Editor’s Note

Eskandar Jahanbani Editor in Chief

On October 25th the heavy metal rock band Metallica performed in Abu Dhabi. Thousands of metalheads (including me) poured into the Yas Arena to get the bitter sweet taste of Electric guitars and wild music. I haven’t been to a heavy metal concert since almost 20 years. Now you might ask what does that have to do with printing. First of all, for this particular concert many diehard fans of Metallica travelled from neighbouring countries to watch their music icons and to indulge in the head banging rituals. They were all armed with mobile phones taking snap shots and recording the scenes on the spot. Thousands or maybe hundreds of thousands of tweets and Facebook messages were travelling in the virtual space detailing what was going on. The video of the event was posted on You tube long before the Newspapers or other printed materials found the chance to write about it and by the time local newspapers published the news, the fans were already thinking of when the next band will travel to UAE. When I was watching all those mobile phones high above everyone’s shoulders, trying to still the moment, I realized that something fundamentally has changed. Being among all those mostly young people, I suddenly realized that the change maybe is happening much faster than I thought or hoped for. We all love printing but we have to accept that there are much more efficient ways to spread the words, something that conventional printing has been doing for hundreds of years. During the same day I visited a very successful printer in Sharjah who recently invested in a 5 colour press. The manager of the press was confident that the offset is here to stay and there is no reason to panic. Well I also like to think so, however after what I have experienced during Metallica concert I think we’d better embrace ourselves for a period of mind boggling and drastic changes and prepare ourselves. By the way Metallica rocks!

The change in printing industry is happening much faster than we thought or hoped for

Lebanon: Printing Association Honours Pioneers

ME Printer November 2011

The event lauded the efforts of the printers in the region

The Printing Association in Lebanon, under the auspices of the Minister of Industry, Freij Sabounjian, honoured the owners of ten print institutions that served the industry for more than fifty years. The celebration, which was held at Le Royal Hotel in Dbayesh, Beirut, was also attended by the Minister of Information, Walid Daouk, Minister of Public Works and Transport, Ghazi Aridi, Former Minister Elias Hanna along with Mohammad Baalbaki and President of the printing association, Joseph Sader, President of the Association of Lebanese Industrialists, Grace Afram, Director General of the Ministry of Labour, Abdallah Razzouk, the Director General of the Ministry of Culture, Omar Halbulb etc. ME Printer magazine also

attended the event, on the invitation of the Executive Director of the Association, George Tiberias. The ceremony started off with the National Anthem of Lebanon, after which the Secretary of the association, Nazih Karki made the welcome speech. Followed by it, Joseph Sader reviewed the efforts of the Printing Association in boosting the printing industry and expressed the hope to activate and organise the printing sector in Lebanon. He said, “We are fed up by the repeated demands and problems in the sector. We are looking forward to revive the sector based on the legislation of the country and the new techniques in the industry. Also we are trying to activate the private sector, which will in turn

help the public sector. Despite all these shortcomings, we have not given up our hope and we are aiming for the best.” Sader ended his speech by saying, “Through printing we deliver a great service, otherwise the world would have remained in ignorance and would have had to depend on the language of the nature, like whistling of the wind, trickling of water etc. for communication.” Minister Sabounjian, while addressing the event said, “I am delighted to be in this gathering, with people who have replenished the world with their printing works.” He praised the efforts of the printing presses in the region and said that industry has about 1,450 presses, which employ about 15,000 people.

Palestine: Ajyal Qabatiya Press Kicks Off The new press is equipped with a Heidelberg machine A new printing press is born in Jenin, West Bank. Ajyal Qabatiya Press started its activities with a one colour Heidelberg 110 press as well as a Gestetner copier and a cutting machine. The new press will be handling all kind of commercial jobs as well as books, wedding cards, forms etc. In an exclusive interview with ME Printer Essam Zakarnah, owner of the press said,”This new press for me is a dream come true. I have been working in the printing industry since 1973 and from the early days of my career I

have always dreamt of having my own printing company.” Zakarnah also added that the used equipment he bought from the previous owner were all in a very poor condition and he had to refurbish them personally. However the machines are now in a good condition. Sourcing spare parts for machine was also a huge challenge, due to restrictions imposed by Israel on all the industries in West Bank. Zakarnah adds, ”Sourcing consumable and spare parts in West Bank is very challenging since Israel does not allow the

free movement and transportation of industrial goods, as well as raw material and consumables from neighbouring countries as well as within occupied territories.” According to Zakarnah due to political problems the government in West Bank is facing difficulties and economic hardship, thus not being able to meet its financial commitments, which in turn affects all industries within West Bank.” However he is hopeful and already looks forward to expand his business by investing in a colour printing press.

Saudi Arabia: Post Election, Advertising Market Recovers by $ 270 Million The municipal election campaigns revives printing market and newspaper industry

ME Printer November 2011

Local election committee defining the rules for candidates

The Saudi Municipal elections revived the advertising market in the country, amid estimates that the total expenditure of 5,323 candidates has crossed more than one billion riyals (around US $ 267 million) during the 11 day campaign. With the average expenditure limit for each candidate set at 200 thousand riyal, newspapers in the country dedicated a lion’s share of their ads for electoral purposes. Some candidates have even opted for front page advertisements. While the estimated cost for advertising on the first page ranges between 40 and 90 thousand riyals, the demand for flex boards and

street ads were also on the rise. It is estimated that the cost for placing banners and outdoor advertisements had crossed 30 thousand riyals in just two weeks. New media was also not left behind as a platform for advertising. Candidates filled prominent websites with their declaration, while some preferred to open their own site to communicate with voters. Fahd Sarami, an expert in the advertising market, explained that the average cost of the election campaign in the cities of Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam were more than 5 million riyals; while in other cities it

was around one million riyal. Sarami, in a report published by the Arabiya website, said that, “The expense of the campaign plummets due to the high cost involved in advertising through print media etc. The advertising rate for this election has been much higher when compared with the earlier elections and especially after the election committee blocked the distribution of flyers, banners etc. the demand for advertising through newspaper and other publications has gone up.” Fadl Abu Eineen, a financial expert, said that, “The election cost can be divided into two sections, the first relates to advertising in print materials, which has increased remarkably, especially as some of the candidates have taken the first page ads. The cost for advertising full or half page is very high and shaves off a major chunk of the budget. The other part of the cost goes in replenishing the election supporters, which includes providing food and beverages and other extravagances.”

celebration of the introduction of Armenian typography and also for celebrating Yerevan, the capital city of Armenia, being declared as the Book Capital 2012 by UNESCO.

Dr. Ismail Serag El Din, Head of Bibliotheca Alexandria, stated that this symposium and the other two exhibitions ensured the vital and important role played

by Bibliotheca Alexandria. He added that since its inauguration in 2002, the centre has served as a window for Egypt to the whole world and vice versa. Hasmik Poghosian, Minister of Culture for the Republic of Armenia commented, “I am grateful to the organisers of the symposium, who stressed the importance of Yerevan, which was declared the Book Capital 2012 by UNESCO, as well as in organising the exhibition, which put on stand rare Armenian manuscripts.”

