Editor’s Note Last month was quite a busy time for the graphic arts community in the region. Sign and Graphic Imaging exhibition held between 20 and 22nd January proved to be a resounding success.

A number of deals for wide format printers were sealed during the exhibition. The healthy turnout by people involved in the signage industry once again proved that there are still lot of untapped opportunities within sign and graphic imaging industry in the region. Manufacturers and printers are also becoming more and more environmentally conscious. Almost all the wide format printer manufacturers offered eco friendly products. You can read all about it in this issue of ME Printer.

Eskandar Jahanbani Editor in Chief

A rather surprising announcement caught us by surprise. The new partnership between Heidelberg and Fujifilm could be a game changer in the regional printing industry. However in order to be able to assess the impact and scope of this partnership we still have to wait.

SGI exhibition proved once again that manufacturers and printers are becoming more environmentally conscious

In this issue our readers can also read a full report on China Print Media week, which took place between 8 and 10 January 2013. ME Printer was also invited as the media representative from the Middle East region. The staggering growth and sheer size of China Print is mind blowing. With 60% growth since 2009, China Print is set to become the number one print show in Asia and the second biggest graphic arts exhibition in the world. In order to accommodate all the companies that could not find space inside the halls, the organizer of China Print had to set up temporary tents outside the halls.

The developing markets are creating favourable conditions for the growth of printing industry. Our region is also a fertile ground for the growth of ink and paper industry. Exciting times are ahead of us and we will keep you posted. So stay tuned.

UAE: Packaging Industry Outlook Predicts 4.27% Growth By 2016 A huge increase in domestic consumption and export activities predicted

ME Printer February 2013

The country’s GDP per capita exceeded US$50,000 in 2009, and is projected to reach US$80,084 in 2016

A recently published report on the packaging industry in the UAE compiled and published by BRICK DATA indicates that the industry will see commendable growth in the coming years. According to the report, the country’s GDP will rise to US$ 80,084 in 2016, which indicates that there will be a huge increase in domestic consumption and activities in export market.

The report titled, ‘Packaging Industry Outlook in the UAE: Market Size, Key Trends, Drivers and Challenges to 2016’ states, “The country’s GDP per capita exceeded US$50,000 in 2009, and is projected to reach US$80,084 in 2016. This implies there will be more spending on processed food and consumer durable goods during the fore-

cast period, which will propel the growth of the packaging industry. Abu Dhabi, which registered one of the highest GDP per capita in the world, contributes substantially to the country’s spending power, which is also being supported by the country’s improved consumer confidence and favourable economic environment.”

It further states that the packaging industry will have a compounded annual growth rate of 4.27% by 2016. The annual consumer expenditure on food in the UAE was US$23.3 billion in 2011 and grew at a CAGR of 14.52% during the review period. The annual consumer expenditure on food is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.12% dur-

ing the forecast period, to reach a value of US$33.7 billion in 2016. The report states that UAE is a large consumer of readymade foods, which are supplied to consumers in packaging. This is expected to stimulate the demand for packaging products in the country.

According to the report the plastic packaging business will decline in the country due to the government’s tough environmental regulations. It states, “The government has already banned the use of plastic bags in some areas of the country and a more complete and comprehensive ban will be enforced by the end of 2013. The ban is expected to cause a decline in the consumption of flexible plastics.”

Iraq: Al-Sabah Newspaper to Install KBA Comet

by End of This Year Mohammed Eidan, MD of the newspaper says that the investment will enable them to diversify print production

ME Printer February 2013

Mohammed Eidan holds a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Barsa. He has experience working in the engineering, textile and furniture industry and has been working as Managing Director of the newspaper since 2005

From Left to Right KBA sales manager Klaus Weber, executive vice-president for web press sales Christoph Müller, Minister Mohammad Abdul Jabbar Al Shaboot, head and director of Iraqi Media Network, sales director Jochen Schwab and local KBA agency Alpha Print Graphics representative Ibrahim Raphael

The Baghdad based Iraqi Media Network (IMN) has recently signed the deal for a KBA Comet press.

Talking to ME Printer, Mohammed Eidan, Managing Director of Al Sabah newspaper, for which the deal was made, explained the details of the investment. “The need to develop the printing division of Sabah newspaper and to maintain its quality standards made us go for the KBA Comet. As part of that, we extended invitations to major printer manufacturers. After studying the offers made by them, we decided to select the KBA press, as it was appropriate in terms of price and technical specifications. With the new press, we can now print forty eight full colour pages and also aim to publish Al Shabaka Al Iraqiya Magazine. The KBA Comet will be installed by the end of this year.”

IMN had acquired the single-width, double circumference press for the production of the national daily, AlSabah. The coldset/heatset press was contracted by IMN for its high printing quality, reliability and productivity.

Mohammed added that they have built a new facility to equip the KBA press. Detailing about the printing situation in Iraq, he said, “The printing industry in Iraq has suffered a lot due to the economic blockade in the country. The improved security conditions and recovered

stability have now helped to recover this sector. We are one of the institutions that has the potential to stir in activity in this sector.”

The Comet press comes with a thermal dryer that allows the newspaper to print 48 full colour pages in heatset or coated stock.

The press has a configuration that supports the blend of full colour heatset and coldset pages, which is usually used by Middle East print titles. The full colour heatset web will also be used for printing magazines on coated and improved paper, flyers, inserts, books etc.

The 75,000iph KBA Comet will have a 578mm (22.75in) cut-off and a web width variable from 630 to 870mm (24.8 - 34.25in), with 760mm (29.92in) specified for newspapers.

The six reel stands will be connected to a KBA Patras M reel-handling system. The six towers will feature automatic ink pumping and automatic colour-register control. The superstructure above the KF 3 jaw folder will have one former. Automatic cut-off register controls, length and cross perforators and a quarter fold will ensure high-quality folding and enhance production flexibility. The addition of a second KF 3 folder is scheduled at a later date. Alongside cutting-edge console technology the press will also have the option of remote maintenance. The investment package includes a Gämmerler stacking system.

