, which were around 20 million Saudi riyals.

Libya: Britain Seizes Shipment of Libyan Dinars A ship carrying about 200 million Libyan dinars caught at London port Britain, in a diplomatic move, siezed 163 million dollars in newly printed Libyan currecy from a ship and ordered the vessel back to port, according to reports of The Independent. The money was unloaded from the Sloman Provider in Harwich and according to reports, British officials told Sloman Neptun, the vessel’s

German owner that carrying the money to Tripoli would violate the current U.N. sanctions on the Libyan government and on the country’s ruler, Col. Muammar Gadhafi. The vessel contained around 100 million pounds ($163 million) or about 200 million Libyan dinars, which was printed at De La Rue,

a company with a plant at Gateshead near Newcastle. Officials said that it was shipped from the plant and was out of the country before an order against exporting Libyan currency was issued. Gadhafi is reportedly running short of cash and the U.N. Security Council unanimously approved economic sanctions against Libya.

The Abu Dhabi International Book Fair that was held at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre from the 15th of March to 20th of March, 2011 saw six days of interaction, contacts, networking, cultural events, professional programs and books sold to eager readers. The Book Fair, which celebrated its 21st anniversary this year, attracted exhibitors from all over the world. This year exhibitors from Brazil and Peru joined the expo for the very first time. Monika Krauss, General Manager of KITAB, a joint venture between

the Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage and the Frankfurt Book Fair said that, “I’m extremely happy, because it went very smoothly this year; the exhibitors were quite pleased and had no complaints. Everything from the operational and organizational side went well. The professional programme was very well accepted and people liked the panels and discussions they attended. The international attendance was good, and every year more people come.” Krauss highlights in particular the two countries that were

the Cultural and Market focus this year: France and Korea, respectively. As she sees it, with those two countries, ADIBF is building bridges both east and west. “The French signed a Memorandum of Understanding to do cultural programs with ADACH. From what I heard from publishers here from the focus countries, they are saying they did great networking, and made great contacts. And now, some other embassies have already approached us looking to be the Cultural and/or Market focus for next year’s fair,” added Monika.

Down The Memory Lane

Three Decades And a Bag Full of Experience Jack Dean, Area Sales Manager, Presstek gives an account of his journey in the print industry

“I have been to 9 Drupa’s so far and I have witnessed many innovations and breakthroughs, however for me, CtP and DI are the biggest developments”

ME Printer April 2011

Jack Dean

Jack Dean Now !

Jack Dean Then !

He has been in the print industry for more than 3 decades, he has witnessed the revolution that changed the industry and he knows it by its pulse. Jack Dean, Area Sales Manager of Presstek recollects and shares his knowledge of the industry with the readers of ME Printer, wherein he accounts his experience with the print arena, the ever-shifting trends and changes and how his encounter with the print industry made him pick his better half.

At the same time, AB Dick approached me to help grow their business and the main thing that tempted me was they were in the making of their first DPI machine and were also working on the Polyester CtP machines. You have to recount that this happened 16 years ago. All these interesting propositions made me decide to join AB Dick.

You started your career 30 years back with Multilith, where you worked as an engineer and then there was a lot of transition in your path till you landed in AB Dick 15 years ago. Was this change from Multilith to AB Dick a difficult one, rather to say the shift from one technology to other, how was your experience? Well to talk on the printing side, I would say there wasn’t much of a technology difference. I was with Multilith for almost 23 years and it was a hard decision to move on. I choose to move on from Multilith because their business was going down day by day and they were filed for Chapter 11 twice in the Bankruptcy code. There was literally no investment going on in the company. That was when I decided to move out of Multilith.

How did you get yourself involved with printing? My very first job was for a company called Imperial Typewriters; they manufactured typewriters and small photocopier machines. I worked as an engineer there. My office was located opposite to Addressograph Multigraph International (AMI); chance encounters landed me a job in AMI. So from typewriters, I moved on to small offset print machines, as a service engineer. That was in the year 1972 and within a couple of months; I had the chance to repair an entire machine. All these Multilith machines were operated by women back then; it is here that I met a young girl operator, whom I married later on. My wife is still a printer. She operates a wide range of presses including Hamada, Ryobi, Heidelberg and she can work with dark room cameras and Duplo collating machines and the list goes on. She is quite skilled.

What is the major breakthrough for you in printing? I have been to 9 Drupa’s so far and I have witnessed many innovations and breakthroughs. However for me, DI is the major breakthrough in the basic machine category. When I first saw Heidelberg DI, I thought it as a magnificent development. I didn’t even know about Presstek back then. Another major breakthrough is CtP, of course, which is a lot more advanced when compared with its development from spinning disk image setters. So, CtP and DI are the biggest developments in my view. In offset too there are a lot of things happening like the Heidelberg Anicolor. The biggest change that I have seen recently is in the finishing equipments; it has changed dramatically and is doing good business. Were you never tempted to move into companies like Heidelberg, Manroland etc? Those opportunities were offered to me but I was never tempted by these as I was, and am happy with what I do. It would be like, to work out of my comfort zone actually. DI never really took off the way it was expected to and how’s the market for DI now? Well, we were the only pioneers in this technology. Heidelberg was selling the DI machines but they stopped it long time back. It was never really successful until we got into the market, selling our own product with our own technology. Companies like Ryobi and KBA are selling DI as their co-product with the technology provided by us. We have never moved from that segment, we still take the mid market of 500 to 10,000 copies. Less than 500 is printed digital and more than 10,000 is conventional offset territory. In the Middle East, so far we have installed 2 DI machines. Others are trying to squeeze

our boundaries and they have moved in DI territory but we see them as complementary and we don’t feel threatened by their presence in the market. Do you see lots of prospect for DI in the region? As I said before, in the Middle East we have installed 2 DI machines. The DI is lot more accepted in Europe than here, it’s hard selling here. Printers mainly prefer to work with conventional or digital CtP. Many cheap plates from India and China are widely available here and printers use them for short runs. As regarding to CtP market, we have done 27 installations in the Middle East market, which is a considerable figure when we compare it with what we had four and half years ago, which was zero. Our plate volumes are very good when used with our CtP machines. We are also selling third party plates that

are processless plates as well as chemistry plates. Our plates are always available in the market. We invented and brought to the market the world’s first chemistry-free CtP plates. Is the plate business tough in this region? Though it was difficult to bring the third party plate here, it has found a market along with the chemistry plates. Everybody here uses known brands as well as Chinese plates. So the competition is very tough. Having said that, I would like to mention here that, we have won a very big contract in the region and will soon announce it. Do you think CtP market is saturated or there is still room in ME? I wouldn’t say it is totally saturated because we are just finalizing some more installations here in the UAE at the

moment. However it’s not as lucrative as it was couple of years ago. The used market for Ctp’s is also going on well. Last year we sold 3 or 4 used machines. Recently we had two installations in the ME market, we sold a Presstek 800 Pro-AL to Waves Printing Press in Kuwait. The deal was done through AGE Graphic, who is our distributor in the region. In another deal, we delivered a Presstek 34DI-UV four colour digital offset press and a Presstek 9920 single colour offset press to the Egyptian Ministry of Defense. The deal was done by our newly appointed distributor Adler Gruppe in the Egypt region. The general response of everyone is that the market is gradually picking up and we are ready to capitalize on the region’s huge potential for quality printing equipment and plates.