Kodak Installs 15,000th CtP Device in China The installation includes Kodak workflow, CtP and digital print solutions Wuhan JinGang, a commercial printing company in Hubei Province, China, recently installed a KODAK TRENDSETTER 800 Platesetter, which also marked the company’s 15,000th Thermal Computer-To-Plate (CTP) device installation to date. Kodak commercialized thermal CTP in 1995 and has since continued to develop new technologies that make these devices faster, more automated, and more sustainable. Thermal CTP devices enable printers to image press-ready thermal printing plates directly from computer files. Thermal imaging technology provides the stability printers need to produce high-quality printing. Wuhan JinGang installed the 34 plate-per-hour, V-speed Kodak Trendsetter 800 Platesetter with autoloader, which is a thermal 8-Page CTP device offering outstanding image quality, stability and maximum efficiency with advanced automation. In addition, they have also contracted to purchase KODAK Thermal Plates, Ko-

dak Prinergy Connect Workflow, Kodak Matchprint Inkjet Proofing System and Konica Minolta’s BizHub Press C6000, a mid-volume digital press sold by Kodak. “Our company chose Kodak because of its ability to offer a total, integrated solution for CtP, colour management, proofing, and digital print,” said Wu Shaoguo, Chief Executive Officer of Wuhan JinGang. “We have improved our automation and efficiency, which means we can deliver jobs more quickly and with higher image quality. By installing these products, we have been able to keep up with the growing demands of the marketplace.” Many printers in emerging markets are just now converting over to CtP devices, while developed markets are replacing their aging equipment to become more competitive. “The installation in Wuhan JinGang is a great achievement for Kodak and we are expecting to see an increase in both CtP and digital printing across China,” notes,

Richard Chang, Sales Director of Prepress Solutions and Unified Workflow Solutions, Greater China Region, Kodak.

KODAK DENIES RUMOURS

In response to rumours circulating in the capital markets, Eastman Kodak Company issued the following statement. “Kodak is committed to meet all of its obligations and has no intention of filing for bankruptcy. The company also continues to actively pursue its previously announced strategy to monetize its digital imaging patent portfolio. Kodak remains focused on meeting its commitments to customers and suppliers and on delivering its strategy to become a profitable, sustainable digital company. It is not unusual for a company in transformation to explore all options and to engage a variety of outside advisers, including financial and legal advisers. Jones Day is one among such advisers that Kodak is working with in that regard.”

KSA: Printing Market Scales a Growth of 1.5 Billion SAR

The Saudi printing market that is worth around 1.5 billion Saudi Riyal, is on a growth path as the advertising sector in the Middle East is recovering rapidly. The advertising spend in the region jumped 24 per cent over 2009 to become 51.4 billion SAR in 2010. This high rise in the advertising expenditure is expected to drive the huge demand for printing, packaging, signage and graphic services. According to Pan Arab Research Centre, the Saudi advertising expenditure rose 6 per cent in 2010 when compared to a 4 per cent decline in 2009. The commercial

printing market in Saudi Arabia is estimated to be worth over 1.38 billion SAR. With this high market, the requirement for more efficient and advanced equipment and services has arisen in the region. Aiming this market, Saudi PPSG, the 10th International Packaging, Printing, Sign and Graphics Technologies Exhibition, will be held from November 28th to December 1st 2011 at Riyadh International Convention & Exhibition Centre. Saudi PPSG will showcase the latest technologies and solutions for the regions growing printing, packaging and

Saudi PPSG aims to bring in solutions that can help printing, packaging, signage and graphic companies streamline their operations and costs, while delivering the highest levels of quality to a very demanding local market.”

And with flexible workflow, feeding and finishing, the Xerox 800/1000 Presses will offer you a clear business advantage over traditional printers. The difference is clear.

Ajman : Nabeel Printing Press Goes For a New CtP

ME Printer November 2011

The New Platesetter delivers a run length of about 3000 sq.mtr per month

Upgrading their CtP facility, Nabeel Printing Press in Ajman has invested in a new Fuji semi automatic Luxel V-8 CtP machine. Explaining the installation details, Jain Sathian, Business Development Manager of Nabeel Printing Press said, “We have been gluing on with Fuji since 2003 and are very much satisfied with the performance delivered by their CtP machines. So, when the thought of an upgrade came up, we decided to stick on to the same brand. The new machine installed at our facility is a Fuji Luxel V-8 model

that comes with a dual beam and it runs on violet diode.” Adding on to the capabilities of the machine, Jain said, “Currently we print all sorts of commercial jobs on the CtP machine and it has an AM/FM screen and prints at a resolution of about 3657 dpi. The machine prints 200 lines per inch and has a run length of about 3000 sq.mtr monthly.” Regarding the performance of the new CtP machine, he said,” The new machine meets all our specifications. We wanted a machine that would give us high quality

output and at the same time that is reliant and compliant free. Fuji meets that all. For the curing, currently we are the using the digital plate finishing solution from Fuji film called Brillia and we are using Fuji’s XMF as the workflow solution.” The Luxel V-8 was supplied by Dynagraph. Established in 1990, Nabeel Printing Press also houses an HP and Epson heavy duty plotter, Heidelberg offset machines like CD102, SM74 and SM52 apart from other packaging and laminating machines.

Libya: Spur in Publications, as The Country Gets Press Freedom More than 200 new publications resurfaces in the region More than 200 independent publications have sprouted in Libya, after the downfall of the Muammar Gaddafi regime. With a whole lot of action happening outside, people are more eager to catch the latest news; reports a newsagent from the country. According to the reports of Reuters, people are finding the publishing business booming and the market is flooded with a wide range of content and publications. During the regime of Gaddafi, state censors had held the media under tight scrutiny and

newspapers were forced to publish matters and articles provided by the state news agency. The law also imposed serious punishments for journalists, who broke the rules; they were either jailed or kidnapped. Publishers in the region are jubilant with their new found freedom. Abubaker Hammuda, who runs Al Taleb printing says, “It’s good because in the past, we couldn’t print anything without a permit. Now, no one asks us what to print.” A special committee formed by the National Transitional

Council (NTC) aims to promote and support free press in the country. According to a proposal put forward by NTC, it was suggested that the government will pay the printing cost of the first three editions of any new publication and will offer discounted printing services thereafter. Most of the newspapers available are tied to Libya’s nine or 10 main cities, and the publications linked to Tripoli or Benghazi appear to be most widely distributed. There are small editions issued from villages, but they are poorly circulated.

Sharjah: Al Mawrid Installs a Heidelberg CD 102 The 5 colour machine is an up-gradation to its packaging facility “At that time, Heidelberg was the only known brand in the market and our suppliers, Ali Alhashemi gave us good support. Till now all our operations have been done in Heidelberg machines and we are very satisfied with the performance delivered.” Al Mawrid does all commercial and packaging jobs and was one of the first companies in UAE to invest in a CD machine. Apart from the CD machine installed two months back, the print house equips a Speedmaster 8 colour of size 70 x 100, Speedmaster 5 colour, CD 74, 4 colour, SM 52, 4 colour, SORM GTO machine and in prepress they have a Screen CtP machine, a Konica Minolta digital printing machine. In post press they include a Müller Martini Saddle Stitcher, Müller Martini Perfect Binder and other systems like foiling machines, Bobst diecutters etc. Another special feature of Al Mawrid is that most of the jobs printed here are done on Rich Mineral paper. The paper is manufactured from stone paper with non-toxic resin. Pulp is not at all used in the manufacturing process and it is 100% tree

free. Talking about the paper, Babukutty added, “Eighty per cent of the printing jobs can be done using this paper. These are water resistant, not easily tearable and have more strength than normal paper. Supplied by Paper PRO, this paper can be used for manufacturing books, shopping bags, cards etc. As far as the price is concerned, it is 10-15% costlier than the normal paper. The paper has good ink absorption, colour separation and also matt surface for true image colours.”