The Al Sabah newspaper Press has the following division in their press: Roll printing division that contains printing machine from manroland cromoman and KBA printing machine for printing newspapers.

The offset division includes a four colour Roland offset machine and a 2 colour and one colour Roland offset press. The binding division has two production lines for binding books, while the prepress division contains a plate setter machine.

Mohammed explained, “The press prints daily newspapers and six specialized weekly supplements.

There is also a section for commercial printing that prints newspapers and publications for government institutions and civil society organisations.”

Salam Fayyad, Prime Minister of Palestinian National Authority and Safa Nasser Eldin, Palestinian Authority’s Minister of Communication unveiling the new stamp of the ‘State of Palestine’

The Palestinian Authority will be printing its first stamp that will have ‘State of Palestine’ printed on it, said Safa Nassereddin, Palestinian Authority’s Minister of Communication. The stamps will be issued for the benefit of PA diplomatic offices abroad.

According to a report in the PA-based Wafa news agency, Nassereddin said that as issuing new stamps requires Israeli approval, it was decided that the new stamps will be printed in Oriental Press, Bahrain, which has contributed to the cost of printing them, and will be used abroad. Recently, the stamp was officially unveiled at a ceremony held in Palestine.

The PA Communications Ministry said that the cost of printing new stamps is relatively high

and because there are no special stamp printing machines within the PA, the stamps have to be printed abroad. The stamps will be used on certain forms at diplomatic offices around the world, according to Wafa.

“The stamp around the world symbolizes the sovereignty of a state, and the stamp simply states that our address is the State of Palestine and that its capital is Jerusalem,” said Nasseredin. She also announced a competition to design a stamp that will perpetuate “the UN’s recognition of the State of Palestine.” The announcement on the stamp follows a series of steps taken by PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas to officially name the areas he controls “the State of Palestine”.

Bahrain: HP Joins eGovernment Authority to Improve Service Efficiency The partnership will help eGA in delivering projects on time through HP project portfolio management software

Tayfun Topkoc Software Director HP Middle East

An agreement between Zayani Infosystems Middle East and Bahrain’s eGovernment authority (eGA) has decided to implement an electronic system to improve the management of eGovernment projects.

HP has decided to partner with the eGovernment authority to implement this project. The HP Project Portfolio Management (PPM) software will facilitate eGA’s programs as well as those carried out in collaboration with other public and private sector entities.

The Authority coordinates and executes eGovernment initiatives in line with programs set by the Supreme Committee for Information and Communication Technology (SCICT), headed by H.H. Shaikh Mohammed bin Mubarak Al Khalifa, Deputy Prime Minister of Bahrain.

This includes proposing IT programs, facilitating communications and services between all government entities, and opening new channels for eGovernment

services. As well as offering more than 240 basic governmental services electronically to all citizens, residents and businesses of Bahrain, it also provides technical and knowledge-based support to other government departments.

“The eGovernment Authority needs to ensure that our project management meets the highest standards of competence,” said eGovernment Authority CEO Mohammed Ali Al Qaed.

“To improve the quality of services provided by the public sector, we decided to take advantage of private sector expertise. HP and Zayani Infosystems Middle East will help us deliver results within the time specified and without exceeding the allocated budget,” he added.

HP PPM software will be an integral part of the eGovernment Authority’s initiative to automate project management processes, models and procedures. By providing realtime visibility into all the eGA’s IT investments at all times, and from

multiple perspectives, it will accelerate project implementation.

HP PPM will significantly reduce repetitive manual processes and produce regular, accurate reports to facilitate efficient handover. As well as real-time enterprise reporting and support for ad-hoc queries, it includes controls to enhance visibility, maintain compliance and reduce costs. HP IT Financial Management will help the eGovernment Authority adapt IT budgets and resources to business change, while HP Application Portfolio Management will improve governance of the organization’s business application portfolio.

“In addition to providing quality services to citizens, government entities need to ensure that complex projects run to time and budget,” said Tayfun Topkoc, Software Director, HP Middle East.

Kodak Drops Out of IPEX 2014 Exhibitor List Kodak will not be participating in IPEX 2014, and in turn has instead decided to channel its investment in tradeshows into customer engagement activities. With the recent announcement, the company has followed tune with other companies such as HP, Heidelberg, Landa, Agfa, Xerox and Komori.

Recently, Kodak was seen adopting measure like selling its patents and concentrating on growth areas in an effort to emerge from bankruptcy. In a statement released by the company, it said that the decision was made to reallocate its marketing investment and not as a mean to save money.

The statement by Chris Payne, Kodak director and vice president of commercial marketing, said, “As the marketing landscape shifts, Kodak and other major suppliers

are taking a different approach to connect with customers more often and more effectively. After much discussion with our customers and Kodak teams around the world, we have altered the marketing mix to include a higher number of customer engagement activities to help them make decisions. To that end, Kodak will not exhibit at IPEX 2014 in London and will significantly reduce its participation in conventional trade shows.”

The customer engagement activities Kodak will focus on instead include the Graphic Users Association (GUA) in North America, China, Japan and Europe, the Kodak Technology Demo Centres, located in markets around the world, industry thought leadership forums and Kodak-hosted events, and the company’s recently launched ONE,

a segment-based, personalised online newsletter program.

Kodak also says it will maintain a print-based marketing campaign mix, with the company set to use its own print resources to send personalised direct mail to its customers.

In a release published in early January, IPEX said, “The findings of our own research, which is to be published in the form of a white paper this month – indicate that there is still a real appetite from European PSPs to engage with multiple digital suppliers in the exhibition environment. We believe that an event such as IPEX has a significant role to play in the research, information gathering and buying process for printers, making it a vital sales, promotion and customer engagement platform for suppliers targeting these buyers.”

ing footprint, Paperworld Middle East can be termed as a successful trade fair.“ Michael said that the show will be larger and will be attended by more exhibitors compared to its previous editions. “The brand’s success in establishing itself as a truly effective trade platform has been underlined by the fact that 45% of this year’s exhibitors have not previously participated and so will be making their regional debut in March. ” Talking about the special events that will be staged this year, Michael said, “This year we will feature the Green Office Area, a dedicated section which will present everything from writing instruments to office machinery that are produced according to green standards.

