Manuel Schrutt, GM Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA), Landa Digital Printing, says: “As a company at the forefront of innovation, and with a deep-rooted passion for the print industry and its success, it was clear that taking a lead role in the next FuturePrint Summit would be a very positive move.
"Our aim throughout this challenging year and beyond is to support our customers, partners and the wider print community to ensure that businesses can succeed and grow. The FuturePrint event provides a platform to enable us to further fulfil this commitment and connect with the industry at a pivotal time. We hope that you will all join us and participate in what promises to be a very inspirational event as we look ahead to our next steps as an industry.”
With continued uncertainty prevailing and live events remaining restricted, the Summit provides a superb opportunity to catch up with all that is new in print technology including industrial, wide format, packaging and labels and commercial print, says FM Future.
Graham Kennedy, director of Industrial Print at Ricoh says: “Ricoh will again participate in the event to share the progress of our innovative work with industrial inkjet along with our unique approach to partner OEM projects in multiple markets. We also look forward to providing a look at some of our innovative technology for wide format and production printing. This independent virtual platform enables us to connect and share news and insight, and we look forward to being part of it.”
Phil McMullin, Sales Manager, ProGraphics, Epson (UK) added: “Epson's commitment to innovation has continued unabated despite the restrictions that the pandemic has obviously placed on life. We are excited to have the opportunity to present the fruits of this process at the forthcoming FuturePrint Virtual Summit. Virtual events definitely have their place right now and are likely to remain relevant in the future and having an independent platform to showcase our technology suits our needs very well.”
Marc Graindourze, Agfa Graphics: “Agfa is pleased to be supporting the Virtual Summit and are excited to discuss new inks and new applications.”
Tracey Brown, director of strategy and marketing, Meteor Inkjet says: “The FuturePrint Virtual Summit is enabling us to continue to connect with our communities while communicating the key value and benefits of our products. We have continued to remain busy during this difficult period and while the postponement and cancellation of live events have been frustrating, we have adapted and benefited from connecting with our community in a virtual way. Right now is a good time to collaborate and innovate and we are excited about being part of the next edition of the summit in October.”
