The real game changer is the advent of “smart packaging,” which allows the customer to directly interact with the product or provide crucial information regarding the condition of the product, both at the point of purchase and importantly, after they have left the store or the product has been delivered. To help guide attendees, Bohan will lead a discussion involving active and intelligent packaging, the latest innovations in the market, as well as where the market opportunities lie.

This past year, we’ve seen tremendous momentum in the industrial imaging arena as major manufacturers of MFPs and digital presses who currently and effectively leverage the dealer channel—e.g., Canon, Konica Minolta, and RICOH—have introduced new high-volume products. The time is now for the independent dealer channel to expand out of the office and establish a foothold in the industrial space,” says Frank G. Cannata. Note while this is a vendor agnostic event, vendor representatives from the following companies will also be present to answer questions about their individual products or services and take dealers on individual tours of their perspective booths at GRAPH EXPO 15: • Canon U.S.A., Inc. (Booth 1213): Dennis Amorosano, Vice President and General Manager Marketing and Professional Services at Canon USA • Konica Minolta Business Solutions, Inc.

The X-Rite eXact spectrophotometer with Scan Option is the recipient of the 2015 Printing Industries of America InterTech Technology Award for Innovative Excellence. Working in tandem, ExactLoop, and eXact Scan allow a press operator to monitor automatic adjustments to the ink keys on press, leading to predictable, repeatable color. At GRAPH EXPO 15, visitors can also learn about: • IntelliLoop, a full-featured closed-loop color control solution that works in conjunction with X-Rite’s IntelliTrax. Advanced features of IntelliLoop allow for reading ink key openings and sweeps immediately following scans, assuring effective key moves that get to color quickly. There is also a “roll-back” feature permitting key-openings and sweep settings from any previous scan to be automatically loaded. • IntelliSet, which leverages the digitization of color information included in the CIP data from prepress to automatically preset the ink keys, eliminating manual adjustments at the print console. • Rutherford is demonstrating how IntelliLoop and ExactLoop can work in sync with Alwan software suite-ColorHub, Print Standardizer, and Print Verifierensuring that printed files match G7 printing conditions in record time. 14 September 13, 2015 | GRAPH EXPO Official Show Daily | PrintingNews.com
