The show - which takes place at the RAI Exhibition Centre, Amsterdam (Netherlands), from May 16-18 - will now play host to more than 162 main exhibitors over a total 16,250 square metres of exhibition space.

The exhibitor list includes major suppliers such as Agfa, Durst, Esko, Luescher, MacDermid, Mactac, Mimaki, Oce, NUR Europe and Sun Chemical, with the most recent additions including Avery Dennison, DuPont, Ergosoft, Forsttrom, Hollanders, HP, Konica Minolta, Miller Weldmaster, Nazdar, Onyx, Scitex Vision and Vutek.

Over 30 per cent of companies participating in FESPA Digital Printing Europe are first-time exhibitors at a FESPA event.

FESPA exhibitions director, Frazer Chesterman, commented: "The support FESPA Digital Printing Europe 2006 has received from the vendor community is a massive endorsement of our strategy to address the trend towards digital production with a tailored event.

FESPA Digital has been designed to provide European visitors with an incomparable chance to see and learn about the commercial opportunities, which digital output can offer screen printers, from signage and retail POS, to some of the exciting emerging industrial applications for digital print." Those new applications include output on textiles, glass, ceramic, wood and other substrates.

Chesterman added: "The conference programme our commitment to giving visitors valuable insights and information that they can take with them to actively improve their businesses." The conference aims to help printers maximise the productivity and functions of the equipment they already have, as well as inspiring them about possible investment and innovation.

International speakers will share their knowledge, covering existing and emerging applications for digital printing.

Topics will include the flexibility of industrial inkjet printing, printing on textiles, ceramics, wood, glass and stone.

Speciality inks in digital textile printing will also be discussed, along with digital print in the retail and outdoor communications markets.

Frazer Chesterman said: "We launched FESPA Digital with complete confidence, based on the visitor research and exhibitor focus groups we had undertaken.

However, ultimately, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

The fact that suppliers have backed FESPA Digital so enthusiastically is a gigantic step towards delivering a high-calibre event that will exceed people's high expectations of FESPA." He added that interest from international visitors is already high, before FESPA's visitor promotion activity has begun.

FESPA Digital Printing Europe 2006 will be followed in June 2007 by the main FESPA screen and digital printing exhibition in Berlin (Germany).

FESPA is also already in discussion with a number of European exhibition venues regarding a FESPA Digital event in 2008, to meet exhibitor demand for a frequent cycle of pan-European digital events to reflect the shorter product lifecycles of digital manufacturers.
