Editor’s Note

Eskandar Jahanbani Editor in Chief

Drupa 2012 concluded almost two months ago; however its impact on the industry and the technologies displayed still reverberates through the world of graphic arts. In this issue we continue with our drupa post show report; we dig deeper into the technologies on display plus provide an insight into the digital versus offset debate. Based on figures released by some suppliers and the number of deals sealed during drupa, our final verdict is that drupa 2012 was quite a successful event for the regional suppliers. Heidelberg alone sold around 35 million Euros worth of equipment to printers from across the region. Once again the bulk of orders were sheetfed presses, which means offset is still very much in demand in our area and we expect this trend to continue for the unforeseeable future. In our region, summer is considered the hibernation period; at least this is what conventional wisdom says. However a number of important events including Gitex and Paper Arabia will take place right after summer. We are already gearing up for these events. For the first time ME Printer will have a stand in Gitex. Why? Well first of all it is the flagship IT event in the region and big digital printing players such as HP and Epson have always took part in the show. On the other hand, large format printer suppliers are also warming up to Gitex. Hopefully we will see more digital printing players embracing this opportunity to spread the awareness regarding printing among non professional visitors, who on the long run can become potential print buyers. For the third time we have been chosen as the official media partner for Paper Arabia, the flagship paper and related industry event in the Middle East. We will be covering the events and news during the run up to the show. So no hibernation for us this summer!

For the first time ME printer will have a stand in Gitex

Social Tribute

Lebanon: Veteran Journalist Ghassan Tueni Passes Away at 86

ME Printer July 2012

His contributions to the Lebanese society remembered

After a prolonged illness, Ghassan Tueni, veteran Lebanese journalist, politician and diplomat, passed away. According to the reports in Associated Press, Tueni died at the American University of Beirut Medical Centre at the age of 86. Known for his vibrant nature, Tueni was often referred to as the ‘Dean of Lebanese Journalism’. Working as the Editor in Chief of An-Nahar newspaper for half a century, he acclaimed fame for his bold and outspoken behaviour. His editorials that were published every Monday in An-Nahar, was well received by people in Lebanon. AP reports that Tueni was born on January 5, 1926 to a Greek Orthodox Christian family, and he studied at the American University of Beirut and went on to earn a master’s degree in political science from Harvard University

in 1947. He returned to Lebanon and took over the An-Nahar newspaper, founded by his father, serving as its editor-in-chief and publisher for decades. Known for his keen intellect and ambitious nature, Tueni branched into politics and served

several terms in parliament and as head of several ministries, including higher education and social affairs. He was Lebanon’s ambassador to the U.N. between 1977 and 1982 at the height of the Lebanese civil war and is remembered for having stood before the Security Council and delivering an impassioned plea: “Let my people live!” “With the loss of Ghassan Tueni, Lebanon has lost one of its authentic national symbols,” Prime Minister Najib Mikati said in a statement. In 2008, following clashes between pro- and anti-Syrian factions, Tueni was among politicians who signed the Doha Agreement that ended Lebanon’s worst fighting since the civil war. Tueni is survived by his wife, Shadia el-Khazen, and four granddaughters. His funeral will be held Saturday in Beirut.

Iraq: Al-Wifaq Orders Two Goss M-600 Web Presses The investment aims to improve print quality of publications

Shaking hands on the order for two new M-600 presses are Jean Segura, Vice-President of Sales EMEA, GOSS (left) and Muthanna Abdul Samad Al-Samarraie, owner and Managing Director of Al-Wifaq

Al-Wifaq Printing Company of Iraq has signed an order with Goss International at Dusseldorf, during drupa 2012, for two new 16-page M-600 web presses. The investment is part of the company’s drive to modernize and innovate in ensuring the highest commercial print quality in Iraq. According to representatives of Al-Wifaq Printing Company, the Goss M-600 press will be a huge contribution towards the develop-

