Fespa

This year’s Fespa Global Print Expo will once again host the World Wrap Masters Europe and Series Final.

Fespa is set to introduce a new colour management technology showcase and supporting conference programme at its flagship event in Munich in May.

The countdown to Fespa 2019 has begun as the global wide-format print expo unveils its latest branding and strapline.

The longest-running awards competition in speciality print is once again calling for entries, with judges including a veteran printer to artists Salvador Dali and Joan Miró.

Fespa Eurasia is gearing up for its return to Istanbul, Turkey, from 6-9 December to mark the sixth outing of the exhibition.

CP Arts will swap out one Agfa wide-format printer for two, in a deal that includes the UK’s first Jeti Tauro H3300 LED, as it spends the summer updating its capabilities.

Fespa 2018 recorded a 22% increase in attendance on the last four-day event, which took place in 2016, with visitors from a record 142 countries attending this year's event in Berlin.

Just over a decade after the show last visited Germany’s capital, Fespa returned to Berlin earlier this month, packed with popular returning features and a number of well-received new initiatives.

Dublin-based large-format specialist CoverUp will install the 100th Vutek FabriVU Series machine when it takes delivery of the world’s first EFI Vutek FabriVU 340i soft signage printer.