Canon Middle East team with Resellers at the LFP event

Canon Middle East provided over 100 regional channel partners and resellers the unique opportunity to gain insight into market trends and new channel strategies for the company’s large format printer (LFP) segment. In addition to understanding how Canon responded to market changes, the reseller community also experienced first-hand the innovative print technology of over seven new LFP models at the annual regional reseller seminar held recently in Dubai.

“Over the years, we have built a solid foundation with our partners. We wanted to further engage with the robust reseller community in the region in a way that existing and potential channel partners will experience and understand the immense profitable business opportunities that lies ahead with Canon. By joining forces with the reseller community, we can further leverage our combined expertise and acknowledged leadership in imaging and business solutions to take advantage of this growth opportunity and create a viable business proposition,” said Hendrik Verbrugghe, Marketing Director, Canon Middle East.

During the reseller event, Canon announced its upcoming Canon Partner Programme it intends to launch in the region later this year. “Canon’s partners are an extension of the company and as such are provided with an equal level of support. Canon Middle East understands what its partners want to achieve for their business: namely profitability and

supplier support through training. The upcoming Canon Partner Programme demonstrates the heavy investment we are putting into channel development,” added Verbrugghe.

Canon aims to strengthen its existing presence in the large format printing industry through the introduction of new technologies targeting a variety of markets and verticals. According to Canon, over seven new products within the imagePROGRAF range introduced to the reseller community can assist the region’s printers in leveraging the untapped potential of the Graphics and Computer Aided Design (CAD) industry.

“Canon’s environment friendly LFP range can save businesses money, produce high quality outputs at very high speeds and provide the best total cost of ownership for customers. Building on our strong heritage and expertise in the sector, Canon has, and will continue to be committed to the large-format printing market in the Middle East,” concluded Verbrugghe.

TARGETS HIGH MARKET IN THE MIDDLE EAST Enis Kraiem of Fujifilm talks about how the company made a good presence at the recently concluded SGI 2013 and the deals it secured at the show

ME Printer February 2013

Changes are inevitable and it brings with it new beginnings and hope. With the printing business climbing the upward curve in the Middle East region, companies are putting their best foot forward to catch the action.

ME Printer talks with Enis Kraiem, Regional Sales Manager, Graphic System Division of Fujifilm Middle East to know the latest developments in the company and their forecasts for the year ahead.

There has been some restructuring recently in Fujifilm Dubai.

Could you explain the nature of restructuring and the changes that have been made?

There were no restructuring but new investments were made within Fujifilm Middle East FZE. Wide Format Inkjet is one of the

company’s priority business and expanding it to the Middle East is in line with the Fujifilm policy.

The regional business will be managed by the Dubai based office through the appointment of a new sales manager and a new team to promote and develop the sales of Fujifilm digital portfolio in the region.

Canon and Heliozid Ocè are offering similar flatbed printing technology as Fujifilm, don’t you think this makes confusion in the market?

It is true that we are talking about the same product. What makes the difference is the added value that Fujifilm can bring to its customers. We stand for ‘A global

presence with a local service’.

Fujifilm’s duty is not only to sell machines and consumables but also to provide its customers with solutions that help them in bringing new print revenues, controlling printing cost and delivering new applications.

Offset printing is in decline and many commercial printers in our region are thinking to enter digital printing as well as wide format printing market to create new revenue stream, what is your suggestion to them?

Offset printing is in a slow decline and the print runs are reducing, which makes offset printing expensive. Entering the digital wide format inkjet technology will help offset printers to reduce their cost and fulfil their customers’ requirements in terms of price and delivery.

Do you think a printer who is entering the wide format printing should specialize in certain applications or accept all the orders as diverse as possible and how can he choose the right equipment, or substrate?

Does it all come down to experience or there are clear guidelines?

Each customer is unique in his approach to the sign and graphic market. We study every printer case by case and we give the relevant advice on the type of printer to choose (roll to roll UV LED1600 or the Acuity Advance flatbed printer, etc) depending on the type of required applications and the volume. Some of the customers invest in digital to be different, unique, and inventive. Some of them shift to the flatbed technology to save time and money. At the end of the day, it is all about the return on investment.

What are the new trends in wide format printing and what are the new developments in Fujifilm as far as the wide format printing technology is concerned?

As regards to the high end digital equipments, the trend is towards the development of higher speed higher quality machines. The market demand of this range of printers is limited especially in the Middle East. The focus will be in the mid-range and the entry level printers, which perfectly fit with the customers’ needs. At Drupa 2012, Fujifilm officially launched the Acuity LED 1600 UV hybrid printer, a new standard in creative print, fully designed and powered

by Fujifilm in Japan. The SGIA 2012 was also marked by the launch of the Acuity Advance Select inkjet flatbed printer which, on the top of the high image quality, the performance and the reliability brought by the Acuity Advance range, offers increased flexibility with a wider selection of colour options (white and clear ink). It exists in 8, 6 and 4 channels.

When it comes to wide format printing there has always been a trade-off between speed and quality, do you think Fujifilm has been able to solve this problem?

Have a look at the Acuity Advance Series, a mid range inkjet printer with high speed (up to 60 m²/ hour on express mode) providing the highest quality in the market for its category with a variable droplet sizes from 6 to 42 picolitres. I am sure there will be major changes in the high end equipments (high value, high speed printers) towards increasing the printing speed and delivering high quality prints.

How many installations you

have so far in the Middle East?

What about the after sale service?

We have 11 flatbed machines (Acuity Advance and Inca Spyder) and 1 Inca Onset S20. The installations are mainly in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Kuwait.