Success knows no limits or boundaries. Paving a success story, Al Bayader International is one of the top packaging solution giants in the region providing packaging services to the worlds most sought after food brands. Seeking the success formula, ME Printer paid a visit to Al Bayader’s 23,000 m2 production unit in Jebel Ali that is equipped with the most modern logistic setups in the packaging industry. Al Bayader, a family proprietary, started operating in the year 1990 as Al Bayader Kitchen Equipment LLC, distributing imported foodstuff packaging products in UAE, from Europe and North America. In 1996, the company repositioned its headquarters to Sharjah. In 1999, the company became Al Bayader International LLC. Soon the company started branches in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah. In 2010, they extended their facilities to Qatar, and Oman. In a recent expansion program they opened a new outlet in Damascus, Syria and thereby ventured for the first time outside the GCC aiming to push its food packaging solutions to Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq markets. The new office in Syria will act as the company’s regional hub and gateway into the Levant and beyond and

comprises of a 350 sq metre office and showroom and also a 3,000 sq metre warehouse. What singles out Al Bayader from the rest, is its ingenious designs and innovative packing solutions. With a product base of over 2000 plus and a customer trail spanning Europe, America, the Middle East, Asia and Africa, their clientele includes big names like the Carrefour, Panda, Paul’s, Le Marche, French connection, Spinneys and airlines like the British Airways, Emirates, Ethihad and Air Arabia. The state-of-the art manufacturing facility in Jebel Ali Free Zone has completed the latest phase of its three year, $22 million expansion programme and now produces up to 8000 tons of plastic disposable products per year. The company possess three advanced sheet line machines for the production of a wide range of disposable products including plastic cups, hinged lids, pastry containers and deli containers. Giving a guided tour through the facility in Jebel Ali, the Chief Executive Officer of Al Bayader, Nidal Haddad, said to ME Printer that, “We now produce 75 per cent of our overall offering, which takes us a step closer to self-sufficiency. By investing in the most modern

manufacturing equipment available, supported by highly skilled manpower, we are able to meet ever growing market demands – not only for stock items but most importantly for custom-designed products our fastest growing sector.” The facility’s logistics element has delivered a rapid return on investment, since its inception just over two years ago. Ninemetre high floor-to-ceiling racking units occupying two thirds of the floor space, act as the nerve centre of operations, accommodating 27,500 cubicmetre (425 forty-ft) containers worth of cargo, plus a loading/ offloading area, which can simultaneously handle up to 12 containers. “Efficiencies are achieved through significant investments in new material handling equipment and warehouse management software that were developed by industry-leading suppliers. The drive-in pallet rack system, for example, complements an existing Selective Pallet Rack system maximising the floor space available for use. This enables the hub to dynamically handle the company’s high density storage requirements and leverage its logistics capabilities,“ Haddad explains. “We are now able to better control inventories – a large

cost for us – and produce the best designed, engineered and highly innovative products, a competence, which sets us apart from our competitors. A nine-color in-line printing capability, one of its kinds in the region, is effectively the icing on the cake when it comes to creativity,” he adds. The 9 color Offset UV European Cup Printing Machine uses CORONA treatment device for cup walls and has a leak proof tester, which can print 700,000 cups in 24 hours. The machinery also has the capability to count, stack and wrap, while a fully-automated robot carton packing device ensures that finished products are virtually untouched by human hands, further guaranteeing that all the company’s products meet internationally recognized standards of quality, hygiene and safety. With over 900 different products in its catalogue, Al Bayader produces tableware to containers including boxes, trays and platters, baking moulds and sheets to bags for food wrapping or hygiene, protection and decoration accessories. These products are produced in a range of materials including paper, aluminium and microwaveable plastic. They make use of machinery like, Sheet Extrusion Line that has an output of 8000 tons per annum with twin screw extrusion, giving better plastic dispersion. The versatility of the machine being that it can manipulate production

ent. In house designers do the designing of the products and so far they have 183 copyrights registered with the company. There are also plans to significantly increase production capacity of some key manufacturing units such as the injection-moulded plastic products like, ‘Crystal trays’, boxes, microwavable containers and aluminium foil and cling film rewinding. Net result for Al Bayader through enhanced logistics operations, reduced export costs and better access to regional markets is year on year growth of 10 per cent since its commencement.

Dubai: Heidelberg Holds Packaging Seminar Industry heavy weights talk about trends and developments in the market

ME Printer April 2011

Heidelberg’s value added applications tailored to the growing demands for the special effects includes UV and hybrid configurations, double coating technology, reverse side printing and duoconfiguration

Heidelberg Middle East organized a packaging seminar in Hotel Bustan Rotana, a day prior to the opening of the Gulf Print & Pack exhibition on March 13. Earlier, Heidelberg had announced that it will not participate in the Gulf Print & Pack exhibition and will instead organize a number of seminars on trends and developments in the graphic arts market. The first seminar was dedicated to packaging. Zeid Al Jehni, General Manager of Heidelberg Middle East kick started the morning session. Other than Heidelberg, Unilever and Gallus offered presentations on their products and general trends in rigid and flexible packaging. Some of the major package printers from UAE and other GCC countries attended the seminar. Welcoming the attendees, Al Jehni said that, in order to achieve a better result in communicating with customers, it’s advisable to offer them business boosting tips as well as instructive information. Heidelberg has decided to hold specialised seminars, during which experts will highlight the latest developments in the industry. Growth and Sustainability Joud Dabboussi from Unilever Procurement was the first guest speaker. The main theme of his presentation was growth and sustainability, although he basically focused on Unilever

and the company’s strategy. Talking about the company he said, “Unilever was created in 1930 from the merger between Margarine Unie in Netherlands and Lever Brothers in UK. Unilever’s’ 13 global brands including Lipton, Dove and Rexona has a sale of over €1 billion or more per year and are part of our everyday life. 160 million times a day someone buys a Unilever product. The company’s turnover in 2009 amounted to €39.8 billion. With 174,000 employees and 273 manufacturing sites the company operates in more than 100 countries around the globe. The deodorant market has also been very profitable for Unilever. The company invests substantially in this range of products that has generated 157% growth in Unilever sales and has driven the market share of Unilever from 26% to 39% and the whole deodorant market by 96%. Unilever introduced 10 innovations to this market during the last decade.” Unilever claims that the company focuses a lot on sustainability. Based on this strategy the company recently launched a margarine packaging that keeps the margarine fresh without refrigeration throughout its duration from the supply chain to home and that it remains stable at room temperature over a shelf life of 12 months. The new pack has a glossy look and feel, whilst reducing the products total carbon footprint. The company

also claims that they will reduce CO2 emission from energy per tonne of production by 25% by the year 2012. When it comes to printing Sheet fed offset, which is the most common print process globally Unilever promotes Sheet size VI (1020x 1420 mm) as the benchmark and optimizes sheet utilization through chaining grain direction. Other guidelines include reduced number of colours, avoiding film laminations and use of standard inks when possible as well as combining offset and flexo to achieve metal effects in one pass. The Beauty of Print Kilian Renschler from Heidelberg Packaging continued the morning session talking about the special effects in packaging and Heidelberg’s equipment and solutions for this lucrative market. Heidelberg’s value added applications tailored to the growing demands for the special effects includes UV and hybrid configurations, double coating technology, reverse side printing and duo-configuration (flexo before offset). Renschler also talked about matt gloss effect with drip-off. To achieve drip off effect conventional ink is printed on the board and then matt varnish with high gloss water based coating on top is applied to the printed board. Renschler also talked about Metal FX color system that no longer exists.

However his explanation on how to get lenticular effects was perhaps the most interesting part of his presentation. The lenticular printed image is a combination of two main elements, a special plastic lens sheet and images processed in a particular way. The plastic lens sheet incorporates a series of parallel lenses on one side. In most cases the interlaced image will be printed on the back side of the sheet and depending on the view angle the interlaced images can be seen through the lenses or lenticules. In order to achieve lenticular effects three images are interlaced in bands and aligned with the lenses. The lenticular lenses filter the three images (frames.) Depending on the view angle, the observer can only see one image at a time. When moving, the observer sees the different image under the lens and with each view angle change a new image comes into focus. In this way the observers sees a flip, animation or other 3D effects. Lenticular functions are fully integrated in Prinect workflow. Lenticular is not a big market but it is certainly an attractive way of offering printed products. Heidelberg’s other solutions for special effect include double coating and cold foil. The fast moving world of FMCG During the afternoon session, Kishore Sarkar, Gallus’s Strategic Development Manager offered an insightful presentation on the fast moving consumer good (FMCG) industry trends and developments. The power point presentation was filled