Babukutty, while explaining the formation of the company said, “The press was bought by Thomsun group about 30 years ago. The initial printing operations were to print labels for the audio and cassette business of the group. Slowly we started taking jobs from the market and added more machines to the press.” Talking about his involvement with the pres, he said, “Prior to joining here, I worked as a teacher in Nigeria. I joined the press in the year 1985 and from then have been involved in the operations of Al Mawrid.” The printing press is literally a Heidelberg house. Explaining the reason, he said,

UAE: Xerox Introduces CiPress, High-Speed Waterless Inkjet System The machine can print up to 2,180 full colour pages per minute

Xerox recently launched the new CiPress™ 500 Production Inkjet System, which is a high speed waterless inkjet device. The machine can print 500 feet or 2,180 full colour pages in a minute. The twin engine device helps to create products for personalised marketing, transpromo and publishing pieces. The inkjet system was tested by dmh Marketing Partners, a directmail company that creates more than 800 million pieces annually. By using the Xerox CiPress 500, dmh achieved consistent quality from page to page, spending less time on recalibrating the printing

press and more time maximising profitable revenue opportunities. “We are constantly looking for cutting-edge technology to drive the manufacturing process and we believe the CiPress 500 is the best technology for high-volume production,” said Randy Seberg, Chief Technology Officer, dmh Marketing Partners. Xerox CiPress 500 enables printing on low-cost, plain paper without the ink soaking through. This – together with self-monitoring and auto-correcting production controls – results in a workhorse device reliable enough to print tens of millions of pages every

month. Along with this the Xerox’s FreeFlow® Print Server enhances productivity by handling complex variable jobs without sacrificing print speed. “The predictability and consistency is very high – the first sheet looks the same as sheet 500,000, which I could never say of an offset press,” added Seberg. “As the demand for colour pages continues to grow, inkjet devices such as the Xerox CiPress 500 become a strategic installation – positioning printers to capture more profitable jobs and produce them in the most productive, economical way,” says JP Teti, Manager, Production Technology Xerox, Middle East and Africa. The list price for Xerox CiPress 500 Production Inkjet System, including the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server, is $3.8 million for the base twin-engine duplex. Order taking begins immediately with installs slated for later this year and the CiPress will be available in the Middle East region in Q2 2012.

Dubai: High Visitor Turnout Expected For SGI 2012 In an interview, Sharif Rahman, CEO of IEC talks about his expectations for SGI 2012 Falak Holding recently announced the 15th edition of the Sign and Graphic Imaging Middle East’ (SGI), which will be held in early 2012. The show is scheduled to take place from January 31st - February 2nd at the Dubai World Trade Centre. Abdul Rahman Falaknaz; Chairman of IEC stated, “When we started our journey 15 years ago we had representation from few countries but today we are proud to say that over 296 exhibitors from 23 countries had participated in the 2011 edition and the numbers are set to grow further in our 15th edition next year. Our show has generated sales amounting to billions of dollars for exhibitors serving the digital printing, signage and outdoor advertising industries in the last decade and a half. We could achieve all this because we also had a great team to put the show together.” “We are committed to the printing industry in the UAE and the region and we strongly believe that SGI Middle East is the only show to receive visitors of such high calibre and as a result we continue to see year-on-year growth in both visitor and exhibitor numbers,” said Falaknaz. “It’s a special year for us and we will introduce new components, which will be unveiled closer to the show. We had a strong turnout from across the GCC as well as East Africa, the Sub Continent, Europe, Asia among other geographies. The quality of visitors who attended the last edition of SGI Middle East was amongst the best we have ever seen and we expect the trend to continue into 2012,” added Falaknaz.

Sharif Rahman, CEO of International Expo Consults LLC (IEC) in an interview with ME Printer outlined the success story of IEC and its growth so far. “IEC was established on 15th of April, 1994. At first, we started by organising sports exhibitions and our first show for the region was Sportex. From there we grew to organise about seven shows. We had done a show in Kenya for 3 or 4 years in a row. In association with the Dubai Chamber of Commerce, we also did a show in Mumbai, India called, ‘UAE in India’, which showcased all the products and services available in UAE. IEC gradually gained name as a brand and we were recognised world over. But after the recession and the global crisis, shows all over the world shrunk. ISPO held in Europe was supposed to be the best sports event, earlier it was held in about 75 halls and now they have come down to 6 halls. Trade shows are not successful as it used to be and it is the case with all industries.” About their experience in organising shows, Sharif said, “We were handling about 5 shows in Dubai, one in India and one in Kenya. But right now we are organising DEAL (Dubai Entertainment and Leisure show) and Sign and Graphics.” Sharif who has been associated with Falak Holdings for the last 35 years thinks that exhibitions are facing a slowdown and that recession has further reduced the show size and participation of exhibitors. Upbeat about SGI 2012, Sharif said that SGI 2012 is expected to grow by 20% compared to

the last edition. “Signage is a communication medium, so the louder you talk, the more people you attract. Today the strength of a product lies in its potential to communicate. So, communication by whatever means is a required process.” Detailing the show prospects, he said that they were expecting more than 7000 visitors to the event next year and expects more Chinese visitors and exhibitors to the event. Ruling out the possibility of merging the exhibitions, Sharif reasoned,” Printing industry is very vast and signage is just one particular segment in it. I don’t think that a particular show can cater to the needs of the printing industry as a whole. Currently the focus of the industry is to hold segmented shows that cater to the needs of the respective audience. Our strength in SGI is that we pull out exhibitors from the Middle East, East Africa, South East Asia etc.” Sign and Graphic Imaging Middle East (SGI) is an established 14 year old business forum where exhibitors and visitors can interact with sign makers, print and production manufacturers, architects, media agencies, real-estate developers, brand and image consultants among others. This forum will also include seminars and workshops conducted by industry experts. Falak Holding for the last 30 years are doing diversified business including real estate development; retail - sports, fashion, home furnishings; exhibitions, medical diagnostics, trading and many more as part of its portfolio.

Though we are relatively new in this field (Canon launched LFP business in year 2000), every year we have been able to increase the machines appeal and therefore have increased the sales. So, it’s a growing business for Canon.” He also added that Canon is still using the waster based system and with the integration of Océ, now they offer UV printers from Océ, Arizona. Miyano explained that though the integration with Océ is still not complete, their customers and resellers have full access to the entire Canon and Océ products. On their focus in the Middle East and the market in general, he said, “We are focusing more on the Middle East region and such events further enhances our reach and support.”

Dubai: HP Explores Innovative Terrains The company launches novel web enabled printers and scanners for EMEA region

HP Middle East recently introduced its latest range of imaging and printing solutions at a press conference held at the World Trade Centre, Dubai. As an exhibitor at the GITEX technology week that was held in Dubai, the press conference detailed the company’s new ventures in the region. The media event was attended by Amin Mortazavi, General Manager, HP Imaging and Printing Group Middle East. David Hallisey, World Wide Strategy and Marketing, Influencer Communications, HP Imaging and printing group EMEA, Susanne Heis, Vice President and General Manager, HP IPG MEMA and Robert Dinkelacker, Product Marketing Manager, HP IPG EMEA. Explaining their market strategy and reach in the region, David Hallisey said that HP has a market share of about 65 % in the overall print business in the Middle East. “We have grown throughout the years. In 2001 our revenues were 19 billion and today we have reached 26 billion. With the increase in demand for iPad enabled devices, we had worked with Apple to bring the web enabled

ePrint application, which has become a huge hit. It was a year ago that we first started web enabled printers and the good news is that today we have installed about 10 million items globally. Out of this 10 million, 3 and a half million are installed in Europe, ME and Africa. Our patents have climbed by the year and we add about 1000 patents a year. So, it is not just about providing hardware and inks but we are focused in providing the entire print solution.” Detailing more about the Photo Smart printers, he said that these printers come with customizable email addresses that enable customers to email the job to the printer. Robert Dinkelacker, Product Marketing Manager, HP, EMEA announced the new web connected hardware and software innovations for professional graphics, enterprise, SMB and home users. “The new colour laser printer is designed for SMB’s and is efficient and cost effective. The new power saving feature puts the machine in a sleep mode where it consumes less than 1 watt of power.” The new range of HP Scanners, which are called digital centres can scan documents and put them on to networks for sharing, so that any one can re-share it with one touch or either email it through the digital centre. HP’s communication management tool includes the HP Exstream 8.0 that enables assured delivery and receipt of on-demand documents, electronic signatures for accelerated transactions and expanded multi-channel capabilities.