ment of the printing industry in Iraq, in particular, and throughout the Arab countries in general. “Iraq is currently going through an intensive investment program, but technical capabilities are only one side of the equation,” comments Muthanna Abdul Samad Al-Samarraie, owner and managing director of Al-Wifaq Printing Company. “We aim to invest in the latest, state-of-the-art technologies that will allow us to reflect the unique spirit and artistic endeavours of our nation. We are investing for the ability to produce publications with the highest quality and aesthetic appeal so that we can give clients the means to express their creative ideas in beautiful, highly impressive print.” The two Goss M-600 presses ordered by Al-Wifaq Printing Company will initially be used to produce a range of high-quality books and magazines. The presses will

incorporate a number of the latestgeneration automation features as displayed on the Goss booth at drupa to ensure maximum efficiency and low makeready waste. These include the enhanced Goss Autoplate automatic plate changing functionality. The presses are scheduled for installation during the first quarter of 2013. Al Wifaq was established in 1988 by the late Abdul Samad Al Samera’i. His sons, Muthana, Abdul Samad, Ahmad and Muhammad continued the efforts of their father and worked on developing the company. Al Wifaq is specialized in printing books, magazines and posters. According to Muthanna, “By investing in one of the best brand in commercial web printing, we are dedicating our relentless pursuit of modernization, and development, and thereby help translate the ideas of our customers into a daily reality.”

Egypt: Al Amiria Delays Election Results

ME Printer July 2012

The print house played a crucial role in the Presidential elections

For the first time in the history of Egypt, a printing press played an important role in the Presidential Election of the country. Al Amiria Printing House in Egypt was responsible for the printing of ballot papers and all official publications issued by the State. During the electoral procedure, accusations were raised that some of its em-

ployees had accepted bribes and agreed to forge the ballot cards. Though Dr. Mohamed Morsi was declared President afterwards, there was much delay caused in the whole process. According to a report published by Asharq Alawasat newspaper, the name of Al Amiria Printing House filled in local media as Public Prosecutors conducted investigation on charges of fraud and pre-marking the ballot cards in favour of a rival presidential candidate. The Presidential Electoral Committee had then decided to postpone the presidential election, based on the findings of the committee. Hatem Bagato, Secretary-General of the Committee said that though it was revealed that the cards were printed at Al Amiria Printing House, investigations concluded that the cards were all marked outside the press. With the news of the forged

ballot cards coming out, local newspapers reported that, “The final verdict in the run-off to the election will not be based on the poll results but rather would be based on Al Amiria Printing House, which for the first time had played an important part in determining the fate of the winner.” Al Amiria Printing Press was established in the name of Bulaq Press, in Cairo on September 1820. The press was officially opened during the era of Mohamed Ali Pasha in 1821, and was involved in the printing of military books, after which they started to print literary and scientific material. Al Amiria Printing House prints the official gazette of the State, and is published every Thursday. It is the oldest Egyptian newspaper. Apart from Al Amiria, the Police Press in Egypt was also involved in the printing of electoral cards this time.

Abu Dhabi: Print Workshop Held The one day event demonstrated poster printing Abu Dhabi Tourism and Cultural Authority in association with leading cultural and social organizations conducted Artscape of World Culture at Manarat Al Saadiyat in Abu Dhabi. Inspired by the exhibition-Treasures of the World’s Cultures – the one day event invited people of all ages to explore an international bazaar of artists, craftspeople and performers. As part of the event the visitors were introduced to print making. German artist Johannes Häfner conducted a print-making performance. He explained the print procedure and gave away a series of posters that were designed for Artscape. The print-making event was held in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut – Germany’s cultural institution. During the event, Sharjah Art Foundation conducted a workshop called Mapping Abu Dhabi,

based DJs Mo Laudi and Etienne Tron played music from Africa, Asia, and the Americas that were selected from the archive of Musee du Quai Branly. The Indian Embassy and its cultural wing presented ancient dance forms of India, while the Republic of Indonesia presented a live concert with a unique set of instruments.