with facts and figures on global label and packaging industry. According to Sarkar, carton packaging is experiencing a moderate growth. In line printing and converting are preferred by manufacturers and package producers due to rising paper prices and heavy fuel content on recycled board forced many brands to move towards flexible packaging, which is experiencing higher growth. The high growth of flexible packaging as well as the development of high resolution flexo technology has led to the increase in demand for flexo printing. Easy opening and re-closing features are also in demand. That is why brand owners are introducing their products in re-closable pouches or trays. Global Flexo printing market value in 2012 will reach 32 billion Euros. The Middle East share is about 151 million, which is not considerable. However the growth rate of flexo printing from 2007 to 2012 in the Middle East is estimated to be around 32%. Other forms of packaging include glass packaging, metal packaging (both with moderate growth), thin wall packaging, container and specialty packaging (all 3 with high growth rate.) Sarkar also maintains that the label family is growing. The whole label family is divided to three major categories namely pre glued, glue applied and without glue, which includes in mold labels and sleeves. World demand for labels in 2009 reached 40,500 million square meters with the total value of 24 billion dollars. There are many new trends within

the label market. Fruit ripeness indicator label, Time temperature indicator (TTI) label and booklet label are becoming popular. Other new developments include insulating sleeve label, liner less label and OPP partial label on PET bottle (reel fed ½ wrap around label). In order to respond to the FMCG new trends, Gallus has introduced a number of innovations including the new generation UV-curing systems, which is without exhaust and therefore no ozone is discharged into the environment. Newest reflector and lamp technology are reducing (in comparison with last generation) energy costs of up to 10,000€/anum. Thanks to centralised water cooling of machine and UV-curing system, a temperature potential of 2-3 single-family-homes is accessible for a heat exchanger solution. A short web concept like the one from the Gallus ECS 340 is reducing the total web in the machine from approx. 50m down to 12m. With this, the annually produced waste is reduced by approx. 10t/a. This is a cost saving of 40,000€ annually. Earlier a printing unit was built out of 300 parts. The newest generation shows 90 parts only. Functional design can help to reduce energy cost for manufacturing, while lead times become significantly shorter. Kilian Renschler rounded up the seminar by presenting Integrated Packaging Solutions from Heidelberg including Suprasetter family of platesetters as well as customized Speedmaster presses for production of folding cartons and other types of packaging.

World demand for labels in 2009 reached 40,500 million square meters with the total value of 24 billion dollars. There are many new trends within the label market

UAE: Arjowiggins Introduces its Latest Range of Creative Papers The paper manufacturer holds technical seminars in Dubai and Abu Dhabi

Arjowiggins, one of the major producers of fine and creative papers, in collaboration with their representative Giffin Graphics organised a technical seminar in Dubai to introduce its latest range of creative papers as well as to detail the instructions on how to print on them. The morning session was for printers, while the afternoon session targeted graphic designers. A similar seminar was also held in Abu Dhabi for graphic designers. Charles de James, the company’s

Business Manager for fine papers, started the session using video clips that presented the new range of Conqueror papers, which includes the Conqueror Bamboo brand. De James claimed that the new paper is 100% environment-friendly because it has been made of natural fibres and pigments. The new paper is offered in five colours and comes with watermark. It is made of FSC approved pulp. According to De James, bamboo is a fast growing plant and it’s beneficial for the eco system because it absorbs CO2 and generates oxygen more than other trees and it also retains more water than other trees. Another new range of paper within the Conqueror family is called the ‘Print Excellence’, which offers vivid colours, bolder blacks and faster drying time. Print Excellence is offered in two finishes; wove and bamboo and in size B1. The company is also developing SRA3 size for the digital printing market. Arjowiggins offers 5 new typefaces specially designed by Jean Fran-

cois Porchez for Conqueror brand. These fonts can be downloaded from the company’s website. De James also talked about other ranges of Arjowiggins papers such as Curious Collection and Rives as well as KeayKolour, which will be introduced later on in 2011. Followed by De James, Trevor Sowood, Arjowiggins Customer Technical Service Manager offered some tips on how to print on these fine papers. The printing operation on these papers is tricky and needs special care and attention. The designer has to take into account the limitations of these papers during the designing process. To print on these papers, printers should use highly oxidized or UV inks and should provide longer time for drying. In order to avoid set-off, anti set-off powder must be used. Sowood also presented many printed samples to underline the potentials of these papers, which can be used to print high quality catalogs or brochures and other advertising collaterals as well as luxury packaging.

Interpack Packaging Exhibition

ME Printer April 2011

The exhibition will be held from May 12 to May 18, 2011 at Düsseldorf, Germany

Tsunami After Effects

The Tsunami Effect on the Japanese Printing Community ME Printer April 2011

Japanese companies come to grips with the aftermath of disaster

The 9.0 magnitude earthquake that shook Japan last month created much damage to the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infrastructure and key components like, power, water and sewage systems. While the impact of this disaster has affected the daily lives of the Japanese people, as belonging to the printing community, we are also interested to know more on the impact it had on the printers

and the consumable industry. ME Printer contacted many Japanese companies to know the exact rate of destruction faced by them. What we found out is that the major concern that affected printing houses was the disruption of power and the exhausted supply chain that is running up to meet with the demand. Though printing companies and manufacturers are facing initial lags they are con-

fident to resume their operation within a monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time. According to the Japan Screen & Digital Printers Association (JSDPA), there were some slight damages that affected the screen printers and with basic necessities limited the industry operations are also affected. Working together, to recover from this massive disaster, the Japanese community is holding hands to rebuild the nation.

Konica Minolta No major damages were reported to the production sites of Konica Minolta, while its distribution sites and sales offices in the Tohoku (north eastern) region reported some damages. Officials from the company said that this did not make a huge impact on their production or sales. In other reports it is said that the production of toner, developer and OPC’s at its Kofu factory has been disrupted due to power outages and that it will be transferring some of the facility’s toner production to its Tatsuno facility. The company said that in an effort to support the relief work going on in Japan they are donating $ 635,000 to the Japanese Red Cross Society.

Mimaki Mimaki Engineering based in Nagano, Japan said that its factories and offices based in Japan has not suffered any damages but the operation of its Sendai sales office in the northern part of Japan is limited and it reports that their employees and families are not affected by the catastrophe. Akira Kurosawa of Mimaki Engineering confirmed that, “The office itself is ok but the electricity and fuel supply is limited.” When asked what measures they have taken to counter this situation, he said, “We have sent our technicians with all necessary items from the company’s headquarters in order to support and help our customers.” He also added that they expect operations in the Sendai office to return to normal by the end of this month.

Roland

Canon Inc. Significant damages were reported to nine of Canon Inc’s facilities including Utsunomiya plant, Toride plant, Ami and group companies, Canon Precision Inc., Canon Optron, Canon Chemicals, Fukushima Canon and Canon Mold. The manufacturing process of toner cartridges, ink tanks, camera products and other office imaging and camera products were affected. The company expects to continue its operations within a month’s time, while it’s planning to use alternate sites that were not damaged by the earthquake as a means of continuing production. Official press reports indicate that 15 of its employees were injured in the disaster. Canon in a measure to aid relief measures has set up an Earthquake Disaster Recovery Task Force that will draft a recovery plan and they have decided to donate US$ 3.22 million to the Japanese Red Cross Society.

Ricoh With five of its manufacturing plants affected by the recent earthquake and tsunami, Ricoh’s printer, copier and supplies facilities are suspended for the time being. The production process at Tohoku Ricoh Co. Ltd and Ricoh Printing Systems Ltd. has been suspended for a while. Rolling blackouts and disruption of de-

livery are the challenges faced by the company. Three other plants of Ricoh are partly operating that is involved in the manufacture of MFP’s, printers, parts, supplies and toners. In line with other companies, Ricoh has also decided to contribute a sum of $ 3.81 million to the relief works in Japan.

Komori Komori suffered minimal damages and stated that none of its production facilities were affected. While, in a press conference they stated that their partner companies located in the Tohoku area are not able to produce and supply parts constantly for them. They have confirmed that as on March 15, 2011 the number of presses and customers affected in the Tohoku, Kanto and other areas account to 445 presses and 175 customers. Komori has established a Disaster Countermeasures Office to inspect the conditions of their customers, partner companies and of Komori employees. This team has measured that around 10 presses were displaced and they are now in the effort to reconstruct damaged presses and equipments.

ME Printer Shares the Grief

ME Printer sent out a letter of solidarity to the disaster struck country. Below is the content of the letter: “We at ME Printer express our heartfelt condolence and grieve in your pain, as nature’s fury ripped away Japan on Friday night. Holding hands with you, our thoughts are with the people of Japan as we mourn the worst natural disaster. We extend our hopes and prayer through this poem of Yamamura Bocho, Each of the rain drops has a tale to tell, about the sorrows of people, about the hardships living things go through, about the arrival of sparrows.”