Fujifilm Middle East FZE operates in the region through local business partners covering major territories. The new distribution channel was announced during the SGI show in January, and each of our partners will deliver high quality local service and consumables. Although Euromedia products from Fujifilm Germany are popular in Europe, they will not be our priority focus in the short term for the Middle East.

How did the company perform at the recently concluded SGI? The SGI show was really good for us. We were able to seal many deals during the show and sold the machines that were on the stand. Our major deals done at the show include: The Acuity Advance 3545 W HS was sold to X Plus in Dubai. X Plus is one of our valuable offset customers who wanted to convert some of their business into digital. The deal was signed by our new UAE distributor System Middle East on the second day of the show. Then the Acuity LED1600 was sold to Newtech, a company based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Three more hot deals from Qatar, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia are to come and we will follow up closely on the leads collected.

Do you think printers in our region are becoming more environmentally conscience to prefer UV technology or they still prefer solvent printers and how can this mindset be changed?

The environmentally friendly attitude depends on self consciousness. I do think that the shift to UV will be driven by the market trend rather than the environmental issues unless the government policies in the region changes towards ecological products. The UAE is a perfect example of this change.

I do think that the shift to UV will be driven by the market trend rather than the environmental issues

For commercial-printing companies accustomed to presses running full bore, inkjet technology may seem slow. In fact, among some commercial printers, there is a perception that wide-format inkjet technology is too slow to be profitable.

What is your answer to them?

I fully agree that for commercial

printing companies, the inkjet technology remains slow for long runs. As for short runs, I invite the printers to evaluate the printing cost and I am sure that their perception of digital will immediately change. Of course, offset quality is still higher but digital is improving and can deliver the required quality.

Up and Close Gallus Take on Package Printing

As conventional printers are thinking of raiding newer grounds to develop their business, ME Printer had a chat with the owner of Gallus to discuss about the possibilities that label printing had in offer

GALLUS

SEES GREAT OPPORTUNITIES AHEAD

ME Printer February 2013

FOR LABEL PRINTERS

30

Ferdinand Rüesch, Owner and Vice-Chairman of Gallus and his wife came visiting Dubai recently, where they spent time to meet their customers, partners and distributors in the region. ME Printer Magazine met Ferdinand and had a tête-á-tête with him on the history of Gallus, about label printing, their relationship with Heidelberg and more.

Gallus, which manufactures label, folding carton and screen printing machines, was founded by the late grandfather of Ferdinand Rüesch in 1923. Initially, the company started manufacturing weights and balances and later, in what Ferdinand explains as a turning point in the journey of Gallus, they started manufacturing printers.

He explains, “It was during a train

journey, that my grandfather stumbled upon the possibility of making printers. Initially we made machines that printed tags and tickets and also offered repairing services for printing machines.”

“We progressed to make machines that printed all kinds of tags and then during the World War moved into making labels for food stuffs.

We were also involved in doing punch cards for IBM. We have been a step ahead at each development.

When pressure sensitive material was developed, Gallus improvised by introducing self adhesive material on label presses.”

He continued, “In 1956, my father took over from my grandfather and later in 1991, the baton was passed to me. It was during 1999 that Heidelberg saw that there is

a market for packaging and labels and realized that it’s important for them to have a foothold in this market. So, they joined Gallus by buying 30% of our shares. The remaining 70% are held entirely

by Gallus.”

Ferdinand observed that Gallus, a family owned business, is very close to its customers. “We have our personal touch in everything that we do. That’s why we visit a lot of customers in order to understand their needs.”

RAPPORT WITH HEIDELBERG

Detailing about their relationship with Heidelberg, he said, “Today we export 89% of our products.

From the beginning, Gallus has had a strong presence in Europe,

Australia and America and our success has been mainly due to Heidelberg. Like Gallus has established itself in the label industry, Heidelberg has also gained its name in the printing industry. They have really helped us to develop this market.”

Heidelberg represents Gallus in the Gulf countries, Iran, Czechoslovakia, Poland and Russia among others. Ferdinand adds in, “Depending upon the market, we effectively channelize our cooperation with Heidelberg to reach out to our customers. Heidelberg has a very professional approach, and it is evident in the Middle East region. We are better off with having to deal with an organization like Heidelberg that has good connections and sought out reputation among printing companies.”

“In developed countries, where they use specialized printers, Gallus has a strong foothold.

While in developing markets, printers are more familiar with Heidelberg and they approach us through them.”

Explaining their relationship as a learning experience, Ferdinand says that though both the companies are on completely different spheres, in terms of the products they make, they complement each other very well.

FORAY INTO LABEL WORLD

make the said quantity and can’t provide options like varnish, cold foiling etc, then you lose the advantage of printing on a digital machine. Nowadays we are seeing that the breakeven is coming down in conventional printing. Printing is a combination of processes and in order to be successful you have to buy the right equipment and follow the right printing process. Label printers have a better chance to be successful, if they understand what they are making.”

BUSINESS INTERESTS

Gallus stepped into folding carton business in 2006 when they acquired folding carton press manufacturing company, BHS. Reasoning the decision, Ferdinand says, “We strongly believe in our core competencies. We have complete understanding of ink line manufacturing and BHS was good with folding carton machines. If we don’t have the knowhow then it will take a long time for developing it in-house. By shaking hands with BHS we have combined our knowledge to enter into a new area with much ease.”

Ferdinand says that their screen printing machines are built on a modular concept. “Our machines are flexible enough to meet the future demands of our customers. We manufacture the machine, the print head and the material. So the customer gets everything from under a roof.”

Heidelberg offers its own line of label printers under Linoprint brand. At first sight there seems to be a conflict of interest between Heidelberg and Gallus when it comes to label market but Ferdinand explains how digital and conventional cater to different worlds. “For runs of less than 2000 meter length, printing digital is economical but if it’s more than that then it’s better to go conventional. Let’s say if a company wants 200 labels and the digital printer can’t

He adds, “Digital is growing and certainly has many advantages if used properly. Today about 5 to 6% of the printed products are done digitally. Compared to offset presses digital machines have significantly lower speed but the investment is still the same.”