The print-making event was held in collaboration with the GoetheInstitut

where visitors and residents were asked to creatively map the city of Abu Dhabi. An interactive map was created that highlighted the unique places and spaces of interest of the common people. The program was held by Sharjah Biennial 10 Commission in association with Sharjah Art Foundation. Apart from the workshops and lectures, entertainment was also a major part of the show. Paris

Qatar: Al Jazeera Printing Press Adds on Heidelberg Speedmaster CD 102 Investment aims to meet customer demands

ME Printer July 2012

Jacob Kannath, Director, Al Jazeera Printing Press

Al Jazeera Printing Press based in Qatar recently signed a deal with Heidelberg Middle East for a Speedmaster CD 102 -5 colour machine. The deal was made to ensure timely and quality service to its customers. Commenting about the deal to ME Printer Magazine, Jacob Kannath, Director of the press said, “We will be installing the press by early August this year. This installation would act as a pressure absorbent by helping us to meet the orders of the high-end customers, who are very specific about time and quality.” Jacob said that the press is already in possession of a 70 x 100 format machine, and was seeking for an additional one to supplement the growing print demands from the market. In business since 2002, Al Jazeera Printing Press went through a process of extensive modernization following an ownership change in 2007. Jacob said, “When we bought the press back in 2007, it was a very small establishment. Back then it had a monthly turnover of around 67,000 riyals. Today, we generate 3 million plus in a month.” A banker by profession, Jacob’s entry into the print industry was just a coincidence. Sharing his views on the Qatar print market, he said, “We always strive to provide quality products to our customers, and that too on time. In Qatar, it’s often a limitation to find quality print providers. Keeping this in mind, at Al Jazeera we always ensure that our printing services are not disrupted at any given time. We have a back up of

most printing units, for example we have 2 CtP’s, 2 die cutting machines, 2 letter presses along with a list of other alternatives– which ensures that we don’t have to go elsewhere when an emergency occurs. The operation cost of these machines gets equated with the volume of print orders, and we always guarantee customer satisfaction, both in terms of quality and quantity.” Al Jazeera Printing Press provides round the clock service and offers digital, offset and screen printing services. They print brochures, calendars, diaries, books, paper bags, commercial print jobs, broadsheets, flyers and the like. Jacob opines that there is still space for quality printers in the Qatar market, provided they can give print services at a medium cost. He adds, “There are many bottlenecks in Qatar when it comes to supplied material and after sale service. Most of the suppliers here are not able to meet our demands, especially for premium quality papers. We usually import papers from Dubai, Lebanon, and sometimes from Germany or UK. Another issue is after sale service. It’s often difficult to find a service provider, who guarantees you a good after sale service.” A Heidelberg house in all aspects, Al Jazeera Printing Press has equipped its pre press to post press departments with Heidelberg equipments. Jacob explained, “We have always opted for Heidelberg machines, we consider it as our forte in printing. In Press, we have a Heidelberg

Berg GTO-52 -1 colour, a GTO52-2 colour, a Heidelberg SORM 52 x 72 – 1 colour machine, a Heidelberg CD 74 +LX -4 colour + coating unit, a Heidelberg Speedmaster SM 102 x 72 – 2 colour machine and Heidelberg CD 102 – 5 colour machine. In Pre-press we have Screen CtP systems, Screen Kattana Image setters and Champion Die making systems. In Post Press, we have Heidelberg Folding machines, Heidelberg ST 300 Stitch Master, Sakurai 102 UV coaters etc. Well equipped in digital equipments, Al Jazeera prints on a 1.5 m HP Designjet 5500, a Konica Minolta, an EFI Rastek S6500 flat bed machine among others.” The clientele of Al Jazeera include Doha Municipality, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Planning, Ministry of Municipal Affairs, Qatar Airways, Qatar National Bank, Qatar Petroleum, Standard Chartered Banks, Lulu group and major advertising agencies and educational institutions. Al Jazeera was awarded the Best Supplier Award by Qatar Foundation last year and they also received Dubai International Print Award (DIPA 2012) in the Newsletter category. Sharing the future plans of Al Jazeera Printing Press, Jacob said that the company has plans to shift to its own building, which he said would be complete in the next 3 years. “Currently there is a space constraint in the present building. Gradually we will shift to our new premises and after that we would be considering with future investment plans.”