Kodak Donates $100,000

Adding aid to the relief efforts in Japan, Kodak has announced a $100,000 donation to the International Red Cross relief efforts to help survivors of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. “The challenges facing the people of Japan are beyond description,” said Augie Melendez, Kodak’s Chief Diversity & Community Affairs Officer. “We hope this contribution will help relief efforts in the months to follow,” added Augie. Kodak reports that its facilities in Japan were not affected by the natural disaster and all Kodak employees and their families in Japan are safe. ME Printer June 2009

Roland DGA, manufacturer of wide-format inkjet, reports that it sustained no casualties and damages in either of its factories and offices located in Shizuoka and Nagano. Reports claim that these facilities are continuing normal operations. Shimpei Otsuki of Roland DG said that the company is investigating the effects of the earthquake and he added that some of their suppliers and trans-

portation network were affected by the natural disaster, which has caused some delay in the delivery of its products. Shimpei added that, “We are receiving a lot of condolence messages from everywhere.” Talking on the impact on the print industry, he said that they are yet to assess the total damage though a major sign industry related exhibition, the ‘Japan Shop’, which was scheduled to be held in Tokyo is cancelled due to the situation prevalent in the country. Other reports from Roland said that there would be minimal supply issues worldwide as stock will be sourced from other Roland distributors if the shipping from Japan is to be delayed.

Digital Technology

A TIME FOR INNOVATION Digital push into the mainstream

ME Printer April 2011

printing industry

Just when we thought the recession is over, disaster strikes in Japan and with the Middle East on the edge one wonders how a printer in our region could possibly survive in such unusual and unpredictable environment. The good news is that despite all the unrest in the region and a dragging recession, printers have adapted to the new realities

by cutting costs, offering quality products and services to their customers and at the same time diversifying. Many printers in the region especially in UAE are using MIS systems as well as digital printing solutions to attract more customers. But there are many new emerging ways that enable printers to generate extra revenues.

Innovative ways to increase revenues

One of the emerging opportunities for printers is photo merchandise, a broad category that includes items such as photo greeting cards, photo books, photo calendars, enlargements and photo mugs. These items have caught the attention of consumers and retailers. Consumers like them because they make good gifts and retailers like them because they are high margin products. Digital cameras and mobile phones equipped with cameras are now generating millions of photos every day and consumers like to keep some of these pictures in printed format. This creates a huge market for printers. Many digital printing press manufacturers are offering solutions for this market. Canon recently introduced a new printer specifically designed for photo book market. The new press called DreamLabo 5000 is considered to make the company’s entry into the commercial photo printing market. Canon claims DreamLabo 5000 will challenge the silver halide technology market and enable new revenue opportunities from the production of high-value print merchandise such as photo books. “The market for photo books is strong and continues to grow rapidly. With consumers demanding high-quality printed images, Canon has extended its renowned inkjet technology to create a commercial printer that raises the standard of image quality for the photo book industry,” said Gareth Thomas, Development Manager, Digital Imaging, Canon Australia. Building on Canon’s existing inkjet technology, which it has successfully

deployed through its PIXMA desktop printers and imagePROGRAF wide format range, the DreamLabo 5000 features a newly developed high-density print head, enabling the printing of output up to 305 mm wide. Incorporating Canon’s FINE (Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering) technology, the print head, which features over one million nozzles, enables the printing of high-quality photos to support a variety of high-value-added output, from photo books and calendars to high-quality POD items such as customised brochures. “DreamLabo 5000 sets a new standard for the printing of highquality images and high-definition text and is aligned with the needs of commercial photo printers and print-on-demand specialists looking to provide premium merchandise,” continued Thomas. DreamLabo 5000 uses a sevencolour dye-based ink system that gives a smooth gradation expression. Employing image processing technology that makes use of the full range of Canon’s unique inkjet printing colour gamut, the new printer enables the output of photo images with a level of colour representation that overall surpasses the conventional silver halide photographs. The system also gives high productivity with duplex printing capabilities with an on-board guillotine reducing post print process production costs. In addition to the inkjet technology, the high-end commercial printer also includes units for de-curling, skew correction, inspection, front and back cutting and temperature control and holds up to four paper rolls. By enabling paper

and ink tank replacement during printing, the DreamLabo 5000 supports the extended operation times required for production printers. The wide print head delivers One-Pass Printing that requires only a single pass of the printing paper, while the print head remains in a fixed position. When used in combination with the automatic double-sided printing function, the DreamLabo 5000 is capable of printing the contents of a 20 page A4-size photo album in just 72 seconds.

Personalisation and mass customisation

While most economists agree that the recession is over or at least in retreat, the impact of new media will continue to change the way that people communicate. Service providers must reassess the services they offer and the value they are delivering to clients, evaluate emerging markets and technologies. Personalisation and mass customisation of printed products are very much in demand. HP’s newest technology that fulfills this demand is a T400 Color Inkjet Web Press. HP claims that the new machine is the graphic arts industry’s largest and most productive commercial digital color press, bringing the concept of mass customisation to printing by combining the personalisation features of digital printing with the efficiencies of high-volume production. With its unmatched width and its 600-foot/minute (183-meter/ minute) speed, the HP T400 Color Inkjet Web Press prints up to 5,200 full-color, letter-size pages per minute, this is 44 percent more

than the closest solution offered by competing vendors. HP unveiled the press at the offices of O’Neil Data Systems, a Los Angeles-based data-driven marketing communication firm that now uses all four systems in the HP inkjet web press portfolio namely the HP T200, T300, T350 and the new T400. HP also introduced several additional solutions, including an HP magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) system and third-party coated media, as well as workflow and finishing solutions from members of the HP Graphic Solutions Partner program. HP additionally is offering customers an option to upgrade HP T300 presses to the faster T350 platform. “With more than 25 installations worldwide, our inkjet web press systems are changing the business dynamics of applications such as publishing, transpromo and direct mail,” said Christopher Morgan, Senior Vice President, Graphics Solutions Business, HP. “With the significant throughput capacity, the new HP T400 offers customers a break into the world of true mass personalisation and customisation and take advantage of substantial new growth opportunities.” The HP T400 offers high-quality imaging by reproducing sharp text and images, as well as uniform area fills. New HP A50 processcolor inks work with new HP A10 printheads, which use HP Scalable Printing Technology in a compact 1,200 nozzles-per-inch printhead design. New, advanced web tension controls and dryer systems provide reliable, fast and consistent productivity.

Users of standard-size (20.5-inch) digital web press finishing equipment can produce two jobs simultaneously on the HP T400, using an optional slitter at the end of the press to convert the roll into side-by-side webs. Scalable job impositioning tools for high-level prepress efficiency from Ultimate Technographics – a member of the HP Graphics Solutions Partner program – allow operators to impose separate variable-data jobs side by side on the web. Other HP Graphics Solutions Partners, including finishing and paper transport system suppliers EMT, Magnum Digital Solutions, MBO and Muller Martini are presenting solutions that offer to support the HP T400 platform. Additional industry suppliers, including CMC, Compart, GMC Software Technology, Hunkeler, Lasermax Roll Systems, Tecnau, Videk and WEKO, also are showcasing solutions to use with HP Inkjet Web Presses. Pitney Bowes is highlighting high-volume transactional/transpromotional uses for a new HP Inkjet Web Press technology. The HP T400 will become part of a new IntelliJet 42 solution for transactional/transpromotional markets, extending the range of IntelliJet size and speed configurations. “Pitney Bowes is delighted to be collaborating with HP to introduce this new solution to high-volume transactional mailers,” said Ramesh Ratan, President, Document Messaging Technologies, Pitney Bowes. “This is another example of how we are working together to create solutions that can help our customers deliver increased efficiency and productivity to generate more