FUTURE INTERESTS

Talking about the competition posed by Chinese companies, he says that with modern manufacturing facilities the outcome doesn’t come cheap. “In Switzerland we have a good work force and for us the biggest cost factor is labour. If it’s a company the size of Heidelberg then we can also have a very successful set up in China, as they have a certain momentum and size to operate there. Based on these, we have started our division in India and its going quite successfully. We have also begun operations in Singapore, which serves the market of Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines and Singapore. We have opened an office in China too.”

The key is to make money out of the machine, and if a long time is spend, preparing for the next job then the desired result is not achieved Ferdinand Rüesch, Owner and ViceChairman of Gallus

ME Printer February 2013

Ferdinand opines that though there are a lot of printers available in the market, fine quality printing is provided by only a few. “For a perfect printing quality, a printer should have precise control of the machine and the assembly should be in order.”

Regarding their appetite for innovation, Ferdinand observes that only if there’s balance there is success. “If you don’t push yourself to the next level then you will stand still and if there are no innovations then you won’t make any progress. In 1995, Gallus was the first company to develop servo motors in printing machines. Today we have machines that can read the pressure applied on the plate and the cylinder of the press.”

Commercial printers are now

exploring into new realms, and many have shown their interest towards label printing. Ferdinand says, “I believe that label printing is still a very interesting niche for a commercial printer.

We have the strength and know how to take an offset printer and guide him through the process of label making. Often an offset printer finds it difficult when he initially forays into the label world. A printer needs to have an open mind to understand the different combinations and materials used in making labels.

They have to get acquainted with more than a hundred varieties of label materials, inks, glues and varnishes to get a feel of the market. It’s a tremendous but interesting learning process.”

China Print 2013 Print Matters in East

PRINT GOES EAST

ME Printer February July 20122013

ME PRINTER’S EDITOR, ESKANDAR JAHANBANI ATTENDED THE CHINA PRINT INTERNATIONAL MEIDA WEEK TO FIND OUT WHY THIS EXHIBITION HAS GROWN TO BECOME THE SECOND LARGEST GRAPHIC ARTS SHOW IN THE WORLD

32

Invited by China Print Show Company, (CPSC) ME Printer attended China Print International Media week during January to learn about the latest developments in the run up to China Print 2013 exhibition.

The China Print show will be held from 14 to 18 May 2013 at New China Exhibition Center in Beijing.

Judging by the facts and figures offered during the presentations by the Chinese officials and the organizer of the event, China Print will reflect the staggering growth in China’s printing industry.

More than 20 international trade media from USA, UK, Germany, Italy, Russia, Korea, UAE, India, Myanmar, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan participated at the event. In total 150 attendees participated in China Print Media week. The program also included a visit to the Masterwork factory and Tianchin Beichen Hi-tech industrial park as well as the New China International Exhibition Center, which will host China Print 2013.

While exhibitions in Europe and the US are struggling to attract companies, China Print is set to become the most vibrant and sought after trade event in Asia and beyond. More than 10,000 companies already confirmed their participation. The total floor space booked already is 160,000 sqm; 60% larger than China Print 2009. The estimated visitor turnout is 180,000, which would be a new record. It will be the largest printing show in Asia and the second largest in the world. China print and its twin exhibition Print China in Dongguan have so far proved to be recession proof.

China Print 2013 is organized by the Printing and Printing Equipment Industries Association of China (PEIAC) and the China International Exhibition Center Group Corporation (CIEC Group).

During the press conference in Drupa 2012, the organizer announced that 100,000 square meters of NCIEC’s indoor show space had already been sold out, with over 200 exhibitors still in the waiting list. In August of 2012, the organizer decided to

build temporary halls to satisfy exhibitors’ demand. Since then, the total show area kept increasing.

China’s economic growth has been slightly slowed down due to the influence of global economic downturn. However large domestic market demand and the increased government investment will support the next round of China’s economic development. Yan Xiaohong, Deputy Director of General Administration of Press and Publication, has announced that the annual output value of China’s press and publication industry has exceeded 1.5 trillion RMB (Renminbi) in 2011. The printing industry has contributed over 860 billion RMB, to the whole amount. By 2016, the total output value of China’s press and publication will reach 3 trillion RMB, which indicates that it will be a great potential for China’s printing industry.

By the end of 2011, the number of printers in China had increased to 102,484. About 3.57 million people are working in different sectors of China’s printing industry. Meanwhile total output of printing industry increased to 867.7 billion Yuan and the gross value of assets amounted to 925.7 billion Yuan.

Until the end of 2011 there were 6821 publication printers, 47,377 packaging printers, 44,868 commercial printers,

2676 typesetting, platemaking and binding companies and 799 digital printers active in China.

Based on the total output, Chinese printing industry is now the second biggest printing industry in the world.

In 2011, the Chinese printing equipment market reached 50 billion Yuan (about 8.2 billion US dollars). According to the statistics released by General Administration of Customs, in 2011, China imported printing equipment worth more than 2.54 billion US dollars.

CHINESE PRINTING MARKET PROSPECT From 2005 to 2011, the average annual growth rate of Chinese printing industry was 9.6% higher than the GDP annual growth rate. Chinese macro economic growth now transits from the pursuit of speed to improvement of quality. So, what will be the future trends?

According to the 12th five-year development goals of Chinese

printing industry we can have the following forecast: . With the projected growth rate of 6.5% China’s GDP will reach 2900 billion Yuan by 2030. . Assuming that the Chinese printing industry grows 3% faster than Chinese economy growth rate from 2011 to 2030 (average annual growth rate of 9.5%); in 2030 it will reach 4800 billion Yuan. . In the next 20 years, Chinese printing industry will enjoy a sustained growth with the rate higher than the GDP growth rate.

