Drupa 2024, the biggest printing tech show in the world, is happening in Düsseldorf, Germany. It's a must-visit for anyone in the printing business. For years, drupa has been the spot to check out new printing stuff, from machines to how we use them. Besides seeing the newest tech, it's also a great place to meet others in the industry, learn new things, and talk about ideas.
One of the cool things to see will be the latest in inkjet printing. This tech has gotten really good lately, especially for digital printing, labels, and packaging. It’s not just about printing stuff anymore; it's about doing it in a way that looks amazing and meets tough quality standards. Plus, inkjet printers are now really reliable, even for big jobs that need perfect color and detail.
Inkjet tech is still new and improving fast. It's important to keep up with all the updates, especially with how fast it prints and the ink it uses. The pandemic even made inkjet companies innovate more, like coming up with new inks that meet changing rules and supply issues.
Sustainability is another big win for inkjet, especially UV inkjet for labels. These inks are better for the environment, don’t need extra drying, and help cut down on energy use. Many ink makers are also making sure their inks are safe and meet strict standards.
Looking ahead, inkjet is moving into packaging with water-based inks, which will be a big deal. Drupa 2024 will be a perfect time to see what's new in UV inkjet and water-based inks for packaging.
The show will also spotlight hybrid printing, which mixes inkjet with traditional printing for better results and workflow. This mix lets companies print faster, cheaper, and in a way that’s better for the planet. You’ll see machines that can do it all in one go, saving time and resources.
Visitors will get to see how inkjet can print on all sorts of materials and how it's being used in new ways, like with cosmetics. This could even change how we do foiling in printing.
To sum up, drupa 2024 is a big deal for anyone in printing. It's where you'll see how inkjet and hybrid tech are changing the game, making printing better, faster, and greener. Don’t miss out on seeing the future of printing at drupa.