powerful and valuable customer communications.” Scheduled to be available later this year, the HP T400 is part of a broader production printing portfolio that includes HP Indigo liquid electrophotographic imaging presses. With a global install base in excess of 5,000 presses, HP Indigo is a market leader in high-value, offset- and photoquality digital printing. Since introducing the first HP Inkjet Web Press in 2008, HP has continued to gain momentum in publishing, direct mail and transactional and transpromotional markets, with more than 1.46 billion pages produced on HP Inkjet Web Presses in 2010. HP is presently installing its first HP inkjet web press in Asia at book exporter, CTPS’ plant in Dongguan, China. “HP’s T400 is a powerful addition to the Inkjet Web Press family and extends it into unheard ranges of digital print productivity,” said Jim Hamilton, Group Director of industry analyst firm InfoTrends. “These are revolutionary devices that compel marketers and content providers to re-imagine what can be accomplished with production digital print.” O’Neil Data Systems is home to the first HP T400 press installation, making it the only customer facility to have all four HP Inkjet Web Press models. The company also uses HP Indigo Digital Presses to produce a variety of high-end jobs, including covers for Inkjet Web Press-printed publications. O’Neil Data Systems also uses HP Exstream customer communications management software to compose complex, variable-data document streams at full press speeds. The company is using HP Exstream and the HP T400 press to produce MarketSmith, a personalised financial research publication delivered weekly. ”The HP T400 Color Inkjet Web Press truly is converging on offset speeds, while providing the benefits of a digital printing environment,” said James Lucanish, President, O’Neil Data Systems. As with all HP Inkjet Web Press models, the HP T400 prints on virtually any standard uncoated or newsprint paper, as well as on a range of coated papers. HP

announced the immediate availability of the new 115 and 130 gsm Jaz coated papers from Sappi for use with HP Inkjet Web Presses. The papers are now available in Europe and the Asia Pacific region, with additional weights scheduled to be available there soon.

Launch of MICR printing solution for HP Inkjet Web Presses

MICR, a technology commonly used in checkbook printing, will soon be available for use in a wider variety of applications with the new MICR HP Inkjet Web Press solution. Available for order now with new HP T300 and T350 purchases and scheduled to be available with T200 and T400 models sold later this year, the solution consists of new black MICR ink with a print bar that inserts into expansion slots on all HP Inkjet Web presses. The HP Inkjet Web Press MICR solution enables direct and transactional mail printers to use only one pass to produce balance transfer check mailers, rebate check mailers and other popular direct mail products. This method avoids the significant document security and inventory storage demands with existing workflows, which require valuable MICR documents to be preprinted and then locked away, with additional finishing, inserting or full-color printing steps completed in subsequent steps just prior to mailing.

Digital Newspaper

The newspaper industry is going through a bumpy road these days. Raining relief to this industry, a number of digital vendors have launched print solutions that will help publishers to print newspapers digitally. Heavyweigths like, Océ, Screen, HP and Kodak are trying to enter this market. Océ’s DNN prints a large volume of newspapers throughout the world at six different sites using Océ monochrome continuous feed press. These sites are located in Sydney, Singapore, Zurich, London, New York and Los Angeles and major print titans such as the New York Times, The Guardian, the Nikkei, the Neue Zürcher Zeitung, the Globe and Mail and many others use this facility. This decentralised newspaper printing market is also called as ex-pat, tourist or business community newspapers. This model works

well in our region and Atlas Printing Press uses screen technology to produce newspapers digitally here in UAE. Newspapers are looking for ways to compete in advertising against new forms of media and see the opportunity of producing highly targeted zoned newspaper sections carrying much focused advertising and editorial features. Digital printing will allow such very short run sections to be produced and combined with the offset newspaper sections in the mailroom. These are few innovative ways that could potentially help printers find new revenue streams. There are of course many more solutions in the market. But printers first should feel the sense of urgency and act accordingly. Tough times still lie ahead and nothing but innovative ideas can help us go through these extraordinary times.

ME Printer April 2011

Industry giants and titans meet up to display the latest in packaging and printing at Gulf Print and Pack

2011 digital solutions for printing and packaging. Affirming the success of the show there was a strong demand for space for the next edition of the Gulf Print & Pack. It must be surprising to know that 56 per cent of the available space was pre-booked as the show wound up for the year. Tarsus group, organisers of GPP later announced at a press conference that a table-top exhibition for the package printing industry named the Pack Print Summit will be held in accordance in November 2012 in Dubai. Roger Pellow, Managing Director of Gulf Print & Pack, said, “We are very pleased with the feedback from the show. Gulf Print & Pack exceeded expectations by attracting printers in greater numbers and from more countries than before, emphasizing the strong growth in the region. The number of large business deals concluded at the show is very encouraging and a sign of good things to come.”

Movers and Shakers

So who got that million dollar deal? Whose score cards ranked higher at the end of the day? Was it Canon, Xerox or Kodak? Covering the movers and shakers in the show, we give you an overview on who did

what and also filling you with some interesting observations from the printers. The show news includes many deals that were sealed or finalised during the exhibition including the sale of a Kodak Nexpress 3000 digital press to Asiatic Printing press. Vipin Ramachandran Company’s General Manager said, “The machine has the capability to offer high quality and features 3 dimensional printing. During recent years there has been a noticeable shift towards short run printing. We have to give our customers the quantity they ask for. That’s why 4 years ago; we embarked on an investment spree for digital printing. We purchased a range of digital printing machines including the Xerox presses and a Kodak Nexpress M700. Our recent investment in Nexpress 3000 will further strengthen our position in the digital printing market.” Canon took advantage of Gulf Print as a perfect platform to officially announce its partnership with Océ, which is now part of Canon. For the first time both companies showcased their range of products and solution in a shared stand.

Scooped with different flavors of printing and topped with the exotic trends in packaging, Gulf Print & Pack was the venue to not only exhibit latest products and techniques in the industry but also a dais for discussing and analysing the ever emerging and changing trends in the printing industry. Debates and analysis of industry experts filled the hall at the Airport Expo from March 14th to 17th, 2011, which attracted around 8,187 people from across the region with a good turnout from countries like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Nigeria and Iran. The packaging and printing event was officially inaugurated by Abdulla A. Al Saleh, Under Secretary, Ministry of Foreign Trade, UAE. Visitors came from 83 countries and 36% of the overall attendance was from outside the United Arab Emirates, which indicates the industry’s growth in the entire region. Four hundred international and local exhibitors came up with their range of products and services and many demonstrated the actual printing process. Giving food for thought, seminars and interactive sessions were hall packed, wherein industry experts discussed topics like facing the threat of counterfeit, issues in security printing and

cause of the recent natural disaster in Japan offered his condolences to the people of Japan and assured journalists that Canon will move forward with its plan for growth and expansion. He said, “Canon’s strategy for the next five years revolves around diversification, globalisation and expansion in new business areas. In Middle East, Canon will focus on offering added value services to customers. Canon is planning to become the number one company in digital printing arena.” He went on then to explain Canon’s line up for GPP. Following his address, Wil Snijders, Océ’s Managing Director for direct export also offered his sympathy to the Japanese people, who have suffered due to the recent calamities in Japan. Snijders speech was focused on their partnership with Canon. He said, “In a globalised world, partnerships are an essential part of life and it’s vital for companies, who want to maintain their position and be successful around the globe. By partnering with Canon we can leverage our knowledge and grow together with Canon. Snijders also said that with the support of Canon, Océ can further explore the Middle East market, however for the time being Canon is not planning to sell Océ’s products through its sales channels here in the Middle East.

