Starleaton with newly acquired DES, having booked its largest - ever trade show stand at PacPrint 2017, will devote a proportion of the 483 sqm area to professional photography and fine art digital reproduction.
CEO of the merged operation, Ben Eaton says: “There is no dedicated photography trade show in 2017 and DES has built a very substantial following in this area with photo-art inkjet papers from Hahnemuhle, Breathing Colour, hand-made Awagami; its

own-brand ChromaJet plus Epson printers and original media. We see an opportunity to reach out to professional image-creators, print labs, schools, colleges and TAFEs and present a comprehensive display of photo/fine art technology, media, colour management and know-how.”
Eaton says this will expand PacPrint’s appeal even more to a new audience that covers both professionals and ‘prosumers.’ The area will be dynamically themed and will also feature Eizo calibratable monitors, X-Rite colour measurement and profiling products plus free profiling services for users of Starleaton-supplied media.
“Our PacPrint presence is the largest of any dedicated wide-format supplier,” says Eaton, “and that includes the major equipment manufacturers. Now that Visual Impact is co-located with PacPrint and organisation is by the Visual Connections team, we feel very positive about the timing and success of the event.”
More information about Starleaton’s photo and fine art initiative will be announced in the lead-up to PacPrint, which takes place at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre from 23-26 May 2017.
Starleaton’s stand E30 is right in the heart of the show and can’t be missed.
