Visitors are dared to be different at FESPA Eurasia 2017

FESPA has launched its visitor campaign ‘Dare to Be Different’ for FESPA Eurasia 2017, which is taking place from 7 - 10 December 2017 at the CNR Expo in Istanbul, Turkey.
Through the exploration of new technologies, products and solutions FESPA is encouraging visitors to be different so they can take their businesses to the next level.
The exhibition will provide graphics and signage professionals as well as textile decoration specialists the chance to discover new opportunities and to see the latest product innovations and applications for the screen, digital and textile industry under one roof.
FESPA Group Exhibition manager Michael Ryan commented: “All of FESPA’s exhibitions this year have had a unified ‘Dare’ theme. We want to encourage our global community, whether they’re in the Eurasia region, Africa, Mexico or visitors to our Global Print Expo, to explore and identify something that has the potential to expand the boundaries of their existing business offering."
"By daring visitors to FESPA Eurasia to ‘be different’ we are challenging them to discover new ideas and routes to market.”
FESPA Eurasia 2017 will cover two halls of the CNR Expo and feature many leading international and regional manufacturers and distributors. Exhibitors confirmed to date include: Aleph, Canon, Eray Reklam, Folpa, HP, Inka Teknik, Mimaki, Optimum Digital Planet and Pigment Reklam.
Textile printing will once again have a substantial presence at FESPA Eurasia 2017, with a number of exhibitors showcasing solutions as well as a dedicated textile feature.
“An increased focus on textile is a trend we’re seeing globally. There was a 23% increase in textile printing exhibitors at FESPA 2017 in Hamburg and we’re now seeing this reflected at FESPA Eurasia," Michael added.
"Textile printing and garment decoration have always been a big focus in the Eurasian print industry and as our Print Census in 2015 demonstrated, textile is one of the biggest opportunities for print service providers today. We’re certainly not seeing this trend slow down for FESPA Eurasia 2017.”
Visitors to the exhibition will also have access to a host of free content at the show including textile printing and signage workshops and FESPA’s vehicle wrapping competition, Wrap Masters Eurasia, which will return to this year’s show.

The importance of ink for large format printers
Ink is crucial for large format inkjet printers, influencing substrate compatibility, productivity, and cost. Nessan Cleary discusses the three main types which include UV-curable ink, latex ink and eco-solvent ink. Each ink type has specific strengths and weaknesses, making printers choice dependent on budget and intended applications.

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.
