With a year to go before the inaugural show, InPrint says it has 'gathered tremendous support' from founding exhibitors including print heavyweights Agfa, Canon, Fujifilm and Mimaki. The industrial print exhibition will take place alongside manufacturing event Hannover Messe from April 8th to 10th next year, in Hannover, Germany.

"Interest in InPrint 2014 certainly seems to reinforce the fact that industrial print is deemed to be both an important and exciting area for innovative growth in the future," comments InPrint 2014 director Frazer Chesterman.

"The big target for the future where print technology is concerned is most certainly the industrial sector," says Mark Hanley, president of IT Strategies and research partner for InPrint. "Good information is an essential basis for understanding. Obviously visiting InPrint is a good starting point, but in advance of that, the IT Strategies [and] InPrint free white paper will be available soon, as will our full market intelligence report, which will be released in June."

"Whether it be introducing new opportunities and techniques or to fine tune existing processes, InPrint provides an interesting meeting point for the entire supply chain," adds Jon Bultemeyer, chairman, ESMA. "ESMA strongly supports any such event which provides the industrial community such awareness opportunities."
