It was a busy four days for this editor, trying to cover Drupa’s 19 exhibit halls and still attend the numerous press conferences.

Drupa is a spectacle to behold. If you thought Graph Expo was big, consider that the Chicago show draws about 640 exhibitors; Drupa brought in 1,971. The vast majority are companies that most Americans have never heard of—names like Böhler-Uddeholm, Hunan Xinshao, and my favorite, GUK. It makes you realize how vast the graphic arts industry is, and how much of it lies outside the United States. Likewise, some of the contraptions at those booths boggle the mind, their design offering no clue as to their purpose.
