in cooperation with Trade Show Trade Show May2014 Wide-format UV-cured Printers

Transcription

1 in cooperation with May2014 based on 2013

2 INTRODUCTION At a recent regional printer and signage expo we found four brands of printers. Yet you can expect between 50 and 80 brands of printers at APPPEXPO 2014, and over 100 different models. Now you can see why print shop owners, and distributors, come to Shanghai every July. If you skip this expo you miss out on lots of opportunities: There are dozens, scores, more brands of printers at APPPEXPO than any other expo in China. We also attend the nice Spring printer expo in Guangzhou, and enjoy it, but the summer (July) expo in Shanghai is literally essential, especially for distributors. Missing the Shanghai printer and signage expo is literally not a good idea. What is also helpful is that most of the brands are exhibited in the booth of the factory, so you can get to know the people who actually make these printers. A picture is worth a thousand words so our photo essay album is an ideal way to present the wide selection of offerings of printers that you can inspect in Shanghai this July. You can see both LED-cured and traditional mercury-arc printers. Plus there should be at least one brand of SUV ink printers. SUV is my all time favorite ink since the colors are bright and overall appearance is smooth. But traditional printers continue to be the favorite of both signage print shops and also industrial printing. Since ink can print on industrial materials it has a great future. Classification of printers by Structure Here is a helpful classification courtesy of FLAAR Reports to help you decide which printers are available: Desktop sized printers (flatbeds) Mid-sized printers (flatbeds) Dedicated flatbed printers (usually about 2x3 meters) Dedicated flatbed printers with roll-to-roll across the front Combo (transport belt) printers Roll to roll printers, from 24 to 5 meters Now here are the photos of samples of each class Desktop sized printers (flatbeds) Mid-sized printers (flatbeds) Dedicated flatbed printers (usually about 2x3 meters) Dedicated flatbed printers with roll-to-roll across the front Combo (transport belt) printers Roll to roll printers, from 24 to 5 meters To get an attendee pass, sign up and register here: To learn more about APPPEXPO, here is their web site. If you wish to hire FLAAR to learn more about inks and printers (such as a discussion on the pros and cons of LED-curing), you can have Dr Nicholas at FLAAR assist you before, during, and after APPPEXPO. Write FrontDesk@FLAAR.org to ask the fee structure for in-person consulting in Shanghai at the expo (plus preparation services before you go, and follow-up services after you have attended APPPEXPO). We also have a full-color PDF on visiting Shanghai; this is available at no cost. Shanghai is a great travel destination.