Libya: General Company For Paper & Printing to Print Electoral Material Publicity campaigns starts on a shy note

The Operations Management Committee in Libya has authorized the National Electoral General Company for Paper and Printing- to print the electoral and polling material to be used in the upcoming elections in Libya. The election for the Public

National Conference is scheduled to be held in Libya on July 7, 2012. Salem Al-Sharif bin Taher, Director of the Electoral process told UNHCR news agency that they have commissioned the General Company for Paper and Printing to print the material required for the electoral process. He added that the company had printed many brochures and leaflets, including the guidelines and bulletins that illustrated the electoral procedure. At the meantime, major cities and streets in Libya have started off with the election campaigns. Huge banners of candidates adorn the streets, while others resort to campaigning through social media sites like Facebook. Satellite channels in Libya have allotted

free time to candidates, and an independent satellite channel was created for this purpose. Salem announced that the time allotted for the election campaign will expire on 5th of July, and the voting will start on 7th of the same month. This is the second date to be chosen for the election, as the election was postponed earlier citing logical and technical errors. As the campaign continues, some of the candidates had complained that dearth of printing presses and media agencies have resulted in the slowdown of printing banners and posters. They also said that lack of resources and inexperienced ad agencies have led to a sluggish electoral campaign.

Roger Pellow, Managing Director, Labels & Package Printing division, Tarsus Group

Tarsus Group, international business-to-business media group, has expanded its flagship Labels & Package Printing product portfolio with a brand new event Packprint Summit Middle East. Packprint Summit would be complementing their global series of exhibitions and conferences – Labelexpo and Labels & Labeling Magazine. The Packprint Summit will take place at the Al Bustan Rotana in Dubai from 6-7 November 2012. Focusing entirely on the package printing industry, Packprint Summit Middle East is sponsored by Kodak and supported by Package Print Worldwide magazine. Aimed at brand owners and package printers/converters, the Summit comprises a two-day conference program and table-top exhibition and is designed to deliver an educational and practical platform for delegates to learn about current trends and technologies, as well as provide a valuable networking opportunity. The design and printing of flex-

ible packaging, cartons, pouches, sachets, blister packs, wrappers, labels, sleeves, bags and sacks are amongst some of the fastest growing and dynamic sectors of the printing industry. Innovative, creative, technically demanding and environmentally aware, package printing is a global business and a complex one through its use of presses, materials and print finishes. Roger Pellow, Labels & Package Printing division Managing Director said: “Despite worries about the current economic climate, the package printing/product decoration industry is booming. More and more converters are wisely seeing the opportunity to grow in this fast changing part of printing with short runs increasing and demand for more variations and versions ever intensifying. For instance, the print market in the Middle East and North Africa is growing at a phenomenal rate and alone has an estimated growth of 42% to $11bn by 2015. With such innovation

and healthy growth in the global marketplace, it is important that we open this sector up to new audiences to demonstrate and share ways they can drive costs down, increase profitability and add value to their customers.” Komal Sharma, MD and VP sales for Kodak MEAF & Turkey region commented: “Kodak is pleased to be the Gold Sponsor of this inaugural summit dedicated to the Middle East packaging industry. Packaging is one of the core areas of expertise at Kodak. Kodak solutions can help brand owners and retailers with stunning high shelf impact packaging while preserving brand equity, security and driving efficiency from design through print production. Our new ground breaking Flexcel NX and Flexcel Direct System are industry leading solutions and are being appreciated in the packaging industry for their process and cost control efficiency, high quality flexo printing capability and superior quality.”

UAE: Masar to Print Curricula of Private Schools The printing press will print and supply around 216 titles to each school The Ministry of Education in UAE has assigned Masar Printing and Publishing in Dubai to print school material for private schools. Around 216 titles would be published and supplied to each school as per this program. According to Al Bayan newspaper, Sheikha Khulood Al Qasimi, Director of the Curriculum Department in the Ministry of Education has signed the contract with Masar Printing and Publishing for the printing of the books. She informed that the Ministry will supply the list of the schools to the printing press. Sheikha Khulood noted that the curriculum department determines the number of textbooks and teaching guides to be printed each year, based on the curriculum. She added that every year they call for a tender specifying the technical details of the books, and gives the contract accordingly.