Later Amin Mortazavi and Susanne Heis explained about the anti-counterfeiting campaigns held in the region. Mortazavi explained, “About 700 billion dollars are lost annually on a global basis due to counterfeit products. Every year about 200 thousand jobs are killed in Europe, Middle East and Africa. Together with Dubai law enforcement, HP confiscated about 50,000 illegal items in UAE. The police actions in August saw authorities raid the counterfeiters’ base of operations, seizing a total of 35,000 ready-for-sale counterfeit inkjet and over 13,000 finished fake laser print cartridges as well as more than 1,200 fake security labels intended for illegal use.” Throwing light on the program that tackles counterfeiters, Susanne said, “We have a prudential training program where we explain to customers the dangers of using counterfeit products. While installing a cartridge for the first time into an HP printer, the printer’s manual automatically detects the authenticity of the cartridge and if it’s a fake sends an immediate message to the customer and explains the procedure to report the same to HP. We have also included this security feature in HP labels too. Using the QR code reader in a smart phone, customers can check the authenticity of the product by scanning the product and verifying with HP centre.” HP in association with the Ministry of Education, has launched the HP Planet Partners program, which will help users return and recycle original HP printing supplies.

Frankfurt said, “This region is a very important area for us strategically, both in terms of our German shows and also for the shows that our Dubai subsidiary hosts here. Paperworld Middle East, for example, has evolved from our mother fair, Paperworld in Frankfurt and we are delighted to see it having taken off in the Middle East region, opening up a new marketplace for us.” Ahmed Pauwels, Chief Executive Officer of Epoc Messe Frankfurt – Messe Frankfurt’s Middle East subsidiary, said, “Demand from the region for the very latest product lines, styles and trends is increasing as consumers become more discerning. We have received a large number of inquiries about visiting and participating at the upcoming trade shows from buyers in the region. The spring shows – Heimtextil, Christmasworld, Paperworld, Creativeworld and Ambiente – not only reflect the latest trends and products but are also considered important indicators of the future direction of their respective industries,” Pauwels added. Pauwels later talked to ME Printer and discussed the current situation in the region. He said that the effect of the

Arab spring was positive to a large extent on the company’s business. “We were asked in the beginning by officials to be careful of the events and the current political situation in the Middle East but we explained to them that Dubai is an international commercial centre and the market is very good here. Post revolution, Dubai is recovering as there is a flow of investments and business from the neighbouring countries. In addition, Dubai also provides stability and an ideal working environment.” Representing the world of paper, office supplies and stationery, Paperworld is the parent show of the recently-launched Dubai event. The upcoming Frankfurt show, taking place from 28th to 31st January, 2012 is further streamlined with an optimised hall concept to enable a more efficient visitor experience. An interesting variety of complementary events and campaigns are on the cards for visitors and exhibitors alike, including a series of lectures at the Paperworld Forum on topical issues including the ‘green’ debate. Last year’s edition of Paperworld saw 879 trade buyers and visitors from the Middle East.

Iran Rotative’s top managers. The program included visiting both private and government run print and packaging centres, to hold meetings with industry authorities, conducting three specialised seminars in three targeted provinces. The seminar held in Khorasan Razavi Province in Mashhad saw the participation of about 150 people.

The seminar discussed the strength and reliability of Heidelberg laser systems, their modularity and also other topics like, how thermal platesetters reduce down-times and wastes etc. Addressing the gathering on the

conclusion of the tour, Mohammad Shahpur Esfarjani, Managing Director of Iran Rotative said, “The development of printing industry in the neighbouring countries of Iran is noteworthy. We can attribute this growth to their knowledge in the industry and the know how they possess but the government initiatives and support is also a major factor for the development in those regions. Measures adopted to protect investments and also monetary supports such as easy pay back policies within 8 to 10 years with trifling interest rates of 5 to 7 per cent have made their investments successful.” Talking about Heidelberg’s role he added, “The market trend towards VLF machines has been increasing within the past years and is surely justifiable for some investors engaged in special packaging and commercial print, but more important is Heidelberg’s stand, viewpoint and permanent support for small and medium print houses.”

ARABIA

DEFINES TRENDS IN PAPER, TISSUE & CONVERTING INDUSTRY The event sees the participation of more Chinese and Indian companies

exhibitors will be participating this year either directly or represented by their partner companies. The major sponsor of the event is APP whereas CNHPIA is supporting the show. This year, the participation of Chinese and Indian companies has increased by over 20 and 15 per cent respectively.” Following the welcome speech, Suresh Kilam, Executive Director of APP Global offered some facts and figures on the world paper market. He said, “Paper consumption in Europe and the US is declining mainly due to the intrusion of electronic media. Each iPad entering the market takes away over 10 kilos of cultural paper from the market, whereas adds 3 kilos

of industrial paper. With the paper production decreasing in the western world, China has now emerged as the number one paper producer. Last year alone, China produced over 93 million tons of paper, while US produced 85 million tons. American paper market is shrinking in a rate of 1.8%. At the same time, the paper market in Asia and the Middle East is growing. It is forecasted that by 2020, China will produce 168 million tons of paper, which is higher than the local demand. So, the excess production must be exported. Since US and Europe have imposed Anti dumping and countervailing duty (CVD) tax on Chinese paper, all of the Chinese manufacturers’ look to Asia

NEW PRODUCTS. NEW CONCEPTS APP the third largest paper manufacturer in the world introduced a range of new products in the show. Including CUPSTOCK, HI KOTE and SAAVI PACK. Cup stock paper is specially engineered food grade paper suitable for food and beverage applications. Manufactured using renewable materials, product is available as base paper and PE laminated also. Hainan Jinhai coated paper under the brand name Hi Kote is a new product that APP offers to meet the requirements of the graphical paper and board consumers. Its unique feature of four layers coated surface benefits the print quality with even and fine details on the printed images. Hi Kote 2 sides coated paper ranges from 150 gsm up to 270 gsm. The Abu Dhabi National Paper Mill (ADNPM), manufacturer of jumbo tissue rolls was an active participant at the 4th Paper Arabia show 2011. Talking on the importance of the show in the region and their participation, Helmet Berger, General Manager, ADNPM said, “Abu Dhabi National Paper Mills is a major producer of tissue in the region. Unlike writing paper, tissue has a very solid growth all over the world. In this region, the tissue market is growing by 5 to 8%.” Helmut, who has joined the company since January 2011was awarded a global patent for product innovation and is a globally recognized authority in the paper industry. On the show, he thinks that it is a very good platform to network and discuss with other companies and thereby useful to develop a good business outlook. He adds, “ADNPM has been growing very rapidly. In the year 2000, it had one machine and now it uses two machines. The company is spread over an area of 60,000 sq.m. and uses stateof-the art Crescent Former tissue machines to produce world-class paper from the highest grade virgin pulp. The mill houses a pulp store, machine house,

stock preparation facilities, tissue machines, de-inking plant, warehouse and offices.” Berger added: “Total capacity of the de-inking plant is 30,000 tons. Recycled paper usage within the Paper Mill production process helps save the environment by reducing pure pulp usage. ADNPM has also installed a water treatment plant whereby 40%-60% of the waste water is treated and re-used, rather than being dumped into sewerage. This helps the Paper Mill in not only reducing energy consumption but also in being environmentally friendly.” The new products introduced by ADNPM include the Facial, 2 ply velvet, which comes in a minimum gsm of 13.5 and a maximum of 14.5 gsm. They have also introduced a new textured tissue (NTT), which is very soft and comes with fine embossing in the paper. The advantage of the paper is that the converters need not emboss it separately. Their new Kitchen rolls come with high absorbency rate. These new products are intended to be manufactured using a new machine that is to be bought from a Swedish supplier named METSO. ADNPM is look-

ing for investors to bring these products to the market and they are receiving a lot of positive feedbacks for the proposed product. With a target market in UAE, GCC countries, Africa and Europe , ADNPM is looking to source waste paper locally as importing is very costly. Discussing the possibilities of producing paper locally, Berger

