Xerox personalised and creative print applications will be in evidence and a focal point on the Turning Point Technologies stand, whilst Xeikon will focus on added-value front end and finishing modules.

Show organiser IIR Exhibitions has taken an interactive and educational approach to the development of Digital Print World, which has resulted in the steady expansion of an event which appeals not only to printers looking to invest, but also to marketing professionals and print buyers investigating the creative ideas and opportunities that digital print enables.

The show has trebled in size since its launch three years ago and a record number of visitors are again expected to visit this year.

The whole range of hardware, software and consumables for creative digital printing will be on show, including MIS, workflow and design software, digital presses and printers, e-commerce systems, large format inkjets, consumables and finishing equipment, said IIR.

Richard Gayle, the event manager for Digital Print World, said: "The move to Earls Court 2 has certainly encouraged more companies to exhibit and to bring more digital technology to DPW 05.

The popularity of the show reflects the strong focus of the print and marketing industry at the moment.

There is considerable interest in the potential of creative digital printing not only as powerful marketing tool but also in the tremendous added-value business potential for printers.".
