The event was hosted by Duplo and its Finishing Alliance partners Renz and Friedheim at the Imax cinema in London.

A record 250 visitors attended the event, while sales of £250,000 were made at the show, including a Digital System 5000 bought by Sterling Press.

Duplo UK marketing manager Andy Pike, who organised the event, said: "This year’s London Calling event has been a great success on a number of levels.

"Visitor numbers and more importantly sales figures are of course major drivers, however, demonstrating new technologies and in turn inspiring creativity in our customers has been a key to our success. 3D technology is everywhere at the moment, and print can play a big part in this, in particular finishing."

London Calling has grown year-on-year since its inception, with 150 visitors attending last year.