SIDE EVENTS A series of high-level international seminars will be held during CHINA PRINT 2013. The third FORUM-PI, Asia Print Annual Meeting, Global Print Secretarygeneral Meeting, CHINA PRINT AWARDS and other conventions will be held. At the same time, a series of activities covering

digital printing, green, standard, packaging, label, and inkjet area will also take place.

MAJOR COMPANIES EMBRACING CHINA PRINT

34

While major press manufacturers are pulling out of IPEX, they are participating with full force in China Print. Heidelberg, KBA, Komori and manroland have all taken large stands, while HP has increased its space from 1000 sqm in 2009 to 3600 sqm in

2013. Kodak, Canon, Ricoh, Fuji, Konica Minolta have decided to take large exhibiting area. Major local manufacturers such as Shanghai Electrics, Beiren Group, Hans-Gronhi, Masterwork and Founder will exhibit in a big and eye catching fashion as well.

Following the welcome speeches, high profile international and Chinese companies including Heidelberg, HP, Konica Minolta, Founder Group, Kodak graphic communications, Shanghai Electric, Beiren Printing Machinery, manroland and Hanzghou Cron briefed the journalists and other attendees on their participation in China and technologies that they will bring to the show. Heidelberg has more than 3700 square meters of exhibition space in China Print. The company will focus on commercial and packaging solutions. But as far as I understood there won’t be any new technology on display.

HP will focus on its cloud solution as well as Indigo range of digital printing presses. HP has sold more than 500 Indigo presses in China.

Komori, which has a production facility in China, will highlight its Komori on Demand solution. It is a combination of digital and offset system. Komori has sold more than 1100 printing presses to China. Its production facility in China uses state- of- the- art solar panel technology as a model for environmentally friendly production site.

Konica Minolta will launch a

new digital press branded as Bizhub press 1250 plus web to print solutions. Founder Group, which is one of the biggest software manufacturers in China will show case its platform for printing and publishing on demand. The company also offers solutions to enhance security features of printed products as well as ink management systems. The company is also a major supplier of CTP systems.

Founder’s CTP installed base is more than 1500 in China alone.

Shanghai Electric is a huge industrial group in China. The company now owns Goss as well as a host of other local and international companies.

Shanghai Electric operates in 55 countries and has a network of 16 subsidiaries. Its annual turnover exceeds 5 billion Yuan. The company will showcase its Akiyama range of sheetfed press as well as Goss web machines plus post press and packaging printing equipment.

Beiren, which perhaps is the biggest press manufacturer in China will put on display a wide range of presses including new B1 and B2 sheetfed presses as well as web machines, a new rotogravure press and other new equipment. Beiren has a 70% market share in China, or at least this is what they claim.

Manroland in its presentation concentrated more on the changes in market dynamics in China. According to manroland the number of local printing companies fell by 1.8% during 2011. On the other hand, large printing companies are on the rise. Competition in printing industry has intensified and the price of raw material is on the rise mainly due to increasing price of energy. Labour cost is also going up.

The last company to offer presentation during the first day of the international media week was Hanzghou Cron, a major Chinese CTP manufacturer. The company has offices in Hong Kong, Malaysia and Germany.

Cron has sold more than 1000 CTP machines worldwide and holds a number of patents in colour management systems.

MY TAKE AWAY This is my second China Print media week and I’m impressed yet again by the utter size of the exhibition and its rapid growth.

Along with the exhibition the number of attendees to the Media Week is also increasing.

There are more trade journals eager to participate in China Print

and Print China media week to find out the latest developments of these successful shows.

Still there are challenges left, especially when it comes to information that is available in different languages.

Organizer of the show told me that they will make available content in different languages in their web site, and that they

are trying hard to overcome the language barrier.

But my feeling is that it will take a while. However with the stagnant printing market in the West, the ink on paper industry has to immigrate to a world more welcoming and hospitable.

China seems to be a perfect place and the language is a barrier that printing can easily climb.

A VISIT TO MASTERWORK

as pneumatic side lay.

The company is represented by Mercongraphics in the Middle East. Mercongraphics is affiliated to Manugraph, which distributes Masterwork products in India. The company’s headquarter and plant in China is about one and half hour’s drive from Beijing.

Although the company is young but it seems that it has gone through a rapid development attuned to China’s fast growth. However the rising cost of labour in China is beginning to bite all the manufacturers including Masterwork.

Followed by Masterwork, we found the opportunity to visit Tianjin Beichen Hi tech industrial park. The park is one of the 57 high tech industrial parks approved by the state council with more than 350 enterprises from 24 countries, 18 of which are amongst the world’s top 500 companies. When completed, the park will accommodate industrial manufacturers from different sectors including printing. Our last leg of the trip to China included a guided tour to New China Exhibition Center. To tell you the truth visiting empty halls of a giant exhibition centre is not fun.

But when you think that these halls will be, within a few months time, filled with equipments and people, you will see the brighter side of the picture.

Even the outside area will be covered by temporary tents to accommodate all the companies that did not find (exhibition) space inside the halls. The irony here is that the tents are manufactured and installed by a German company called Losberger.

The charging bull, which is a ‘Wall Street Icon’, kept at Masterwork. In 2011, the company registered itself at Wall Street.

MEME Printer Printer February July 2013 2012

The media week was not all about presentations and meetings. The organizer tried to make our visit as interesting as possible, and that’s why for the second day a trip to the factory of one of the biggest manufacturers of die cutting machines in China was included in the agenda.

The company sells more than 200 die cutting machines per year. Other than automatic platen die cutters the company manufactures automatic platen and cylinder foil stamping press as well as folder gluer and sheet inspection machine in a broad range of sizes and configurations.

The company has 20 offices and more than 1000 partners around the globe. Masterwork was established in 1995. In March 2011, the company was registered in Wall Street and in March 2012 the company was listed on the stock exchange in Shenzhen. In the company’s 57,000 square meter facility there is a museum and a gallery filled with die cutting and printing jobs done by Masterwork’s customers.

The company’s flagship high speed folder gluer is offered in different sizes and configuration.

