IPEX 2002 -- Accent on the Positive

IPEX 2002 was a coming out party of sorts for the new HP Indigo Div. of HP Digital Publishing Solutions, which had its genesis at PRINT 01. Indigo founder Benny Landa noted the symmetry in this turn of events since the company unveiled its first digital press at IPEX 93.

Having also announced a planned merger at PRINT, Barco Graphics and Purup-Eskofot chose IPEX as the venue to unveil the combined company's new corporate identity: Esko-Graphics. The new entity's headquarters will be in Gent, Belgium, it was revealed, but exactly how the organization's two U.S. operations will be integrated has not been finalized.
