Print Efficiently, the fifth annual commercial printer must see event, will take place on October 6, 7 and 8 and 20, 21 and 22. Jointly staged at the premises of IFS and Apex Digital Graphics, Print Efficiently will showcase a number of solutions developed to enable printers to meet today’s production challenges.

Also in attendance this year will be guest speaker Marian Stefani, IPIA CEO and general print consultant, who will discuss key industry issues and how these can be addressed.

Says Marian: “I have a true understanding of all aspects of managing and running a company – I started a business in the printing industry, grew it by developing and launching a web2print software product, and marketed it for worldwide distribution. It wasn’t easy. I learned the importance of developing strong partnerships, to have a realistic business strategy and an original, highly creative marketing plan that will blow the competition away, increase sales and grow profit.”

IFS will again showcase its leading range of bindery solutions that touch most elements of post press production. This will include the Horizon StitchLiner, AFC566 folder and RD-4055 die cutter. There will also be solutions from lamination specialist Foliant and guillotine manufacturer Perfecta.

Print Efficiently aims to demonstrate how equipment from multiple manufacturers can work in harmony in a workflow from conception to completion. Key event partners include Epson dealer Colorbyte with printers for proofing and wide format displays, wire and comb binding from Renz, plus CyanX and KAS.

Comments Bryan Godwyn, IFS Managing Director: “Print Efficiently has become a key calendar event for forward thinking printing companies who are keen to see how they can continually improve their operation – from end to end. With speakers such as Marian we are able to show how solutions, combined with a better understanding of the pressure operations are facing, can create a clear roadmap for the future.”
