NEWS CLIPS Moving “Green” to The Next Level KENNESAW, GA | Heidelberg Druckmaschinen has released a study confirming that its “customers set great store by environmental protection,” reports Dr. Jürgen Rautert, director for engineering and manufacturing at Heidelberg. “We can show that protecting the environment and earning money are not mutually exclusive. In fact, the investments required to secure a better future for our planet pay for themselves very quickly.” Among the company’s efforts in its products are features to reduce paper waste, reduce power consumption, and reduce emissions. Rautert says the company has worked for the past 11 years to make its press production processes environmentally friendly. “However,” he says, “the focus now is on minimizing the presses’ environmental impact when in use at customers’ sites. … Our Print Media Academy network also provides support for the implementation of appropriate production methods.” Graph Expo Growing In Stature RESTON, VA | �� Please contact us. . . . .

The ranking, based on net square feet of exhibit space for the 2007 show, is up five points from the previous year. The 2008 show, produced by Graphic Arts Show Co. (GASC), promises more than 600 exhibitors and an expanded focus on new market segments. Areas of particular interest to converters include digital printing, packaging, and RFID solutions. According to Ralph Nappi, president of GASC, “Graph Expo is the marketplace for everything print, where show goers come each year to learn about the latest technologies, new business opportunities, and best practices that will enable them to grow their businesses.” More than 70 educational sessions, as well as hands-on computer labs featuring the latest in software solutions, will provide attendees with real lessons that can be put to immediate use. Kicking off the seminar program is the 13th edition of the Executive Outlook Conference, “Where Technology Meets the Marketplace—Tomorrow’s Trends in Technology—Today.” This conference is held October 25, the day before the show opens. GASC also reports plans are underway for the debut of PackPrint, a package printing, folding carton, flexo, and label-focused tradeshow. Produced in partnership with the Flexographic Technical Assn., PackPrint will launch at the PRINT 09 show to be held Sept. 11–16, 2009, at McCormick Place. More than 20,000 net sq ft of exhibit space already have been contracted, GASC reports, by companies such as Bobst, Brausse, Drent Goebel, Korber PaperLink, Carton Kraft, and Brandten & Kluge.
