FESPA regrets to announce the cancellation of FESPA China 2019, following the recent launch of the event in January 2019.
The decision not to proceed with this year’s event is disappointing as there was increasing demand from the manufacturing community for this show, however, as a result of challenges arising with the venue and co-located event, which FESPA was unable to resolve to its satisfaction, unfortunately, the only course of action available is to cancel at this time.
FESPA remains committed to serving the community of speciality printers and manufacturers in China and across Asia, and will return to the region with Asia Print Expo in 2021, dates and location to be announced nearer the time. This follows the success of the recent 2019 edition of Asia Print Expo in Bangkok.
The possibility of a future FESPA return to the Chinese mainland remains under review. FESPA will also continue to work closely with its Asian member Associations to deliver knowledge-sharing and networking initiatives for the region’s printers.

What are the benefits of Direct-To-Fabric printing?
Direct-to-fabric printing is gaining popularity for high-volume textile production, enabling on-demand, customized short runs. These printers offer ink flexibility, accommodating various fabric types like cotton and silk, though ink development focuses on faster turnaround by reducing pre- and post-processing. Compared to traditional methods, direct-to-fabric inkjet printing is a more sustainable option due to reduced water and chemical usage, and localized production.

What are the opportunities for large format providers regarding digital touch screens?
Digital touchscreens are becoming increasingly common, offering businesses opportunities to improve customer engagement and streamline operations. Nessan Cleary shares, while more expensive to implement than standard digital displays due to complex software and integration needs, touchscreens provide self-service options, multilingual support, and can reduce staffing costs in various settings like retail, transportation, and healthcare.
