Plus, EFI is demonstrating a faster, 164-feet (50-meter) per minute speed, a higher level of throughput that can make digital inkjet label converting an even more useful option as a replacement for flexographic printing.

If the graphic communications industry has a circadian rhythm, it is the four-year cycle that peaks at the quadrennial drupa trade fair. Industry suppliers traditionally showcase big innovations at drupa, and the buildup creates a buzz that is unmatched by any other industry event. With a little more than three months to go until drupa’s doors open, the industry is already buzzing. Most industry observers expect that, for the third drupa in a row, inkjet innovation will dominate the show. If 2008 was an inkjet teaser show, and 2012 the “real inkjet drupa,” 2016 will be about broadening the inkjet revolution to reach more print businesses. We expect key inkjet innovations to focus on the un-served space—dubbed by InfoTrends as “The Zone of Disruption”—that sits between high-end toner presses and low-end inkjet.