Faisal Bin Haider, CEO of Masar and Tawseel explained the procedure carried on by the printing press. He said that the printing press first receives the list of private schools along with details like address, telephone number, fax number, and email. They also receive the design of the books in a CD-ROM and based on that they send the price quote to each school. After printing the first proof, they submit it to the school and on getting the approval goes on with the printing. He said that throughout this procedure they keep the Department of Curriculum updated with the work. Faisal said that they are happy with

the strategic partnership entered with the Ministry of Education. He also mentioned that Masar has been in the field of printing since 1983, and are equipped with the latest machinery that specializes in the printing of school books. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The production lines in the press are fully computerized, and ensure efficient and speedy procedure. We were able to supply the textbooks for public schools last year within a short span of time, and had won the admiration and satisfaction of the concerned Ministerial authorities.â&#x20AC;? He said that they have formed a working group, which follows up with the requirements of the private schools and keeps them posted on the latest developments. With a large number of private schools in the region, the group will ensure that the distribution companies deliver the books to the schools with high efficiency.

Bahrain: Association For Advertisers Hold Meeting The association projects an advertising market of about $55 million

Khamis Al Muqlah Chairman of the Bahraini advertisers’ association

The Bahraini association for advertisers organized a business meeting last month in the capital city of Manama. The meeting was attended by major advertising agencies in Bahrain as well as by various media agencies. The business meeting was held as part of the association’s strategy to attract younger workforce into the advertising sector in Bahrain. As per the reports of Al Wasat, a Bahraini newspaper -Khamis Al Muqlah, Chairman of the Bahraini advertisers’ association, said that the volume of ads in the Bahrain market amounted to about $23 million during the first quarter of the year, and is expected to reach around $55 million by the end of June this year. Akram Miknas, who is a well known figure in the advertisement industry, said that an estimated amount of $45 million was spent in Bahrain during the first quarter of this year, while the previous year only $40 million was spent for the same period. He added, “Development of the advertisement industry is still a difficult task. There are a lot of

challenges to be overcome in this sector.” He hoped that the sector will face improvement during the current year. Khamis Al Muqlah informed the audience that the advertising market in Bahrain reached $23 million during the first three months of 2012, compared to the $26 million figure for the same period in 2011. He added, “Figures show that the advertising revenue during the first quarter of this year is low compared to the previous year.” He hoped that there will be more growth during the second quarter of 2012 as the Formula One Championship will bring in more movement into the industry. He explained, “We expect the advertising market to reach a figure of $55 million as a result of the Formula One Championship that is being held in the country. Despite the coming summer holidays and the advent of the holy month of Ramadan, which are expected to create a lull to the advertising sector, we expect momentum in the industry. In the coming periods, we expect the market to reach the $140 million

figure as in previous years.” He said that cost cutting measures like reducing corporate expenses, advertising budgets, cutting down promotional products etc affected the market negatively and lowered the sales. He said, “If companies want to promote the sales of their products and services and maintain the market share, they must increase the amount spent on advertising and on marketing their products and services. Then only they can increase the sales and improve cash flows.” He asked firms to increase their marketing budget and advertising expenditure, as it increases the sales volume. He indicated that the increased number of ads in the market has created optimism in the market. He also pointed out that when a dealer reads newspapers or watches TV he is exposed to a huge amount of advertising and gets a feel that the market is fine. Khamis observed that during recession there was less number of advertisements that led to investor resentment and ultimately made things worse.

Iraq: Law Proposes to Supply NGOs With Presses

ME Printer July 2012

Around 40 printing presses will be distributed to NGOs in Kurdistan

The Parliament of Kurdistan held a conference last month to prepare a draft law that agreed to supply non-governmental organizations with printing presses. The conference, which was held in the Arbil city, was attended by Parliament

Speaker Arsalan Baez, along with a number of University Lecturers, parliamentarians, representatives of civil organizations, NGOs and a group of legal experts in the field of printing presses, as per the reports of local media. Arslan Baez, Parliament Speaker said, “The Parliament of Kurdistan makes sure that we involve civil society organizations, while passing a law.” He stated that the preparation of the draft law to equip non-governmental organizations with printing presses is an important step in enriching the printing industry of the country. Arsalan noted that large quantities of books and posters were being printed outside the

country and asked provincial governments to provide the adequate facility to these proposed printing presses. Baez added, “Typographical error is a common mistake seen in the publications, and with the new legislation we seek to minimize these errors and improve the facility of the presses.” He pointed out that the around 40 presses would be distributed to the nongovernmental organizations in the three province of Arbil, Dohuk and Sulaymaniyah. Prof. Dr. Adnan Abdullah, who was at the meeting said, “The bill for establishing printing presses in non-governmental agencies will enforce the printing scenario in Iraq.”

