Large format print technology will be on display and put to creative
use at an upcoming sign and graphic imaging exhibition in Dubai.
The Sign and Graphic Imaging (SGI) Middle East exhibition will take place from January 24 to 26, 2011 at the Airport Expo Dubai.
Some of the world’s largest print units will be flown into Dubai for
exhibiting at the trade show – the region’s leading gathering of print
industry professionals.
“SGI Middle East is an important show in this region and ADS uses the
show as a platform for demonstrating its high-end equipment and
products to prospective clients and associates,” said Joseph K John,
managing director at ADS.
ADS will be demonstrating Tekcel CNC routers from Australia, graphtec
cutting plotters from Japan, GCC laser engraving/cutting machines from
Taiwan, and ITC CNC tools from the UK.
A high resolution large format digital printer will be a new
attraction for the ADS stand at the show. With an output speed of
100-square-metres per hour visitors will be able to see the unit in
action.
Giffin Graphics will also be promoting large-format print technology
when it showcases the latest units from the UK’s Durst, a world-class
manufacturer of professional large and medium format digital imagers for
the photographic and graphic industries.
“Giffin Graphics has been a regular participant in SGI since 2003, so
this will be our ninth year and we are looking forward to it,” said
Elias Bekhaazi, manager, digital graphic systems division, Giffin
Graphics.
“Giffin Graphics is a UAE-based company and the Middle East is our core market,” he added.
The Durst portfolio includes durst inkjet technology large format
direct to media UV curing inkjet printers featuring durst quadro array
printhead technology, which provides uncompromisingly high quality print
with exceptional productivity.
Another local distributor, Honaz, will use SGI as the regional launch
pad for promoting the new OTM wide format printer using Konica Heads.
Honaz will also be promoting Infiniti printers, Xaar printheads,
Copytrax CD printers and SA International Photoprint RIP software.
“One of the most unique attractions of SGI Middle East is the fact
that the show can accommodate large format print machines,” said Abdul
Rahman Falaknaz, chairman of International Expo-Consults (IEC), the
organiser of the SGI Middle East exhibition.
“It is ideally located at Airport Expo Dubai which enables our
exhibitors to fly in their products and set them up to run throughout
the show. This is a great benefit to them and to the many buyers who
visit SGI, as they get to see the very latest technology in operation,”
he added. – TradeArabia News Service
