The conference is supported by the All Indian Federation of Master Printers Association (AIFMP), the Indian Printing, Packaging and Allied Machinery Manufacturers’ Association (IPAMA) and PRIMIR, the Print Industries Market Information and Research Organisation, the research unit of NPES. A compelling agenda of timely topics, presented by top industry experts, is set to engage participants in lively discussion.

According to William Li, ICC co-chair and colour technology manager, Kodak, “In a world where everyone competes equally on price and time to market, colour is the way to differentiate your printed product from the rest of the pack. Interestingly, it turns out that taking the journey to improve your colour quality also improves your bottom line and your time to market. The Print Business Outlook Conference 2016 will be one of the best places for print industry companies to learn how, in a market undergoing rapid change, to get ahead in colour and enhance their product strategy.”

BMPA president Faheem Agboatwala states, “Print is evolving and the BMPA is keen to promote awareness of current and impending changes. To this end, we have joined together with NPES and ICC to host the Print Business Outlook Conference 2016.” He adds, “While not only giving our members insight into the future of print, we are also pleased to bring this carefully curated conference and sold-out event to the attention and benefit of the print fraternity worldwide.” The outstanding roster of international printing experts includes: Marco Boer, vice president, IT Strategies; William Li, ICC co-chair and colour technology manager, Kodak; Steve Smiley, president, Smiley Color & Associates Global Brand Solutions; Juergen Seitz, senior technical advisor, GMG; Elie Khoury, president, Alwan Color Expertise; Phil Green, professor of Colour Imaging at the Colour and Visual Computing Laboratory, Gjøvik University College, Norway; and, many more.

ASGA confirms support for SPI 2016

Screen Print India 2016, a dedicated platform to the screen printing industry that facilitates enhancing awareness and informal networking for over two decades, will be held from May 6-8, 2016 at Bombay Exhibition Centre, Mumbai. The credibility factor is evident from the act that SGIA (USA), SGAI and IPAMA have pledged their support, with many more to follow.

In a unique show of support, ASGA, which usually only officially supported exhibitions in China, is supporting SPI 2016 also. The International factor in the forthcoming exhibition has become even stronger with the ASGA Board Meeting to be held in Mumbai, just a day after Screen Print India 2016. So the SPI 2016/ ASGA India 2016 show will be a convergence point for country and association delegations from across Asia as they gather for this unique event. This is the second time that ASGA has supported the Screen Print India show after the 2012 edition. The Screen Print India exhibition made its debut in 1994 and has been going strong during the past 22 years. The show has become bigger in size, wider in scope (it now also includes textile printing and digital printing) and greater in significance for everyone connected with the screen printing industry.