The machine drive system adopts new synchronization belt and drive of synchronization belt wheel. The machine benefits from an all steel structure and modular design. The company’s 920 SS - foil stamping and die cutting combination machine has been relatively successful around the globe. The machine overcomes the constraint of one main platen press section on normal foil stamping machine. MK 920 SS is equipped with servo motor for pressure adjustment nonstop feed and delivery system as well

The 16th edition of Sign and Graphic Imaging exhibition concluded on January 22, 2013. The show was officially inaugurated by H.E. Muna Almarri, Director General of the Media Office of Dubai Government. Abdul Rahman Falaknaz; Chairman of IEC and Sharif Rahman, CEO, IEC were present among other senior industry officials and delegates during the inauguration of the show. SGI 2013 was an official ‘Dubai Shopping Festival 2013’ event and the organizer IEC is also the Dubai Expo 2020 bid supporter.

During the inauguration ceremony Abdul Rahman Falaknaz, Chairman of IEC said, “We are delighted to inaugurate yet another show, which is larger than the previous year shows. I would like to thank all our exhibitors and partners who have supported and trusted us throughout this journey. We grew organically and today SGI has become one of the largest platforms in the Middle East for sign and graphic industry.”

"The participation that we are seeing from both the exhibitors and trade visitors shows the growth potential of the industry despite challenging market conditions.

We are delighted to see a phenomenal first day at SGI Middle East 2013. The event showcased an impressive array of the latest product innovations from across the globe that is set to hit the market this year and we are confident that the following two days will see plenty of business being done," said Sharif Rahman, CEO, and IEC. The year’s event was bigger and busier than ever. With 20,000 square meters of space SGI is now one of the biggest signage industry events in the world. And this is no small feat. Filling up 4 halls, this

year’s edition hosted top players in large format as well as digital printing industries. Wide range of equipment including latest large format printers from EFI, HP, Mimaki, Canon, Fujifilm, AGFA, Epson and others were on display. Visitors were spoiled for choice from an extensive array of equipment, inks, substrates and accessories.

The presence of a strong Chinese contingency was yet another sign of SGI’s growing clout. Based on figures released by International Expo Consults (IEC), organizer of the event, more than 10,000 visitors including decision makers, printers, top managers from ad agencies, graphic designers as well as print buyers from all over the region and beyond visited the show. Parallel to the show a series of seminars on industry’s most pressing issues such as how to buy the right ink for the right product, social media for sign and graphics as well as workflow was held.

After 3 days of hectic activities, serious negotiations, some bargaining and a lot of conversations, the SGI is now set to be judged by all those involved in signage and graphic imaging industry in the region. There is no doubt that it was

a successful show in many aspects but of course you have to leave some room for those who are hard to impress or set the bar too high, as they cannot be easily pleased.

Almost all the major players in LFP industry who participated in the show were happy with the results.

Companies were overall happy about the organization of the show and they even went further to compare it with the biggest and best signage shows in Europe and US. One of the greatest achievements of SGI is its cross border appeal. Visitors from all over Middle East and Africa are eager to visit the show. Companies participated with full force and most of the top management travelled from Europe and US to be present at the show and interact with people.

The international aspect of the event is becoming more evident with each show. This year SGI filled 4 halls but IEC, the organizer of the show does not want to stop here. Their ultimate goal is to extend the show to all DWTC halls, a vision that is set to be materialized by 2016. Some people find this vision farfetched but judging by the signs all around us, sky is the limit for SGI.

The thought process was stimulated at the sign and graphic show, when industry leaders and professionals took the stage to express their views and thoughts about the latest trending topics in the industry.

The speakers who offered their thoughts include Nicholas Hellmuth, who talked on topics like ‘Knowing Ink, The secret of success’ and ‘Metallic Effects, Inks, Coatings and Printable Substrates’.

Ryan Christ from Flaar Reports talked about the LED/LCD profit potential for digital printers, Workflow systems for large format – why you need it and what to look for and also on the topic ‘ Social media for signs and graphics’.

Raychoudhury from HP offered his expert advice on latex technology and applications, while Ahmed El Ridi, CEO of AIMS talked about Customer engagement technology solutions.

Apart from industry professionals, companies like Canon and Verseidag presented their solutions and views.

Meanwhile, Gopinath Umapathy, Marketing Manager of Emirates Photo Marketing (EPM) said, “SGI has been a great way to secure deals and to showcase our products. The show is a great tool to re-introduce our company as a solution provider that provides quality and profitable products for all digital printing companies in the Middle East.”

HP Is Upbeat About High Demand For Latex Printers Miguel Asensio EMEA Sales Director, LF Sign & Display Production, PPS Graphics Solutions Business

Miguel Asensio (EMEA Sales Director, LF Sign & Display Production, PPS Graphics Solutions Business) of HP says. “We are planning to increase our level of activities in this region. Viewing the demand for LFP products, HP had decided to set up a special sales force to boost the market activity in the region. Latex has been quite successful in the Middle East region and it is the market leader now.”

Talking about the emerging competition in latex based technology, Miguel said, “Latex technology is very environment friendly and when compared to solvent printers, it emits no VOCs. HP is constantly working to improve its products. We had developed latex 5 years back and are aware that more and more players are today in the market offering latex.”

Miguel added that in the coming years they would be developing latex technology based on parameters like speed, size, print quality and cost effectiveness. Talking about SGI, he said, “I was indeed surprised to see the size and scale of SGI. So far we have met many customers and partners from the region.”

said, “We had signed many deals during the show and we were able to sell SureColor SC-S30610, the SC-S50610 and the SCS70610. The visitor turnout was also equally satisfying. We had the chance to meet with visitors from across the GCC, especially from UAE and KSA.” He added, “The new “SC-S50610” and “SC-S70610” S Series signage printers were top-bill at SGI Middle East. A compelling package for companies with high throughput requirements, the SureColor SC-S50610 is a 64-inch (162.6cm), 4- and 5-colour (CMYK /CMYK + white) roll-fed printer that sets new performance standards in

the highly competitive indoor and outdoor signage sector.”