Growing graphic arts market

Rene Thueler, Muller Martini’s Sales Manager talked about the recent sale of two Diamant MC 60 Book lines to King Fahad Complex for the printing of Holy Quran as a sign of the company’s success in the region. However Thueler also said that Muller Martini was never as strong as other competitors due to the higher price tag on its products. According to Thueler, Muller Martini’s soft cover book binding lines and saddle stitchers are more in demand in the Middle East than other products within their portfolio. Robert Grauf and Mark van Brakel hosted the Agfa stand. Brakel was upbeat about the success of Agfa’s prepress range of products in the region. He said, “Overall in the Middle East we experienced a 49% surge in our sales volume. The demand for our prepress products including CtP plates is high. Our Azura chemistry free plate, which uses thermofuse technology is really picking up in the region. These plates are more expensive than conventional plates but considering the environmental benefits the overall cost of printing using Azura plate is less than conventional. Grauf believes there are two main reasons that printers should vote for chemistry free plates. It reduces

waste and it doesn’t need water, which is considered a precious resource. On the other hand there is also the cleaning factor. When using Azura the number of times that a press has to be cleaned during the day is reduced. This means more productivity and less downtime. Bobst, another big player in the show focused on offering information and networking with its customers. Ray Obeid, Business Director for webfed range of Bobst products in the Middle East, who has recently joined the company, believes it’s time to invest in high quality package printing and converting equipment, especially from the European manufacturers. Obeid, who has years of experience working in European companies and in the banking sector believes the quality Bobst is offering through its wide range of products cannot be matched by Asian manufacturers. He said, “Middle East is able to accept and afford the high quality that Bobst is offering.” Regarding the exhibition, Obeid said that he expected more visitors; however the quality of visitors was very high. He said, “We had very good conversation with clients. It is clear to us that people want to invest. We met people from all over the region especially from Jordan, KSA and Iran.” Xerox’s stand perhaps was one of the busiest stands in the show. Xerox used entertaining tactics to draw the crowds. The theatricals included local men with falcons and men performing break dance. John Paul Teti, PSG Business and Production Colour Manager for Xerox Middle East and Africa Developing Market Operations said the exhibition for him is more of a networking opportunity with potential customers, although it would be great if some big deals came along the way as well. “This event would serve as a jumping off point where we officially declare

because here you find technology, market and knowledge in the same place but tensions in the region are affecting the development process. We have also developed a complete workflow with EFI and we have 2 customers in Dubai, who are willing to install the first inkjet press called the Jetcard, dedicated to printing on plastic. I think Dubai will be, after US and Paris, the first city to install this new technology. We are also launching next month a new press based on laser technology.” Lucas Barthelson, Regional Sales Manager of Plockmatic said that even though the show was small it had high quality of visitors. Talking on the show he said that, “The interest for Plockmatic machines was much higher than expected. Overall, it was a very good show for Plockmatic. Plockmatic has a

strong owner with the right financial resources to continue building Plockmatic. We do this in two ways, expanding our product portfolio and geographical market presence. Middle East is an important step in that direction and we look forward to a strong and long lasting relationship with Ali Alhashemi.” Xingraphics a major plate manufacturer is all set to reinforce their brand. Safwan Hijazi of Xingraphics said that the company offers superior quality, which is comparable to Fuji, Kodak and AGFA, with a competitive price tag. He said that their manufacturing facility in China had put them in a skeptical position but they are getting recognized now by the caliber of customers who use their products. “Giffin Graphics is working with us in Saudi Arabia and global partners like Heidelberg and Manroland use

We have also strived to feature expert opinion and views that throws light on the future of printing and packaging industry in the region and beyond.

that we got through economic downturn and people are ready to invest. We want to meet as many potential customers as possible,” commented Teti. Meanwhile Chris Govier, Xerox’s business production manager said, “We are not only offering equipments in our stand. We are also promoting our business development tools, which enable our customers to sell print. We help our customers to capture opportunities. We train the sales people and make sure they understand the applications. I believe that events such as Gulf Print & Pack will help us to spread awareness regarding digital printing applications. Printers are always looking for that next big technology that will help them differentiate from the rest. Offset printing has been highly commoditized. What we do is to help printers find new opportunities to make money. Application approach is at the forefront of what we do.” Victor Abregel, Executive Vice President of MGI believes that digital printing has taken 100 per cent of the market. They recorded sales of 2 Jetvarnish, 5 DP60’s and a DF360 machine during the event. Victor believes that MGI’s success formulae lies in handling the printing applications in the market. He said, “Everybody is looking for added value on print and according to me the spot UV varnish is one of the best in the post printing operations. Our technology is simple to use and requires no films and plates. It is also cost effective and is low on pollution compared to the traditional machines. That makes sense for customers to invest on this technology.” With a lot of prospective clients coming in for MGI, they had a large visitor turnout from countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Nigeria and also from UAE. He added, “We have done around 120 installations in the Middle East and the region is a quite an important market

our products under their brand names. In the Middle East, we sell around 3 million square meters of thermal plates and we are investing quite a lot on new technology like processless plates. Our business is growing more than a 100 per cent year on year since 2007 and to keep going we have doubled our manufacturing capacity. So, our policy is to continually invest and make sure that 20 percent buffer is there to cover our shortage of plates. Currently our potential capacity is between 30 and 35 million square meters of thermal plates,” added Safwan.

Digital is gaining ground

Giffin Graphics had much more in its cards at the GPP; they announced their tie up with InfoPrint Solutions, a Ricoh company, which appointed them as the authorised distributor for production print solutions in UAE. Journalists were summoned to a press conference at Giffin’s stand where Patrick Giordano, Business Transformation Director, EMEA and Eric Dubois, Director of Cutsheet & General Office Solutions of InfoPrint Solutions presented a quick power point show that briefed on the latest

and upcoming printing trends and some back up information on InfoPrint. They projected that by the year 2020, offset business will decrease by 9 per cent; while there will be an increase of 17 per cent in digital printing. Ramzi N. Kteily, Managing Partner at Giffin Graphics said that, “We chose to partner with InfoPrint Solutions following meetings at Drupa 2008 and Ipex 2010 where we were impressed by the company’s technology and high value solutions, as well as customer results in the field. We believe that printers in the Gulf region are ready to embrace InfoPrint Solutions’ approach to solutions, particularly in the areas of precision marketing, automated document factory and workflow management.” Kodak’s Nexpress printing technology was the talk of the show, with visitors queuing up to see live demos on the machine. Affirming this response, Komal Sharma, Managing Director, International cluster said that, “The Nexpress range of machines are a show stopper and is attracting a lot of customers. We sold a Nexpress 3000 to Asiatic Printing Press, UAE during the Gulf Print & Pack 2011. We offer a complete packaging solution with the Kodak Flexcel NX Imager. They provide high quality products, which is not achievable using other packaging solutions.” He added that, “Digital presses have a great future as they have developed to a great extent and provide offset quality prints. Another important segment is the Prosper Press Platform of Kodak. They target book and direct mail markets and also are used for catalogues, inserts and magazines. They give printers maximum productivity as run lengths are reduced and they deliver print on demand products. This year visitors came all over from the Gulf region from countries like Oman, Bahrain, Qatar and there were a lot of customers from Egypt, Indonesia and Nigeria.” Sharma said that there was a pick up in demand for prosper and prosper related products as prosper provides flexibility, good quality and durability. He claimed that the Middle East market for Kodak is quite on the rise and that they are looking forward to increase their business in the region. “During the Gulf Print & Pack we have sold the Nexpress series to countries like UAE, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and South

Africa. We have signed deals for four multiple units in each of these countries,” added Sharma. With the opening of a new factory in Dubai, Flint Group had a busy time here, tackling customer enquiries and negotiating deals. Anothy Murphy, Commercial Director & General Manager of MENA region said, “Flint group is in the show for the very first time. We have observed here that water based inks are gaining popularity among customers and dealers.” He believed that the role of FMCG industry is very vital for their business. Anthony said that with the adoption of international standards and techniques in the FMCG industry, they have gained a large market in packaging and inks, with a lot of international companies seeking their products. Impressed by the outcome of the show he said, “Gulf Print & Pack was a great success for Flint Group. GPP is the Drupa of Middle East, it attracts a lot of international buyers and exhibitors and Dubai is an ideal hub to market and meet potential customers.” Colorbit Cooperation Middle East LLC had mixed responses from the Gulf Print & Pack. Dr. Hamid Jaberizadeh, ColorBit Managing Director and CEO said, “ColorBit has been here in the Gulf Print & Pack show since its inception. Middle East and the Asian market have a lot of capacity to offer to the print world. These shows have to be organised such that one will build up to the benefit of the other. This GPP around 300 visitors came to our stand and we have sold a Heidelberg SM74 model 2000 to Iran.” He added that the demand for used offset machines are still high among customers and will remain for another 10 years. Packaging industry has gone places with the advance of new technology. Al Dana Décor had a big stand offering their complete range of packing and printing solutions where the main attraction was the Fully Automatic Rigid Box Machine that produces 1,500 boxes in an hour. Ammar Taha, Managing Director, Al Dana said, “We had a very busy time here at the Gulf Print & Pack this year. We have on display a wide range of materials that cater to the demands of various industries like covering, book binding stationery, packaging,

decoration, printing and textile garments. There was around 50 serious enquiries made during the event and we have sealed 4 deals in the show. We had quite a visitor turnout from Middle East countries like Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine and Egypt. As an expansion procedure, we have started a new branch in Saudi Arabia owing to the huge demand in the area. Now we are in the process of manufacturing hard boxes in round shape.” Tom De Langhe, Sales Manager EMEA of Punch Graphix was a happy man, who opined that digital printing technology has great demand in today’s printing arena. “Our direct to press and computer to plate prepress sectors have a good market in the commercial and newspaper sectors. This year we had very good visitor turnout and had potential customers from countries like Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Pakistan. We also signed deals on 4 of our machinery, which will be finalised later on. The year 2010 was very good for us as we sold around 200 machines last year,” he said. Tom added that the Middle East market has a great potential and there is a lot of scope for growth in this market. He said that they gained in the recession phase as they sold a large number of conventional plates with printers preferring them owing to their low cost.

