Much of the technology being demonstrated at Digital Expo 2007 at the NEC, Birmingham (UK) from May 1 - 3 will be new to the market and will create opportunities for new applications and bigger profit margins for users.

That is the claim on the show's organiser, who added that Hewlett-Packard will be showing how large format 104-nch wide, 720 dots per inch (dpi) x 720dpi graphics can be produced at 30 square metres per hour on the company's new Designjet 10000 UV mild solvent machine.

The machine has a claimed print fade-resistant for three years without lamination and the ability for dual roll, double-sided and mesh printing, this demonstration.

Print, cut and finish capabilities will be in action on the Hybrid stand with the company's range of Mimaki solvent printers, cutting plotters and Hybrid Titan laminators.

The Hybrid team will demonstrate workflow using die-cut, photo quality stickers as an example, whilst showing how producing short run, high quality, personalised products with a unique finish provides users with a strong sales proposition to boost profits.

UV equipment will feature strongly too, added the organiser.

Colourgen, Spandex and DuPont will show how companies can print on almost any rigid substrate, including doors and glass with their Colorspan 9840uv, Gerber Solara UV2 and Cromaprint 22UV machines, respectively.

The UV machines are said to be suitable for a variety of applications, including POP graphics, through to truck-side curtains, billboards and theatre back drops.
