Next year’s PacPrint 05 has been chosen by several leading suppliers to launch exciting new product offers for the digital printing market. Ron Patterson, PacPrint 05 chairman of the board, says, "The decision to use PacPrint as a platform to launch new products further consolidates the event’s position as a leading showcase of the developments and technologies available for the Australian printing industry."
First time exhibitors Océ-Australia and G2 Solutions along with Fuji Xerox are just some of the exhibitors that will release new digital printers during the five-day event, to be held at the Melbourne Exhibition and Convention Centre, May 24 to 28.