and Middle East to sell their papers. On the other hand, using state-of-the-art technology, China can now produce paper much cheaper than before.” Taking over from Kilam, Helmut Berger, General Manager, Abu Dhabi National Paper Mill (ADNPM) addressed the gathering. Talking about the company he said, “Abu Dhabi National Paper Mills is a major producer of tissue in the region. Unlike writing paper, tissue has a very solid growth all over the world. In this region, the tissue market is growing at a rate of 5 to 8 %. Tissue industry in Abu Dhabi has been growing very rapidly. In the year 2000, there was only one tissue production in Abu Dhabi, now there are four and the fifth one is about to be installed.” Explaining the prospects of APP in the region, Suneet Sood, General Manager, APP Dubai said, “APP had established its regional office in Dubai 20 years ago. The Dubai sales office now offers all range of papers, except for newsprint, to all GCC countries as well as to Iran. APP’s total sales volume in the region is to the tune of 350 million USD and we are looking for further growth. APP will be launching two new products including SAVVI PACK, which is designed for cigarette packaging and CUPSTOCK, a specially engineered food grade paper for food and beverages. The last speaker to address the assembly was Lin Ru, General Manager, China National Household Paper Industry Association (CNHPIA). Detailing about CNHPIA, she said that its members include manufacturers of tissue, paper and disposable hygiene products, suppliers of related equipment and raw material. She added that there are more than 520 domestic members in the association and over 24 overseas members. “With the positive efforts of all the members, the association has achieved remarkable success during the years. Paper Arabia provides a good platform for Chinese paper manufacturers to showcase their products.

Exhibition Beirut Sign

BEIRUT SIGN ME Printer November 2011

BREATHES NEW AIR INTO THE LEBANESE

PRINT INDUSTRY The event attracted new business opportunities and introduced new innovations

Beirut Sign, a new venture in the Lebanese print industry attracted new technologies and innovations from signage, digital print, imaging, graphic, media and advertising sectors. The exhibition, which was held from 22nd to 25th September at Beirut International Exhibition and Convention Center (BIEL) in Beirut, Lebanon, was inaugurated by Walid Daouk, Minister of Information, Lebanon and in the presence of Colonal Ghabi Khouri, representing Marwan Charbel, The Lebanese Minister of Interior. Talking on the event Walid Daouk said, “The Ministry of Information highly encourages this cutting-edge event, the first of its kind in Lebanon. Lebanon is also proud to be a major geographical market to host such an event. In the show, leading companies from around the world will be presenting their latest products, activities and services.” Organised by Trans Continental Fairs Management (TCFM), the show was sponsored by the Ministry of Tourism, Advertising Agencies Association etc. Walid M. Al Saleh, Managing Director, TCFM was quite upbeat on the show; “The idea to hold such a show had arisen about 6 to 7 years from now. Currently Beirut Sign is the only such exhibition dedicated to the signage and printing industry. We expect around 3000 visitors and this time we had about 1000 visitors through online registration.” Making a difference, Beirut Sign also organised a photo competition as a sideline to attract more people from the advertising and media sector. Reviewing the show, Walid said that next year they are planning to hold seminars and discussion forums in cooperation with the Ministry of Interior, with an aim to enliven the show experience. “In Lebanon, the Ministry of Interior deals with the signage business and if you want to put a signage or a billboard, you need the

The digital printing technology used by Honaz has a high speed 6 colour inkjet printer with photographic quality and has refillable ink tanks for cost effective disc printing.

The show was jointly supported by the Ministry of Information and also the Ministry of Tourism along with the Advertising Agency Association and the International Chapter of Lebanon. Explaining the role of advertising agencies in the region, Walid said, “They have a very important role in this country. Here you cannot do business if you are not a member of the association. Next year, both the Advertising Agency Association and the International Advertising Association – Lebanese Chapter are planning to have their pavilion at Beirut Sign 2012.”

STARS INNOVATION

Stars Innovation had one of the biggest stands in the show, where the company showcased its digital printing solutions like Gammajet, Starflex etc. Established in 1999, the company first started operation by selling flex and now they are the agents for about 75 factories all over the world. Ghassan Madhoun, Chairman and CEO of the Company said, “Today we are equipped with full range of printing machines including digital. We are now in a position to offer almost every digital printing solution along with our own solutions like Gammajet and Starflex.

We distribute these in all Arab countries including Qatar, Dubai, Egypt, Syria, Jordan etc.” Analysing the possibilities of digital printing solutions, he said that the digital market will grow double fold by the next 5 to 10 years in the Middle East. “The first ever digital printing machine in the Middle East was installed in Lebanon in 1996. New ventures like LED and LCD screens are more expensive options and though the income generated is more, in order to start a business with an LED you need at least 200,000 dollars to have at least two or three screens. I don’t completely rule out the possibility of LED’s, maybe in the future LED screens will gain in the market,” he added. Talking about the exhibition, he said that Beirut Sign will be a perfect launch pad for the industry, though it has yet to prove its mettle. He thinks that the Lebanese printing market is fuelled by the support from the private sector. “Private sector provides 100 per cent support to the printing industry and the sector itself is growing in the country.” Talking about the solvent based market in Lebanon, he said that earlier the market was 100 per cent solvent and then gradually it changed to eco-solvent, while now most prefer UV based solutions. “With everyone changing either into eco-solvent or UV based solutions, we are also following the track. At Stars Innovation, we have a complete solution for outdoor and indoor as well as for stands and displays. You could call us a one stop shop for printing needs,” concluded Ghassan.

permission of the Ministry of Interior. So, we decided to hold seminars by bringing the Ministry and the companies to the same platform, where they could discuss and share the problems,” explained Walid. He said that Beirut Sign has contributed in providing the right platform to exhibitors and as the organiser they are trying to bring the right clients to the event. “We have send invitation to about 35,000 potential people in and around Lebanon, Syria, Jordan etc. and through them we have made the word spread around the world,” he added. Explaining the slow turnout in other countries, he said that favourable conditions cannot be always relied on for the success of a business. “Political situations keep changing all the time and we can’t wait for the situation to change. Business doesn’t happen like that. We had conceptualised Beirut Sign as an international exhibition and we have sent invitations world wide. The exhibition saw companies bringing in their suppliers along with them and some stalls had around 18 companies along with them. This shows the interest of the industry in Beirut Sign.” Unlike exhibitions held in UAE, the show timings in Beirut Sign was between 4 pm till 10 pm as most of the exhibitors and visitors prefer post business hours to conduct an exhibition. Major companies like Stars Innovation, Masterlam Holding Group, Image Systems/Canon were present at the event. Companies like Honaz FZCo presented solutions that included the Copytrax DaVinci Multi, which is used for printing on CD’s, DVD’s and CD Business Cards.

based in Beirut, Lebanon are into Digital printing, Silk Screen printing, packaging, signs and lamination. Participating at Beirut Sign, Fadi El Rahi, CEO of the company observed that the show has shown good prospects so far and maybe in the years to come they will have better response. On his preparations for the show, Fadi said, “I have invited my customers and most of them will be attending the show. The show will give an opportunity to visitors to rate and judge the best solutions offered in the industry. It is a good opportunity to network and also to find new customers.” Briefing more on the company, Fadi said, “We are a holding of a group of companies and have one offset printing press, a digital printing house, signage factory and we are also the distributors and sole agents of some Chinese brands. Our machine range includes the Crystal Jet machine, which is an outdoor printing unit. We are the number one outdoor printing company in Lebanon. During the last 2 years, we sold about 44 printing machines.” Fadi said that the digital printing arena is not new in Lebanon and has been here for about a decade. “The digital machines don’t have a huge market here and it won’t overgrow the offset market.” He added that their range of equipments include offset machines like medium size 4 colour Heidelberg machines along with engraving, laser cutting and plasma cutting machines. Fadi added they also distribute LED screens in the whole Middle East market and also in Iraq and Syria. Explaining the potential of the printing market in Lebanon, he said that Lebanon is still the printing hub of the Middle East and the country is equipped with skilled staff and technicians. “In addition, we also send people abroad to learn new technologies and skills.” Fadi observed that the demand for UV or mild solvents is mainly because of

its quality and not because of the environmental benefits. Rating the popularity of Chinese machines in the market he said that Chinese market has grown and now they offer better products at reasonable prices, which has increased the popularity of the machines. Explaining future plans he said that Master Holdings is considering participating in other major print exhibitions outside Lebanon including in Dubai or in Iraq.

