The UK finishing manufacturer said that the show was a major success, particularly for its newly launched range of PUR perfect binders.

According to managing director Quen Baum, the range brought back the most leads from the show, alongside its booklet-maker line, which was also popular.

He said: "Our focus for the show was very much on our international dealers, but we were also very pleased with the number of UK digital printers that we met during the course of the event.

"We were delighted to meet up with all of our European distributors during the show, and a very significant proportion of our dealers from the rest of the world. We are also especially pleased to have signed-up four significant new international distributors for our products."

Baum also suggested that the show was a couple of days too long and suggested that, with the 20% reduction in visitor numbers, it may be a more sensible option to slim it down in 2016.
