Intelligent Finishing Systems, which will help PrintWeek produce the Northprint Daily, Watkiss, GBC Finishing Solutions and Terry Cooper Services (TCS) have all confirmed their attendance.

Among the equipment on display at TCS will be CP Bourg binders, Challenge trimmers and CCM guillotines.

The company intends to use the event to highlight the productivity of its machines. Sales manager Dean Stayne said: "For us it has never been just about box-shifting products, but rather offering our knowledge to help clients grow their business or boost their potential by investing in finishing products."

Watkiss Automation's communication director Jo Watkiss said that the company would include the PowerSquare book maker among its machines.

She added: "Our customers need to see live product demonstrations to help them choose the best tools for their business. Northprint’s strong track record makes it the ideal venue for us to showcase some of the products that we launched at Ipex and which are now commercially available."

On stand with IFS will be the StitchLiner 5500 book production line, 40,000sph automated B2 combination buckle-and-knife folding system, the AFC566 and the BQ270 automated single-clamp binder.

IFS joint managing director Bryan Godwyn said: "There is no better place to achieve such an all-encompassing industry overview that takes into account the entire production process as well as the surrounding business considerations necessary for any thriving operation to understand.

"Printers attending to update one element of their operation could just as easily walk away with new profit generating ideas, different ways to talk to their current customers and plans for expanding their portfolio. And we consider it vital that IFS is part of that learning opportunity."
