On Demand Storms into Bean Town

While the facility was striking, exhibitors were speculating that show floor traffic was lighter and more regional than last year (attendance figures have yet to be released). Weather woes on the East Coast and complications caused by the Boston Marathon on Monday may have dampened attendance.

Close to 200 exhibitors participated in the On Demand section of the show floor (shared with AIIM). Topping the product introductions were new—or at least now being commercialized—color printing systems from the likes of Kodak, Océ, Canon, IBM and Konica Minolta. Web-to-print solutions, including ASP offerings, for small- and medium-size printers were another common development.
