In addition to the Fespa Digital show in four main halls, there is the Fespa Fabric, alongside. Unlike Fespa at Munich a year ago, there is no seperate component for screen printing.
 
The five things that stood out were:

1. Print is not dead
2. Smaller format UV machines from Roland and Mimaki. Durst (represented by MMT in India) launched an entry-level UV inkjet press. And Gandy Digital was back with the Pred8tor.
3. EFI launched its "cool cure" technology which drove the Vutek GS3250LX UV printer along with a raft of new kit. Océ exhibited two new models (along side some real time jugglery) in its Arizona UV flatbed range: the 360 GT and 360 XT
4. In the digital cutting table space, Esko and Zund remain unchallenged along with Aristo (who haven't sold a kit in India, recently)
5. Fewer Chinese stalls for hardware. Even though there are many companies for inks and consumables