UAE: Emirates Printing Press Strengthen Packaging Front With a Gallus ICS 670 The investment will help to meet the current and future demands of the press

ME Printer July 2012

Thanks to its modular architecture, the machine can be expanded at any time in the future, so that we can respond to changing market needs without any problems Mohamad Al Shirawi, CEO, Emirates Printing Press L.L.C.

Emirates Printing Press L.L.C. (EPP), headquartered in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, decided a few months ago to purchase an inline machine system from Gallus Stanz- und Druckmaschinen GmbH. The Gallus ICS 670 will be used to make folding carton and tobacco products in a seamless process – from the roll to the finished, die-cut blanks. The investment is part of the EPP’s strategy to expand its activities in the packaging sector. The Gallus ICS 670 destined for EPP comprises four gravure units, nine EVA (Easy Value Add) platforms, a rotary embossing unit, and the Gallus FCL 670 flat-bed die-cutter. Emirates Printing Press will use HiDef flexo printing™ and screen printing modules on the EVA platforms. Other finishing methods such as cold foiling, lamination, hot foil embossing or rotary hot foil embossing are also integrated in the platforms as options. “It was the one-of-a-kind production and process flexibility offered by the Gallus ICS 670, and that was the main reason for our investment decision,” explained, EPP’s CEO Mohamad Al Shirawi and Executive Director Samuel Natarajan. “We chose this configuration because it allows us to cover most of our current

portfolio. Thanks to its modular architecture, the machine can be expanded at any time in the future, so that we can respond to changing market needs without any problems.” EPP has been certified by several different organizations for its exemplary quality and standardization policies, and regularly wins prestigious awards at international quality competitions. A total of sixteen, heatset web offset, sheetfed offset and sheetfed gravure presses are in operation at the printing company. In addition to books, magazines and assorted presswork, EPP also makes high-end packaging for cosmetics, perfumes, confectionery, and tobacco products on behalf of world famous brands. Inline folding carton converting The Gallus ICS 670 will enable Emirates Printing Press to realize not only alternative printing processes but also a revolutionary production and material flow concept. With this in mind, the company recently built a new work facility that is optimally aligned to the requirements of continuous, streamlined inline production from the roll. This facility is sufficiently large to accommodate a second production

line – further evidence of EPP’s faith in the capabilities of the inline system. EPP’s entry into the new inline production era was preceded by careful preparation. In-depth training in flexo and screen printing as well as the necessary prepress processes was provided to both operators and managers at the Gallus Converting Center in Weiden, Germany, and Gallus Screeny in Switzerland. Specialized theoretical knowledge was backed up by practical training on an identical machine system. “We’d like to say a big thank-you to Gallus for the excellent training that was put on for us in Weiden and St. Gallen. We learned an awful lot,” said Jayaraj S. Thomas, Senior Production & Plant Manager at EPP. The HiDef flexo printing™ and gravure units, rotary embossing unit, and Gallus FCL 670 flat-bed die-cutter have meanwhile successfully started production at EPP. The outstanding print quality of the Gallus ICS 670 has already been testified by an application engineer of a leading ink manufacturer. Parallel to this, the operator team has received further on-site training from Gallus specialists in the run-up to the new inline machine system’s final acceptance at Emirates Printing Press.

UAE: Gulf News Goes Berliner With KBA Cortina It is the first waterless KBA press in the Middle East

Gulf News launched the first compact newspaper in the Arab world. The Berliner version is easier for readers to handle, and visually attractive. “Such innovation is an integral part of Gulf News’ commitment to excellence in journalism and offering its readers the best coverage of the UAE and the region,” said Abdul Hamid Ahmad, Publishing Director and Editor in Chief of the newspaper. Gulf News had invested in a new printing press, which was specially designed to produce the new Berliner size. The new

