BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND—Xerox has strengthened its commitment to the IPEX 2006 international graphic arts showcase by securing more than 5,000 square meters of exhibit space, an increase of more than 40 percent from its initial request. According to the show organizers, some 85 percent of stand space across the 11 halls has now been confirmed. IPEX is set to run at the NEC fairgrounds in Birmingham from April 4-11, 2006. The event will feature a new hall layout, with visitors following the printing process from prepress to press machinery through to postpress and converting. (www.ipex.org)
