The front cover of the July/August edition of Sign Africa Journal highlights Midcomp’s launch of the world’s first Pay Per Use system for entry level and low volume production printers that includes all of the printer consumables (excluding media) and service costs and also includes the cost of the printing equipment. With PPUGRO, PPU stands for Pay Per Use and GRO reflects the company promise: Catalyst for Growth.
Other features include:
Pattern coating science is key to printable self-adhesive products
Adhesives are absolutely critical to the success of applications across a range of sectors. Simply put, if you get this choice wrong, then you put the entire project in jeopardy and run the risk of undoing your hard work earlier on in the process, thus costing you valuable time, money and, potentially, repeat business.
The increasing value of automation in the printing industry
Automation poses huge benefits for the printing industry across all sectors. An automated workflow allows for a more optimised production flow, from reducing the waste produced to the time needed to manually adjust settings, which all leads to significantly shorter delivery times.
The power of 3D holographic signage
Taking inspiration from popular sci-fi movies, some of today’s manufacturers are expanding the capabilities of video wall technology, and by proxy, the future use cases of digital signage.
Gear up for business in the graphics, print and sign industry
Visitors will have the opportunity to see new products and business opportunities in the world of graphics, signage, digital printing, branding, T-shirt printing, mug printing, vehicle graphics, laser engraving, binding equipment, digital packaging solutions, wide format printing and more at the Graphics, Print and Sign Expo, taking place from 14-16 September at the Gallagher Convention Centre.
Impact of print
According to Laurel Brunner, writing for the Verdigris project, workflow automation, whereby data flows to a plate or press seamlessly and with minimal human intervention, still fills too many printers with fear.
Sign Africa Cape Town Expo hailed a success
The successful Sign Africa Cape Town expo, held from 18-19 May at the CTICC, attracted 1140 visitors from around Western Cape, Northern Cape and Namibia. The event was well received by visitors and exhibitors alike. The event was sponsored by Platinum sponsors Roland DG South Africa and Stixo Signage Supplies.