KBA Cortina 4/1 waterless, double-width, press, is capable of printing 80,000 copies per hour, and it is accompanied by a new Ferag mail room where the different sections are collated, and inserted into the package, before being poly-bagged. This press is the first KBA waterless press in the Middle East. All other 18 presses installed are in Europe. The press will be capable of printing 112 full colour broadsheet pages including 32 heatset pages. The main feature of the Cortina press is its waterless technology. Conventional presses use water to wash the ink away from the non- image area of the plate. The Cortina does this through the special plate it prints with. Since there is no water, it makes the colour reproduction much more accurate and brighter, since there is no “fan out” across the web, giving much better colour registration. The new printing facility of the newspaper is located in Dubai Investment Park. Managing Director of Gulf News, Obaid Humaid Al Tayer says: “The innovative KBA Cortina underscores our acknowledged role as technological pioneers in the

Middle East. The configuration we have chosen, with four dryers, will allow us to print an exceptionally broad spectrum of coldset, heatset and hybrid products with no time-consuming changes of ink. This awesome flexibility is only possible with the waterless Cortina. On top of this the press’s advanced technology will enable us to enhance the print quality both of our main title, Gulf News, and of all our many supplements and magazines, while simultaneously trimming make-ready times, waste and manning levels.” “This huge initiative involved equally huge investments in state-of-the-art technology to create the most modern and vibrant news package of the region for both our readers and advertisers,” said Duleep George, Executive Director Marketing & Sales, Al Nisr Publishing LLC, the publishers of Gulf News. “The change is twofold: The reader gets a paper that is easier to handle and navigate, and more content driven. The advertiser gets a more effective medium that offers greater impact and more visibility for his product or service,” George added.

UAE: Heidelberg ME Claims Success at drupa The company figures a sales of around 35 million Euros

ME Printer July 2012

Mazen Wafic El Tibi, Deputy General Manager and Sales & Marketing Director of Heidelberg Middle East

Mazen Wafic El Tibi- Deputy General Manager and Sales & Marketing Director of Heidelberg Middle East – in an interview with ME Printer discussed the latest trends witnessed at drupa and about their share of success during the fourteen day event. Heidelberg introduced a range of new and existing technologies at drupa, which of them was more in demand among regional printers? For the Middle East region – the demand was more for sheetfed presses. Our focus at drupa was on sheetfed offset, enhancements on equipments, and packaging. Heidelberg’s decision to move in to packaging was proven right at drupa; as packaging was the most sought after sector at the show. At the moment, Heidelberg is the leading supplier for the packaging industry. Though there was a lot of buzz about digital printing, it seems to me offset is still very much in demand, what’s your observation? As I have said before, digital is another process. Like flexo, digital has entered a certain niche market, and it will grow within that scope. The print quality of digital is acceptable, but when it comes to high productivity, cost it is still an issue. Till today, digital cannot replace offset in terms of productivity and quality. This is where our interest lies, specifically when we talk about packaging, security printing, and specialty printing. Because when it comes to these areas, people will opt for offset rather than digital. Drupa 2012- How successful was it for Heidelberg Middle East? Heidelberg Middle East received very good response at drupa 2012. We closed many deals, which will be disclosed in the near future. Substantial deals have been signed in the region, both in offset and flexo business. We had very good business from UAE and also Saudi Arabia. Basically I would say that our efforts have paid off. Did you expect such strong results?

We had our own doubts, because we didn’t expect such high numbers in view of the slow moving economy. The availability of funds from banks was also a reason for doubt. Today, banks are taking a long time to take decisions and to release finance for projects. But to my surprise, the results were tremendous and I have to say that the team effort has really paid off. Heidelberg Middle East made deals worth 35 million Euros in the region during drupa 2012. How did people react to the new SX press range at drupa? We had many enquiries for the SX -52 and the 102 size. However both XL and CD are still very popular. The CD range is known to be a reliable machine amongst printers. CD is a very flexible machine, it can be used both for commercial as well as packaging jobs. The latest CX version is a cross between XL and CD series. The new machine has the best of both presses put together. Apart from UAE and KSA, which are the other strong markets in the region, where you see real potential? The markets in the Middle East region are growing steadily, but there are no major changes happening. Oman is a good market, but again it is limited in the number of printers. And they have their own customer base. So, that basically limits the possibility of expansion. How were sales at drupa for Heidelberg in general? After drupa, Bernhard Schreier had observed that the results were above the company’s expectation. I think that Heidelberg global had also experienced the same results, as we. As I have said before, recession is a state of mind. So either you have to close down or you have to continue. If a machine needs to be changed, you have to change it; you cannot just sit down and stay still. And I think that at drupa, this has happened. People have realized that it’s time to move forward. Do you agree that this drupa,

