Gulf Print & Pack 2022, a leading trade show in the Middle East and Africa has been drawing crowds for exhibiting latest innovations in commercial print and package printing since the past two days.
Multi-million dirhams worth of machinery are running live for demonstrations to showcase solutions for print and packaging requirements across a wide range of industries.
Barry Killengrey, Event Director of Gulf Print & Pack 2022 said, “The exhibition floor is buzzing with machinery and equipment running live that are generating great interest from our visitors. This kind of experience helps to cement the value of the event as a platform for not only showcasing innovations but enabling companies to demonstrate how they can add value to their clients’ businesses.”
For the first time in the Gulf region, Kodak showcased its Nexfinity digital press. The machine offers commercial printers an opportunity to transform their businesses into high-revenue, high margin applications.
Luis Penades, Channel Program Director of Kodak said, “The press offers the greatest possible variety in terms of substrate types as well as sheet sizes and thicknesses. It also provides a unique range of print embellishment options in its fifth imaging unit. All these features enable the Nexfinity press to produce an extensive range of high-quality, highly customised jobs. The first day went extremely well with a high number of attendees visiting our booth. It was great to be back in person, meeting face to face and providing live demonstrations throughout the day.”
Another important launch which took place at GPP 2022 was Ricoh International‘s ProTM printer. The company unveiled its ProTM L5130e/L5160e latex roll-to-roll printers in the Middle East. The machine is designed for sign and display specialists and graphic arts printers who require faster short run production, broader job capabilities and enhanced productivity.
Dennis Moll, Commercial Director, Ricoh International said, “The Pro L5130e/L5160e Series combines reliability and media versatility. We were successful to impress our visitors by the performance and the consistency of the machines. The show provided us a great opportunity to confirm deals and sign contracts with multiple customers.”
