PRINT 09: Fast Presses, Slow Show
Strong Focus on Applications
Though the show's emphasis on digital printing was still as strong as it usually is, there was a greater emphasis on applications and business development tools this year, as exhibitors sought to reduce their outlay for equipment at the show. A case in point was the Kodak booth, which contained not a single piece of printing equipment. Instead, various interactive displays, including ones activated by placing a printed sample on a screen, presented information on digital and offset printing applications and the Kodak hardware and software solutions best suited to produce them.