National pavilions

Lucrative pre owned market

With millions of turnover, the used printing equipment market plays a major role in the industry. Participating in association with UPEX there were a number of dealers who dealt with prepress, printing, finishing and ancillary equipment. Robin Vauvelle, Managing Director, White Horse Machinery, UK said, “Gulf Print & Pack had a humble beginning by catering to the regional demands and over the years it has grown to be an international puller that attracts buyers and sellers in the printing and packing industry all over. White Horse Machinery deals extensively

on Heidelberg machines and I would say that Heidelberg offset presses have a huge demand in the pre-owned printing market. This year, the show was very promising and we got a gross deal of around 750,000 pounds during the show. Mainly there were four deals, in which we sold a Heidelberg 52 Speedmaster to a company from Oman, a 6 colour 52 Speedmaster also to a company from Oman, a 74-4 colour Heidelberg to a company from Iran and a Heidelberg 2 colour GTO to UAE. We had many new clients from countries like Armenia, India and Nigeria.” Participating in accordance with UPEX, Kool Graphic Trade (KGT) from Netherlands offered a range of pre-owned or used sheet fed offset presses and book bindery machines. Hans Krocké of KGT was optimistic on the show. Hans said that they were here for the 2nd time in the Gulf Print & Pack exhibition and they were seeing very good prospects so far. Dealing in security printing, Dar Alakl Electronic Printing Co. from Saudi Arabia mainly uses Rotatek machines. Khalid Hussain Khoja, Executive Manager of the press said that, “The security printing field is a

Sporting the Iranian flag and clustering six companies under the Iranian pavilion, the Iran Print Industry Exporters Union created a platform for the Iranian printing industry to interact with international printing and packaging companies. Bobak Abedini, Vice Chairman of Iran Print Industry Exporters Union said, “Iran has non tapped resources and capacities. Our main aim is to provide companies information on the Iranian market. It was very important for us to be in the Gulf Print & Pack because we think that Dubai is an important area in the region and it provides a platform where all the companies in the region come and meet, interact and do business.” He said that the main demand in Iran is for flexible packaging, offset and commercial printing and that there is always a demand for high end technology with the govern-

ment sector helping them the most to get updated on the latest techniques and products. The Iranian companies that took part in GPP include Asanpack Gazvin, Mazandaran paper and Wood Industries Company, Pardazesh Tasvir Rayan, Chaap Safa, Saybec Group and Honar Graphic Ghaem. Abbas Abolfatheeyan, Ghaem’s Chairman of the board was upbeat about the success of Iranian pavilion in attracting visitors and generating business leads. He said, “We had visitors from 19 countries Including Italy, Germany, Czech Republic, UK, Spain, Sudan, Nigeria, India, Pakistan, Syria, KSA, China, South Korea and UAE.” According to Abolfatheeyan, many companies were keen to represent Iranian companies and some European companies also encouraged Iranian companies to manufacture and market European products under license in Iran. There were also an agreement between the Iranian delegation and Roger Pellow, Managing Director of Labels and Packaging group to translate Label and Digital Printing Encyclopedia to Farsi language. Expanding their CtP market and focusing on the chemistry free plates, Presstek had a very busy time with many potential clients signing in deals at the stand. Jack Dean, Area Sales Manager of Presstek said, “We are expecting to sign deals on couple of Ctp’s and have got enquiries on our DI 54 and DI 52 machines. Though, I would say that with the situation in the Middle East becoming very volatile, everything has become unpredictable.”

the foam materials used for display boards.” Bo Österman, Group CEO, De-Mill said, “We have had pretty much good response during the Gulf Print & Pack where visitors came from countries in the GCC, South Africa and Iran. Our factories are located in Finland and Shanghai with a regional office in Jordan. De-Mill provides complete packaging solutions, while following the 3R’s namely Reduce (CO2), Replace (non-eco-friendly materials) and Recycle. This is our first time in the Gulf Print & Pack but we have received overwhelming responses from visitors here. The main thing that attracts visitors is its light weight and its flexibility to be converted to any desired shape and model.”

Paperworld Middle East Taps Potential Market in the Region

ME Printer April 2011

The first ever trade event in the region reinforces the demand for writing instruments

Debuting in the Middle East region, Paperworld Middle East covered a wide range of office and paper products and witnessed the participation of a large number of international industry professionals and decision makers, especially from the Middle East region. Organized by Epoc Messe Frankfurt, the event was held along with Playworld Middle East that targeted toys, games and children’s lifestyle products. The show, a regional

Monica Kubik, Senior Show Manager, Messe Frankfurt was enthusiastic on the show outcome. Sharing her experience on the three day event, she said, “Paperworld Middle East was fantastic, the response we had was overwhelming. For being a first time event held in the Middle East region, the show was attended by paper product manufacturers and suppliers from around the world. This year we had a very high rate of participation from the Indian subcontinent and there were exhibitors from the Middle East countries like Egypt amid the tensions in the region.” She added that, “Over 6, 246 exhibitors participated in the event and the show featured National Pavilions from all major stationery exporting countries including India, Taiwan, Malaysia, Germany, China and Singapore.” Monica Kubik said that there was a high demand for more space throughout the entire preparation process from the international and local businesses and they are plan-

adaptation of the much popular Paperworld Frankfurt, was held at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre from 7 to 9 March 2011. The Paperworld global network also incorporates Paperworld China that is being held in Shanghai since 2005. Paperworld’s product portfolio includes office supplies; school articles; gift articles; greeting cards & calendars; wrapping; office paper & films and household paper products.

ning for a much wider show space for the next Paperworld Middle East encouraged by the response from the region. She added that, “Middle East market is a key player in the worldwide paper industry and recent research reveals that the GCC market for paper products is worth around US$700 million, with the UAE accounting for around US$400 million and Saudi Arabia another US$220 million. By expanding to the Middle East, Paperworld seeks to enable its partners to better access and interact with this growing market.” This year, Epoc Messe Frankfurt organised the show in partnership with Remax, Europe’s biggest trade fair for the recycling of printer material and accessories. This year, Remax will be rebranded as Remanexpo in association with Messe Frankfurt and Recycler Publishing & Events. David Connett, Managing Director, Recycler Publishing & Events Ltd said, “With the backing of Paperworld Middle East, we are confident that we can

successfully grow in this marketplace. As companies are becoming more conscious of their financial and environmental activities, we intend to promote the benefits of using re-manufactured cartridges and inkjets.” With the global demand for sustainable paper products on the rise, consumers have increasingly switched to recycled paper or paper products from sustainable resources in an effort to reduce their carbon footprint. Currently the global demand for ‘green paper’ is estimated to be around 16.8 million tonnes. This is set to reach 24.8 million tonnes by 2016. These observations were recorded by Pira International Market Intelligence Report. Market researches reveal that the GCC paper industry has a market value of about US$ 700 million, where UAE accounts for over US$ 400 million, while Saudi Arabia accounts for another US$ 220 million with Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman sharing a US$ 65 million among them.

