There are three tours, organised in association with the Proskills Academy. Exhibitors taking part include Canon, Duplo, Friedheim International, Fujifilm, Heidelberg, Horizon, KBA, Kodak, Komori, Manroland, Morgana, Pitney Bowes and Ricoh.

"We know that many of the 1,000-plus exhibitors have used Ipex as an international platform to launch new products and innovations," said Nick Craig Waller, Ipex 2010 marketing director. "The tours take you to the experts at selected exhibitors' stands. It's a time-efficient way to get right to the heart of the action and sample the technology hotspots at Ipex in a short time span."

The short tours cover pre-press, presses and post-press. Places are limited. Visitors should register for the tours at www.ipex.org.