Recently, Image Systems has signed a very competitive deal with Bank Audi – Audi Saradar Group in Lebanon, for two high-end production machines for printing bank statements and this will be the first print solution in Lebanon with a major bank, explained Khoury. On the growth of digital printing in the Middle East region, he said: “The market here is still emerging as far as digital printing is concerned. Most of the customers now want to try digital along with offset machines. However, the situation in the region is not helping companies to release major amounts for investing in digital printing. We are making our deals slowly but surely and Canon is doing very well in production compared to other competitors in the Lebanese market.” Talking about their product

range on display at the Beirut Sign event, he said, “As the exhibition is more focused on signage and production, we decided to exhibit most of Canon’s large format range, along with the imagePress C1 plus, the unique machine in digital proofing with spot UV and clear toner. So far, our stand received good response. The quality of visitors is the attraction of this show. Most of those attending are either professional people or decision makers.” Comparing solvent and water based solutions and their possibilities he said, “We cannot compare the water based product to the solvent products because they have two different markets. Everyone who has a water based product also needs a solvent based product. Actually it would be better if Canon evolves into having a solvent product. I believe this is the main reason why Canon acquired Océ. Image Systems is always ready to supply all Canon products.” Explaining their relationship with Canon Middle East he said, “They are very supportive and are aware of the Lebanese market. Lebanese market is very different from other markets in the region.”

for big international advertising agencies. AJP started 30 years ago as a company producing books and guides; it has evolved over the years to become a leading advertising agency in the country. Today, we are one of the top ten advertising agencies in Lebanon.” Explaining their capabilities he said, “We also have a printing press by which we issue almost 40 per cent of the local magazines. We have a capacity to print about 10,000 magazines per day. Currently, we only use offset printing and evolve our digital work with a sister company of ours.” Talking about the challenges faced by advertising agencies in the region, Bsat said, “Lebanon is a melting pot for different religions and cultures. When a certain brand intends to undergo an ad campaign in Lebanon, they have to plan the advertisement and visual according to the regional preference and taste. For example, visuals of swimming suits, alcohol, tobacco, etc... are restricted in the South.” He added that currently they have about 400 road panels, which includes unipoles, billboards, backlit, and rooftops.

ALJANOUB PRESS HOPES HIGH

Beirut Sign registered quite a number of visitors from neighbouring countries and despite the volatile situation in Syria, an 11 member team lead by Nour Khalaf, PR Manager of Lines PR agency attended the event. Talking about their interest in Beirut Sign, Nour said t the major prospect for them was to see the show and as Beirut is an important region as far as printing is concerned, they were more interested. “We have exhibitions in Syria but the current circumstances are not favourable for holding any exhibitions.” Despite the upheavals in the region, shows such as Beirut Sign are rekindling the growth factor back into the region.

The 4 day event is the leading graphic arts show in South Korea

The 18th Korea International Graphics & Printing Industry Show (KIPES) was held at Kintex, Goyang in Korea from September 28th to October 1st, 2011 under the theme ‘Graphic world in digital’. KIPES that is currently being held together with 5 other industry exhibitions is called the ‘Korea Industry Fair 2011’ and bridges the gap between the Korean and the global printing market. The other shows that are held along with KIPES are the Korea International Plastics & Rubber show, Korea Machinery Fair, Seoul International Electric Fair, Seoul International Tool Exhibition and Korea Metal Week. Held in a show space of about 108,000 sq.m the show offers stage to about 2000 exhibitors and about 150,000 visitors attended the event. Organized by Korea E & Ex. Incorporation, the event was supported by the government of Korea and the Ministry of Knowledge and Economy. During early years, more than 90 % of the Korean printing market was dominated by imported equipments but today technological advancement is clearly visible in shows like KIPES, which exhibits advanced and

the latest equipments in the industry. The exhibition offers a venue for the domestic printing market to compete with international brands. This edition saw the latest printing technology being displayed, while international conferences and seminars were held that discussed the relevance of design and electronics in printing technology. Digital and diversified platforms have shifted printing technology to the next level and KIPES 2011 showcased the development of this digital shift. Conferences and seminars held during the show gave visitors an opportunity to learn emerging trends. The International conference was held at day 1 and saw the participation of exhibitors and visitors alike. The dinner event on 28th September was attended by members from the Korean Printers Association, Korea Printing Technology Association, representatives from HP, Manroland, and Fuji along with 45 delegates from the Mongolian Printing Association and 16 delegates from the Printing Industries Association of the Philippines. Namsoo Kim, Chairman of Korean Printers Association in his

welcome speech at the international conference thanked all the exhibitors, who attended the event and said, “The printing industry in Korea has advanced to meet international standards. The industry in the region has developed by using equipment and materials supplied from advanced countries. Today in Korea, though companies manufacturing printing machines are undergoing many difficulties, the machines that we have developed are exported worldwide and I am confident that we will be able to spread our legs in the near future.” Briefing the printing culture in Korea, he said, “The Republic of Korea first invented metal printing and we take pride in being the descendants of a dominant printing nation and will make more efforts to develop the printing technology and expand the global market to recover our old glory. The Printing Culture Industry Promotion Act that was enacted in year 2007 has helped a lot to support the efforts of the printing industry.” Explaining his hopes for the show, he said, “KIPES is now even more relevant as it is now an annual show rather than a biennial event.

The presentation described the various ISO standards used in data creation, colour management, PDF data, display, proofs, printing plates, printing etc and the basic standards to be followed to obtain UGRA certification. Later Joel Ingulsrud, Woodwing Sales Director led the audience into the possibilities of Smart publishing. He started with a brief introduction about Woodwing and its activities and how the enterprise publishing system could be used for efficient cross media publishing. He explained how the software could be used to manage data and information and how the same could be used to publish in different mediums like tablet, web, print, mobile, social media, email etc. Widely used for tablet publishing, he claimed that the

software is web friendly and supports web apps, while has an efficient workflow and can quickly adapt to the changing market demands. The benefits that were raised by Joel in using WoodWing included design support, lower price, less dependency, open to technology and compatibility with indesign. The final presentation was done by Shigeki Kaneko, Fuji Xerox General Manager who talked on the topic, ‘Insight of new business scheme and environment focusing high speed colour inkjet CF’. Explaining the reasons for the increasing demand of continuous-feed colour printers, he pointed out that the worldwide revenue for the segment will increase 27% by 2014. He discussed the three areas of applications targeted

by the high speed colour inkjet CF products and illustrated the full line up of a Fuji Xerox digital print workflow. The presentation compared the benefits of colour inkjet technology over offset and the various highlights of a Fuji Xerox 2800 Inkjet Colour Continuous Feed Printing System.

