First, Adam Dewitz over at Printmode.net took some good pictures at the show and posted them in a shared area at flickr. If you look closely you will find pictures of our booth area towards the end of the collection.
In general, the show went like I anticipated in the #41 post. A few things did surprise me somewhat. Normally the last day of a trade show the floor traffic is slow at best. This year, however, I was busy doing product demonstrations right up to 3:30pm and the show closed at 4:00pm. A bit of a surprise and I am not sure how to explain it.
The other surprise was the large amount of large format inkjet printing equipment present at the show. I do not remember ever seeing this much wide format and flatbed inkjet equipment at a Printing Industry show. I saw more of it at the SGIA show in Las Vegas recently, and at past ISA shows, but this is a first for GraphExpo or Print if my recollections are correct. This is probably a trend to keep an eye on.
Along the same lines digital printing continues to grow. Not only did Xerox and HP have their normal large presence, but so did several smaller players. Many of the smaller players are offering good solutions costing $30,000 and less to enter the color digital printing market.
Over all, at ColorMetrix we view the show as a success and if you stopped by to get product information or just to say hello, thank you for contributing to that success.
