PRINTER news

More than 40 members of the International Printers' Network (IPN) met recently at Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) in Germany for three days of programs, including a two-day introduction to the company's latest digital printing and digital finishing technologies. The IPN members, who represented 27 companies from the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, Iceland and nine European countries, convened at the Heidelberg Print Media Academy—a training center available to the entire graphic arts industry. The group also visited Heidelberg's Print Media Demonstration Center, which contains a complete range of Heidelberg equipment, from traditional offset printing, to digital printing and finishing, as well as a trip to Muelhausen to see Heidelberg's digital print finishing.