added that currently they have paper mills in China and Indonesia and the PaperOne brand goes to countries like North America, Australia, Europe, Japan etc. Sunil Sood added that the price of pulp will continue to grow for the next 2 years, as there is no major capacity to supply pulp for the next two years. “Our’s was the single largest capacity so far and with increased demand, paper price is sure to shoot up. Latin America will add on to this capacity only by the mid of 2013-2015. The demand of Indian and Chinese markets, where many paper mills are coming up, will also affect the price factor”, added Sunil. Talking on the market pressure, he said, “Many of our customers are from China, who deals in pulp. So, we have this policy of selling them pulp and marginally competing with them to leave space at the bottom end of the market for others.” When asked on the shift of growth from Central Europe to Asia, he said that the shift is now completely centered to Asia. He opined that the growth center is now from South of Japan to Middle East and Africa. “This is where demand will grow; we have actually seen demand growing in US and Europe, while it’s flat to declining in Japan” Sunil further said that though Paperworld Middle East was held for the first time, they had some very good response from their

customer’s side. He accounted that 95 per cent of their customers in this region arrived at the show. He specified that countries like Iran, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and the rest of GCC are important markets for them. He commented that the demand for recycled papers in the region is minimal as most want clean, white sheets. Swapan Guha, Deputy Mill Manager said, “We operate at a high level of efficiency. We have a fully automated mill and we believe that consistency is the most important factor. We operate at a higher end market and our customers’ demand good quality products. We are producing around 815,000 uncoated paper and are on the look-out for an organization to transfer this know-how to the Chinese dealers.” Talking on the facilities available in the company, he said that they work in an integrated process and have their own forest and the facility is operated by about 3 and half thousand people to make 2 and half million tonnes of pulp. “We generate our own electricity and manage our own ports and we are still growing by almost 2 per cent and this growth will continue for the next two decades. As of now, our focus is on pulp and uncoated paper. With the adoption of ColorLok technology, the inkjet industry is doing quite well. We were the first six companies that got the license to adopt this standard.”

Tapping into this market, April Fine Paper Trading Pte Ltd. offers sales and marketing service of offset rolls, folio sheets and cut-sizes. Established in 1998, its flagship brand – PaperOne is available in more than 60 countries and with the incorporation of the ColorLok technology the PaperOne products now offers high print quality with bolder text, vibrant images and sharper colours. Talking to ME Printer, Sunil Sood, Head of Sales and Swapan Guha, Deputy Mill Manager of April Fine Paper discussed the new trends and shifts in the paper industry. Briefing the company’s activities in the region, Sunil Sood said, “We are the second largest manufacturer of pulp in the world and also the market maker for pulp in Asia. We produce about 4.2 million tonnes of pulp a year. With upcoming installations, our paper side would be double by the end of 2013. Our company has a revenue base of around 2 billion dollars and we are one of the most competitive producers in the world for both pulp and paper. As far as quality is concerned, we are making high end products. The brand Paperone is selling in 70 countries, which is mainly used for office use. We also make folio sheets and offset rolls for printing. So at one hand we have the consumer end of the business, which is copy paper and at the industrial end we have rolls and folios that goes to printers for offset printing. Explaining their trade operations in the Middle East market, Sunil Sood said, “Though we have only 10 per cent, we sell here at the premium end. In the Middle East, let’s say 300-450 million tonnes would account for the premium end. We rank 3rd in this market and for the last six years we have put up a dedicated office here and we have people covering ME and Africa from Dubai. We have a consistent growth every year. Middle East market has a lot of potential and promise in it and we maintain a very good relationship with our trade channels as well. We believe that at least for the next decade, there will be no strong competitor for us in the Middle East.” He

HP adopts ColorLok ColorLok papers are ideal for inkjet and laser printing and are compatible with different types of printing equipment. This technology is based on a concise set of paper standards combined with a class of paper additives that delivers vivid colours, bolder blacks, faster drying times and high performance. Larry Tracy, New Business Development Manager for HP in USA, said that, “Since the adoption of the program, the program licensees sold 1.3 billion reams of ColorLok paper to date in 183 different paper brands. He said that the ColorLok standard has been adopted by 14 major paper manufacturers and channel partners worldwide. Larry further said that in independent laboratory tests conducted by Buyer’s Lab Inc. (BLI) and commissioned by HP, papers using high amount of GCC and talc with large particle size were correlated to increased rates of laser printer failures including misfeeds and paper jams, reduced service life and poorer image quality. The opportunity presented to manufacturers of low-cost office papers by the shift to papers with higher filler content is to differentiate their products through control of the quantity, particle size and type of filler materials, while offering a superior product at affordable price. Adopting ColorLok standards offers that opportunity.

Asia Pulp and Paper (APP) launched two new brands at the first ever Paperworld Middle East exhibition. The Middle East launch included two high end paper brands named Inspira and Enlivo. Suneet Sood, General Manager, APP, Dubai Rep-

resentative Office said that these high end brands deliver superior quality, designer notepads, journals and other writing instruments catering to customer preferences. APP, a leading pulp and paper company is one of the largest vertically integrated pulp & paper producer in Asia. Suneet added that APP currently markets in more than 65 countries in six continents and its pulp, paper and packaging capacities in Indonesia amounts to over 7 million tonnes. They use fiber from plantations and wood residues of plantation development. Suneet Sood added that currently their production comes out of 60 per cent from plantation and 40 per cent from virgin wood. Talking on the first ever Paperworld Middle East, he said that they had positive responses from their customers and were visited by potential customers across the GCC countries. He added that APP has appointed distributors in the region and is looking for more diverse and integrated business in the region. APP deals in coated papers, printing, industrial packaging, office products, tissue, specialty products, stationery, publishing and fancy products.

ME Printer’s road to Paperworld Middle East

Paperworld Middle East was a new beginning and a new boost for the region. Covering the exhibitors of office, stationery and paper products; the magazine met up with some of the big names in the industry. We have prepared an extensive report on the paper industry along with expert opinion from HP, APP, APRIL etc to update our readers on the latest know how in paper and stationery products. Visitors from all over the world turned up at ME Printer stand to browse by the latest news in the printing and paper industry. This issue we have included a detailed report on Paperworld Middle East and what it offered to the region.

Al Dana Décor Material Trading Dealing in book binding materials and machines, Al Dana Décor has been in the region for almost a decade now. Participating in the Paperworld Middle East, they displayed a range of new collections that included binding cloths, PVC materials, PU materials from Italy and binding accessories. Ammar Taha, Managing Director, Al Dana Décor had a very good report to share with ME Printer on Paperworld Middle East. He said that, “This show is really interesting for us, as for a first time show, we had some very good responses. We had customers visiting us from all over Russia, Iran, Africa and other parts of the world.” When asked about the current situation, he said that the book binding market is actually booming and they have expanded their market to Saudi Arabia, where they will be starting a new branch in Riyadh. He said that the Saudi book binding market is in a boom as Dubai experienced 10 years ago. Ammar Taha shared his intention to participate in a much bigger show space for the next Paperworld Middle East. Al Dana has a regular clientele from countries like Oman, Bahrain, Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Azerbaijan and also from Turkmenistan.

Iraq, Sudan, Iraq and Azerbaijan. He said, “Paperworld exhibition held in Frankfurt, Germany covers a much bigger show space when compared to Paperworld Middle East but I believe that the visitor demand is quite, equal while comparing both shows. We would be very much interested to participate in this Middle East version of Paperworld next year.” Talking on the constraints faced by the paper and stationery industry in Egypt, Ibrahim pointed out that the obstacles faced by the industry have led to some harmful business practices. The lack of raw printing materials in the Egyptian market,

such as printing technology used for printing on propane solid material, like designing and printing the covers of books and paper document, has led companies to print in other foreign countries like China and later import them again to Egypt resulting in an increase in cost price that is borne by the company. Ibrahim was optimistic about the future of this industry in Egypt, which according to him will overcome the current crisis because of the economic potential in Egypt provided a sound economic plan that allows for the exploitation of the country’s resources optimally.

Egyptian Pavilion

As a good will gesture, Epoc Messe Frankfurt organised a tour of Dubai, a day prior to the Paperworld Middle East. The tour was held for the entire Paperworld team from all over the world like, China and Russia along with invitees from international and regional press organizations and publications. The visit turned to be a great opportunity to interact and meet with the team behind the exhibition and to learn more on the world trends in the industry from international press officials. A full day event, the tour started at around 9.30 in the morning that included visiting Murshid Bazaar, the Iranian market and stationery markets like Al Fahidi.
