Every four years the epicenter of the printing world is a complex of 19 large buildings on the north side of Düsseldorf, Germany. Beginning this week, from Thursday, May 29 through until June 11, drupa 08 will become the nexus of every imaginable aspect of print technology. This convergence of equipment and software, ideas and knowledge, innovation and inspiration attracts some 400,000 people from dozens of countries who come to learn how they can take advantage of the latest technologies for adding value to the art and science of putting ink or toner on a sheet of paper or other material. And how to make money in the process.
Océ, Print City and drupa 08 Going beyond the ordinary
At stand A44, Hall 6, Océ is opening the doors to Print City, a showcase of Océ technology with something for virtually everyone involved in creating and producing printed documents. In four unique areas, guests will experience first hand a broad range of live application demonstrations, real production workflows and new product introductions. All are designed to help print professionals see how Océ technology can help take their businesses beyond the ordinary, whether they are engaged in publishing, personalization, promotion, and corporate or technical printing. If you can't find inspiration and ways to innovate after a visit to Print City, check your pulse.
