PRINT 09 Overcomes Challenges, Delivers for Attendees and Exhibitors

PRINT exhibitors observed that attendees represented not just commercial printers but all segments of the graphic communications industry, including digital printers, book publishers, newspaper publishers, in-plant printers, transactional printers, mailing and distribution professionals, along with print buyers, and among others. Sophia Farina, Quark Inc., director of marketing for North America, for example, pointed out that she was able to see not just printers but also graphic designers and students at the show, while Jeffrey Brewer, vice president and general manager for GBR Systems Corp., commented on the number of mailing professionals who attend. “Because PRINT focuses on the entire process, including finishing any number of ways, they deliver all the people we need to put that process together from one to the other. No other show does that,” Brewer said.

Summed up by Ron Pueschel of bielomatik jagenberg, Inc., “PRINT and GRAPH EXPO come the closest of all the North American shows to addressing all the market segments we serve.”
