Sappi again joins PrintCity at drupa
Thursday 31. January 2008 - Sappi, the worlds leading producer of coated fine paper, will present its latest innovations and well known high quality papers and boards at drupa 2008 as part of PrintCity's 'Connection of Competence'. The premier world exhibition for the printing, publishing and packaging industries runs from 29 May to 11 June in Düsseldorf.
PrintCity members’ new concept approach will inform visitors about the power of print and present the alliance’s world-leading joint project knowledge and research. It will focus on dedicated Competence Centres, a Forum presentation area and easy-to-use visitor information areas and guidance features. PrintCity and Sappi, as member of the Packaging, Commercial and Sheetfed Activity Group, will also present the second edition of the best practice guide “Optimised Sheetfed UV”, which shows ways of optimizing printing processes when using UV inks and coatings. Sappi’s stand will be one of more than 30 exhibits by PrintCity members in the show’s central Hall 6.
“Increasing market segmentation, shorter product cycles and value added print are forcing product developers to react faster and more precisely to their customers needs,” says Han Haan, Technical and Development Manager Sappi Fine Paper Europe. “The key to market success lies in a rapid response, developing interdisciplinary solutions, adapting existing products and investing in new products and processes. PrintCity is recognised by the print industry as the window to the future and so it makes excellent sense for us to demonstrate our new products and technology under its banner.”