A RAFT OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES

The KIPES 2011 premiered some new technologies that could have been interesting for Middle East visitors as well. Canon for the first time introduced its Dreamlabo 5000, a digital inkjet machine for photo printing. Seeing it up close looks much bigger than what you might initially have expected. Canon also displayed a collection of photobooks printed by Dreamlabo 5000. The quality is impressive. The DreamLabo 5000 commercial inkjet printer marks Canon’s entry into production photo printing. The device offers the production photo printing market a viable alternative to silver halide technology and, according to Canon, “will revitalize the photo printing market”. Incorporating Canon’s FINE (Fullphotolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering) technology, the wide print head enables the printing of high-quality photos and detailed text to support a variety of high-value-added output, from premium photo albums, photo books, photo calendars, photo collages and other merchandise. It is also a dangerous competitor for likes of Indigo and similar breeds of machines. However for the final verdict we have to wait and see the machine in action. All technologies look good in exhibitions. HP had a far smaller exhibition comparing to last year. Since the

have worked hard to prepare for this international conference and have helped to gather a wide range of information, so that consultation and the sales of exhibitors would proceed smoothly.” The International Printing Technical Conference that was held on the 30th September in Kintex discussed various topics relating to colour, print and digital publishing. Starting the first session, Yan Wei Phin, Colour Gate Director and a certified PSO consultant introduced the concept of colour management and the different measures to attain colour accuracy. He explained the colour communication pattern, which starts from creation of an idea till execution of the final prints. The presentation gave an overview on how one perceives colour through their eyes and explained basics like primary and secondary colours, colour synthesis, colour blindness etc. He then went on to explain how to measure colour and the formula for calculating colour differences. From colour, he went on to explain how Adobe Creative Suit can help minimize colour management issues. He explained the various advanced settings needed in Photoshop, Illustrator, Bridge, Indesign etc. to optimize colour accuracy. He also explained the various PSO standards (Process Standard Offset) used in print certification tools and the recommended measures of ink density on various presses. The presentation also dealt with issues that came during printing like film mounting, ink transfer, material wear and tear etc. Followed by Yan, Erwin Widmer, CEO of UGRA gave a detailed description of the Ugra PSO Certification process. He stressed the importance of standardized printing and the advantages of it. He explained the auditing process and the various functions that are audited for PSO

exhibition is now annual, companies are not participating with full force and they prefer to have smaller representation. Nevertheless HP showcased its Indigo 7500 digital press. Fuji Xerox also decided to have a more humble presence. The company put on display colour 1000 Press plus

a Docucolour 1450 GA. Kodak showcased its thermal CTP. During press conference two major distributors of Kodak in Korea announced their partnership, which according to them will benefit the whole industry. The interesting point is that apparently Korean printers prefer UV platesetters to image conventional plates. However due to the continuous rise in price of the conventional plates, Korean printers are turning to thermal CTP’s. Kodak is planning on capitalizing on its technology to respond to the new trends. Another interesting fact about Korean CTP market is that Korean CTP manufacturers almost entirely moved to China to manufacture CTP. Now Korean CTP systems are made in China and are promoted as Chinese brands. During the peak of CTP technolo-

gies, Korean manufacturers also embraced the technology and introduced a range of platesetters, however they could not compete with European products in the high end market and also to Chinese platesetters, which were targeting the low end. To break free from the limbo they all decided to move to China for manufacturing platesetters. KIPES was a fertile ground for Chinese companies, which boasted a massive presence launching CTP’s as well as consumables and a host of other graphic art products. From all the Chinese CTP systems presented in KIPES, Cron and TR 800 from HUARIJINGYI had the feel and look of a European and Japanese brands. TR 800 is a B1 thermal platesetter. The system can image 24 plates an hour with the maximum resolution of 2450 dpi. Jinbao, who had a shared stand

FACTORY VISIT: ME PRINTER TOURS DILLI FACILITY IN KOREA

Dilli (Digital Illustrate Inc.), manufacturers of UV inkjet printing machines, headquartered in Korea, showcased their Neo series in the recently held KIPES 2011. Their main attractions were the Neo Titan 1606VS, Neo Jupiter II- 1010 and Neo Mercury- L210. During KIPES, ME Printer visited the facility of Dilli in Korea and met with Keun Soo Choi, President, Dilli and YounGu Lee, Plant Manager and Managing Director. Charting the growth of Dilli, Keun Soo Choi explained, “The Company, which was established in 1965 started off with the production of Abacus. From there we moved on to make measuring devices, electronic typesetters, CAD etc and in 1996 we launched our first UV printers. Since then we had no looking back.” Discussing their production facilities, he said, “Our printers are environment friendly and uses odour free inks, while they are scratch and weather resistant. Our facility includes 4 and 6 colour

printers and is in the process of developing 3.2 and 5 meter printers. We currently manufacture UV Printers like Neo Titan and Annapurna, PCB printers like Neo Jupiter and also label printers. Dilli has an OEM agreement with AGFA and we produce their products in this facility. We have the same production line for Annapurna and Neo Titan. For the print heads we use Konica Minolta as it best suits with our inks and gives us good results.” Explaining the day to day operations of the company, Youn-Gu Lee said, “Some of our customers, who have bought the first model from us are still using the same. We bundle our solutions

and provide inks along with the print head. At Dilli, we provide two kinds of inks, flexible and rigid. As far as future plans are concerned, we are thinking up of a line up of label cutters and coaters together with the printer. We are still doing the market research and will launch the product at the right time.” Youn-Gu Lee added that the company currently produces 2 printers a day and manufacture about 30 to 40 printers a month. “We have about 200 suppliers and about 30 to 40 % of the parts used in the machinery are imported from countries like Europe, US etc. Our products have a good market in Europe, Latin America and

also in China. They are well accepted in the European market, quality and performance wise.” The facility of Dilli in Korea employs about 80 people and has a well developed R& D department. Explaining about their R& D facility, Youn said, “Before we launch a new product, our R& D and sales divisions do a combined research and they collect the information and demands of the market. Then this data is brought in front of the board of directors and together we pick up the best solution to start the project.” Dilli use their own workflow and manufacture machines both on order and stock basis. Rating their presence in the market, Youn said, “I think the strongest competitor for us in the market is HP, while Océ and VUTEk also give a healthy competition.” Not ruling out the possibility of a merger, he opined that though the financial status of Dilli is good, the company is thinking of better options to enhance its growth.

with Zhengrun introduced a full automatic stop cylinder screen press. JB-720/780/1020 full-auto cylinder screen press is an automatic flat screen press. It is suitable for sequence printing in bulk of high precision screen productions. It can process 108~400g/m2 materials, especially for paper productions (such as cigarette boxes. wine case, toiletry case, gift boxes and etc). Zhengrun premiered RB6040 Automatic rigid box for production of boxes. The machine employs PLC, photoelectric tracking system, hydraulic web guiding system, touch screen interface to automatically finish feeding and gluing paper, conveying cardboard, forming and pasting four angles of cardboard, positioning, gluing and forming box in one pass. Many Korean manufacturers opted for smaller stands. However two famous Korean brands namely Dilli (see box) and Kisun had a noticeable presence. Kisun introduced a range of coating equipment for digital printing market. The products include Digimulti Coater, a three-in-one system

for UV, Primer and water-based liquid coatings and the Compact DigiUV coater for small format digital presses.

OUR TAKE AWAY

KIPES 2011 was smaller in scale than the last year’s edition. However since it has become an annual event, companies prefer to have a reduced space. On the other hand the recession had its toll on the Korean printing industry as well, having said that, KIPES is still a very interesting exhibition for companies that are looking for alternative and affordable solutions without

having to compromise on quality. English is still a problem here. The lack of information in English language is an impediment for the show to become a truly international trade event. However the organizers are trying to solve this problem. I’m confident that in near future KIPES will become an important trade event at the global level. There are many reasons for such an assumption. Asian markets are growing fast and whatever shortfall comes in their art of communicating in English, the Korean people make it up with their smile and hospitality.