Walid said, “Our new “SCT5000” and “SC-T7000” T Series SureColor wide-format printers were also presented during the event. Designed to fit seamlessly into the office environment, the SC-T5000 and SC-T7000 offer fast, reliable printing on coated and noncoated media up to 36-inch (914mm) and 44-inch (1,118mm) wide, respectively. We also provided a special presentation of the Epson Stylus Pro 11880, the world’s first true highquality wide-format printer that produces crisp colour and

black and white prints up to 64 inches. We also exhibited the Epson Stylus Pro 4900, the Epson DiscProducer PP-100, and the Epson Expression XL 10000 scanner.”

According to Epson, “The midhigh volume 64-inch SureColor SC-F7000 and low-medium volume 44-inch SureColor SCF6000 have been developed for the efficient production of quality soft signage, sportswear, apparel, accessories, customised promotional items and decorated gadgets.

SGI 2013 Deals and Discussions – A Wrap Up

Fujifilm Sees More Interest For High End Products Enis Kraeim Regional Sales Manager For Graphic Systems Fujifilm

Enis Kraeim, Fujifilm’s regional sales manager for graphic systems is upbeat about the number of potential customers who visited the stand. “During the first day we were able to sell our flagship Acuity LED 1600 UV inkjet printer to a Saudi Company Newtech. Also we were surprised to see a group of Kuwaiti customers and visitors from KSA,” Comments Enis.

Although Fujifilm is a major ink producer but Enis says the company’s main focus in SGI is to sell machines. “Our main focus in the exhibition is to promote our machinery. During 2008 and 2009 we were focusing a lot on third party inks but not anymore.” explains Enis.

ME Printer February 2013

Enis also sees good potential for Onset printers that are becoming more and more popular. Fujifilm already sold one to caravan industries in Saudi and Enis maintains that there are more interest from printers in the region. “Onset printer is targeted for high volume print market.

Next month, we will start negotiation with two of our customers in the region who are willing to invest in Onset S40i and Onset S20i,” concludes Enis.

an intuitive LCD control panel, make both printers easy and quick to set up and use. Both models output at speeds from 16 to 57m2/hr, depending upon application, and feature an integral and easily refillable, highcapacity 1.5 litre ink system.

Furthermore, the auto take-up roll – standard for SC-F7000 and optional for the SureColor SC-F6000 – allows maximum uninterrupted production runs with minimal downtime for maintenance.”

The company stated, “Epson’s MicroPiezo TFP® Print Head, which is already an established technology within the dye sublimation sector, ensures precise and repeatable performance as well as excellent longevity. These, in conjunction with Epson UltraChrome DS ink, a specially-developed new aqueous ink, produces outstanding images with vibrant colours, intense blacks, sharp contours and smooth gradations. Textile print produced by the SureColor SC-F series printers also exhibits excellent light- and wash-fastness, as well as resistance to abrasion and perspiration.”

MTC PROMOTES ITS HEAT TRANSFER PRINTING DIVISION

Magic Trading Company promoted their heat transfer printing solutions at SGI 2013. Talking about their performance, Sina Haghi, General Manager of the company said, “Our main focus this year was to promote our heat transfer printing division in the company. Customers can access information about this division at the new website: www.heattransfer.com. Our solutions included different heat transfer machines, t-shirt transfer vinyls and different types of transfer printing papers.

In addition to heat presses, we also supply inks, consumables and offer printing on various items like mug, aluminium, tile, glass, mouse pad etc.”

Mentioning about the deals signed during the show, he said, “Yes, we did sell a few heat presses during the show and customers were mainly interested to buy heat presses and some printing supplies from us.” Sina Haghi added that this time visitors were mainly from the GCC countries with a few add-ons from the African countries. Giving his opinion about SGI 2013, he said,

“We think that SGI was satisfactory but I think that there is still room for improvement. We think that the bigger brands were better represented though smaller companies that had no association with any brand names didn’t participate as before.”

He added, “Like any other industry, the sign and graphic industry has also gone through technology improvements. Digital printing on many different substrates has revolutionized the industry; however it still has limitations and is expensive. As digital printing technology is improving and the production cost is decreasing, it is gaining market share rapidly.”

MASONLITE VIEWS SGI AS PERFECT LAUNCH PAD

For Masonlite Sign Supplies and Equipment, SGI reaped in profits as they could sell out all the units that they had exhibited on the show.

Yuichi Miyano, Director, LFP Solutions of Canon Europe Ltd says being eco-friendly is an important aspect of Canon but its products carry much more attributes with it. “It’s not just about being green, but our products speak well in terms of productivity, usefulness, speed and profitability.”

Canon, which has been using bubble-jet technology in its printers together with Océ, brings in a host of solutions to the LFP and CAD market. “We complement each other in bringing out a whole range of solutions to our customers. Be it LFP or UV printers, we have the solution.”

At SGI, Canon is up with some new technologies like ‘Calibration Link’ in the Spectrophotometer, which can deliver centralized colour control and manage multiple printers from multiple locations. The Spectrophotometer can streamline colour management for one or several devices, including printing colour patches, dying and colour measurement.

Using the technology, customers can now print verification labels that shows colour accuracy.” The company displayed different LFP products and the newly launched CAD as well the GS models, such as, the iPF760, iPF765, iPF6450 and iPF8400.

Mentioning about the trends that they picked up at the exhibition, Sunil said, “We realized that the Gulf region is anxiously looking forward to technology that would replace digital printing, neon etc. People are more conscious and aware about environment protection and the UAE Government is enforcing new laws to make our environment pollution free. The general trend is to bring in the latest technology without damaging the environment. GO GREEN IS THE SLOGAN.”

Furthermore we have introduced an interactive LCD for directory sign and a transparent LCD screen box for displaying the objects in it. Lastly we have introduced a full option CNC router.”
