Those who visit booth 800 will get the opportunity to spin a wheel and win daily prizes that include a trip to the Grand Prix and view firsthand the automatic finishing capabilities of the Konica Minolta presses, with a personalized self portrait printed right at the booth. There will also be Air Miles giveaways and PrintSites2go will be on hand with an interactive VIP experience. 

Prepare to experience printing history at Print World, as the Howard Iron Works Museum and Restoration Facility, will be displaying some of its restored iron and platen presses. The Mississauga-based museum was founded in 1967 and is the brainchild of Liana and Nick Howard of Howard Graphic Equipment Ltd. The industry veterans have managed to collect materials and equipment from 1839 to 1950.

There are only six days left until Print World; the biggest print industry event of the year. From November 22-24, the Direct Energy Centre will welcome visitors, and the biggest names in print, including but not limited to Duplo, Epson Canada, DuraFast Label Company, Roland Enterprises and Esko. A full list of exhibitors can be viewed here.

Visit Formax at Booth 1000 during Print World to see the FD 6102 folder/inserter. The 6102 offers the latest technology in entry-level tabletop inserters making it possible for any business to automate its mailings.

The folder is affordable and will eliminate the need to send out tens of thousands of mail pieces in order to justify the cost of automation. Formax believes the FC 6102 can be a benefit to any company, no matter the size.  

Printer Gateway Inc. has launched a new website. The national wholesale trade printing provider of offset and digital printing, wide format and packaging products will service the print industry by delivering over 579,000 print products options.

Printsites2go was responsible for user experience research, branding, visual look and feel, site architecture and interactive content development for the new website.