The technology to print has evolved over the centuries. From woodblocks the technology has developed to the introduction of 3D printers that can print on any substrate including food. Though today we have many methods of printing, offset technology is still considered the cheapest method to print high quality prints. With the introduction of Computer to Plate system, printing has become even simpler. CtP has eliminated the time consuming process of developing films and later imaging them on plates, now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

just plug in and print, wherein some inkjet CtP machines can even directly print on plates that can be directly loaded onto the printing press. The plates used on a CtP machine can be paper, polyester, plastic or even metal and usually thermal, light or inkjet mediums transfer the image or text to the plates. Cost effective and reliable, CtP machines are now widely used by printers worldwide. With more companies coming into this foray, the demand for cost effective CtP machines are on the rise. CtP solutions from Ep-

son, Presstek, Glunz and Jensen, Mitsubishi, Kimoto XantĂŠ, etc provides small scale printers a cost effective platform to print. Though there are more CtP machines coming into the market, the change over from films to CtP is not an easy one for small scale printers. Loosing the conventional way to a desktop enabled device might infuse many initial fears in printers. The Computer to Plate System also was not an instant hit when it first hit the market. Following the initial hiccups and coughs, the system has evolved today in providing a cost

Earlier, the need for a skilled technician was needed to operate a CtP machine but now with digitalised operations and workflow; plate making is a click of a job. Termed the poor man’s CtP, the 2 up CtP systems need no special arrangements like dark rooms or yellow light arrangements etc. Major advantages of using a CtP system are that it reduces labour costs, increases production capacity and improves quality. These days’ smaller CtP machines come with a price tag of around $10,000 to $50,000 and have run lengths from 2000 to 50,000 plus impressions. These low cost CtP machines come in full colour and can be used for all commercial purposes like printing magazines, flyers, brochures and other communication materials. CtP machines considerably reduce environmental hazards through eliminating harmful chemicals and wastes. They also help to speed up the prepress operations. ®

CTP TECHNOLOGIES

The major CtP technologies used in the market include digital UV, thermal, visible light and inkjet. In digital UV technology, the plates are exposed to UV light and later processed on a press, where the dampening unit removes the non image area or the wet area to develop the plate. Talking about visible light CtP systems, these machines can be operated only under a controlled light source as over exposure of light may destroy the plates. The laser technology

used in the visible or violet laser diodes is cheaper than the thermal CtP system and is therefore ideal for printers in the 2up and 4 up market. Visible light is also known as violet diode as most of them operate with a violet diode laser. The violet laser diodes can produce up to 200 lines per screen. The major disadvantage of violet diodes are that as they can be operated only in a controlled light environment and difficulties may arise in producing the same plate quality every time. Thermal CtP systems use heat to transfer the image or text to a plate. They can be operated in natural room light or day light conditions and are able to produce high quality prints with finer details. Though thermal laser systems are easier to operate their cost of production and power consumption are much higher than violet CtP systems. The different type of plate used in thermal CtP systems include:1. Chemistry free systems, which can be directly used in the CtP machine without any further developing process. These plates do not require finishing process and usually undergo the gumming process to harden or protect the image developed on the plate. This reduces the pre press operations and fastens production speed and also reduces the errors in plate making. Moreover they are environment friendly and reduce waste generation and chemical usages. Presstek is a major vendor who offers chemistry free plates, which are process free and the plates need only be washed under tap water after the imaging process. Their range of chemistry free plates include Freedom Pro, Anthom Pro, Aurora EXP, Pearl Dry etc and are available for the 2, 4 and 8 up page format. 2. Process free systems are a developed version of the chemistry free process. The image plate developed in a process free system can be directly fed onto the press without rinsing or other gumming process. This further fastens the production and increases the productivity though the system comes at a

Introduced in 1990, CtP machines were initially used for one colour printing jobs like books, directories etc. However their popularity among printers has helped to develop the system over the decade. A CtP system usually includes two major components, the plate and the platesetter along with the workflow needed to run the system. The platesetter in the device copies the image or text from the computer and places it on to the plate. The most common types of platesetters include thermal, visible light, inkjet etc. The thermal CtP technology converts the image or text physically by either hardening the image area or the dry area (which receives the ink) or by removing the non-image areas (that includes the wet area). Plates are usually made from

aluminium, while it also includes materials like paper, polyester or multi-metal. Multi metal plates are either copper plated into stainless steel or aluminium or sometimes chromium plated on copper. These plates are generally used for longer runs, while polyester and paper plates are used for run lengths that come in between 1000 to 10,000 impressions. The paper and polyester plates are relatively cheaper than metal plates. Though in the initial stages polyester plates had stretching and folding problems, advanced technology has helped to overcome that problem. The different types of coating used on plates include Diazo, which is an organic compound used to make plates with a shelf life of up to 1 year. Photopolymer coating is the most widely used form of coating, which uses an organic coating that is very static and scratch resistant. This coating allows longer run lengths and increases the shelf life of the plate. The new generation photopolymer plates are dye sensitized and can be exposed to laser diodes, which can be used in digital imaging systems. The silver halide or silver halogen plates usually have a run length of up to 350,000 impressions. They provide high quality prints similar to thermal plates and suits well with violet and laser technologies. While, thermal Plates enable daylight processing and give high resolution prints. Thermal plates can be baked and can usually give resolution above 200 lpi.

Many medium to large printers have already moved to CtP workflow, however small printers are yet to embrace the technology

higher price tag and is much complex to maintain. 3. Direct Imaging System (DI) combines process free CtP and the offset printing process in one single unit. Fully automated, this system requires no human intervention between imaging and printing. The DI system is ideal for print houses that need to print full colour jobs in small sizes and in quantities less than 20,000. The latest intrusion to the CtP market is the inkjet CtP systems where the image is printed directly on the plate or on a carrier layer that is later washed off. Relatively inexpensive, inkjet Printers are sought after by many print shops today. Though they can produce plates in different formats and speeds the image quality and resolution of images on an inkjet CtP is lower than that produced on laser equipment. The waste generated by CtP systems are also a thing of concern to printers as sufficient recycling and waste disposal systems must be administered to eliminate mounting up of hazardous chemical waste. Moreover government regulations and environment compliance authorities insist for proper waste management before installation of a CtP device. Usually thermal CtP systems produce lesser waste compared to violet CtP systems. The processing involved in the latter emits some chemical wastage that needs to be either recycled or eliminated.

HANDY SOLUTIONS

With the advancement of CtP systems, the printing market today offers a variety of products for the 2 up, market. Coming in affordable prices they offer cost effective and productive results to printers. The 4 up and 8 up CtP markets are already at the point of saturation. Many medium to large printers have already moved to CtP workflow, however small printers are yet to embrace the technology. A small format CtP system could be a good start for them. Because from one hand the price of film is increasing and from the other hand the small 2 up CtP systems are pretty much

affordable for small printers with tight budget. Here we are giving you a round up on of some of the manufactures in 2 up CtP market and the products they offer.

THE PLAYERS

The company also has other CtP systems like the NewsPro systems, PDP DigiPlate Systems, SDP-Eco 1630111R, Thermal DigiPlate System etc.

AND THE DRAWBACKS

Jack Dean, Presstek’s area sales manager, who has extensive experience in selling small format CtP, believes that although small format, entry level CtP machines can be an ideal starting point for small printers, when it comes to investing in CtP they prefer to jump to 4 up format. “2 up CtP’s are normally used by in plant printing operation where com-

panies are not focusing on making profit rather than catering to their own printing needs. These CtP’s are ideal for b/w jobs such as statements, reports, etc. On the other hand entry level CtP’s can also be expensive. Based on my experience printers prefer to go straight to 4 up so they can handle jobs in different formats and sizes,” explains Dean.

OUR TAKEAWAY

With the advancement of inkjet technologies it seems that small format CtP’s have a genuine chance to find their very own niche market as an affordable and environmentally friendly product. However the limitation in productivity and speed is a serious impediment for these machines to go mainstream. Nevertheless our verdict is that for those who want to venture into the world of CtP and digital print production workflow these devices are a perfect trial and error tool that printers can use to educate themselves before moving to a costlier bigger format CtP system.