the quality of visitors were high? Yes, it’s absolutely true. We were sitting down with customers for finalizing the deals, and not just having a casual chat. All decision makers were there and the decision was taken after the second or third visit. Was there any interest for Heidelberg’s digital side – the Linoprint? From our region, people were mainly interested in the Anicolor. But there were no serious prospects that came up. It is a very good solution, when it comes to a combination between digital and offset. For somebody, who wants to start with digital, they can go with Anicolor. They can either opt for Anicolor 52 or the 74, which will give them flexibility in production and the ability to meet the demands of digital. The Anicolor B2 press is already launched; do you think that there will be a B1 version in the near future? When we launched the first Anicolor- 52 size, we were already looking at producing the 74 size. I knew that there would be a 74, but I didn’t know, how long it will take to materialize. Because it has to go through many trial runs, R & D and approvals and quality gates before entering the market. The technology is there, so I don’t see why there should be a limitation for the size. What about your label solutions in digital printing? In the Middle East, we have not sold them yet. It’s obvious that the label industry is booming. Our solution is ideal for pharmaceutical labelling, although it can cater to other industries as well. Do you have an estimate about how many people from Middle East visited Heidelberg hall at drupa? The most important people, who were supposed to come, were there, and they have placed their orders. Although, now it’s a lull after drupa, our appetite for spreading into the market is still very high.

UAE: UCF Expands Operations With an EFI Rastek H652 UV printer The entry-level printer offers quality at an affordable price

ME Printer July 2012

Digital signage is the trend now, but it is not yet widely accepted by the market Bino Jacob, Manager, United Color Film

United Color Film expanded their flatbed applications with the recent installation of an EFI Rastek H652 UV combo printer. Installed at their Ghusais office in Dubai, the printer would be used to do niche print applications, as well as regular print jobs. Bino Jacob, Manager of UCF explained to ME Printer about the recent installation and the trends in general. “The Rastek that we have here is not a high end machine. This is a 1.6 m wide UV printer machine. The machine delivers high quality and has a white ink printing capability. High end machines in this category are very fast, with options for two white inks, but they are very pricy.” Bino said, “The Rastek was bought with the intention to test the market. The machine has been in operation for 2 months now and we have already printed on material like acrylic and glass. I consider this as a niche product, and not just another banner printer.” “UCF has been in the market for four decades now. With head office in Ajman, we were the first company to start printing on Kodak films. During 1994-95, we moved into large format printing with 3M Scotchprint. We are the official converters of 3M. Apart from the office in Ajman and Dubai, we have a branch in Abu

Dhabi as well.” The equipments in operation at UCF include a 5m VUTEk, a 2.5 m Roland, HP machine for indoor printing etc. Talking about the range of business done by UCF, he said, “At UCF we do large format printing, fleet graphics, banners and print promotional material for banks and other customers. UCF mostly deals with agencies for business.” Observing the recent market trends, Bino said that in future they would invest in HP latex printers, as more and more customers prefer printing on latex machines. “When customers compare the samples of latex and solvent, they often opt for the latex prints. Solvent can never match the quality offered by latex. As more and more clients now demand this quality, we prefer to print on latex now.” With a printed output of 4000 meters per month, UCF does both indoor and outdoor printing. “At UCF, we are more into quality printing. Our focus is to give better service to our clients. We have a team of 30 applicators alone and it’s purely B2B and corporate clients that we are focusing on.” Bino opined that the demand for flatbed applications are on the rise, and there are more inquires coming up nowadays. “Though there is a market for flatbed applications, however for it to

go mainstream printers need to shift from conventional printing methods to direct printing technologies. Customers might still prefer doing screen printing, etching and the sort, but it is up to printers to educate them and convince them on the benefits of flatbed applications.” Commenting on the revenue side, he said, “Rastek is ideal for many applications. Other than banners there are a myriad of ideas than you can materialize with Rastek.. To get more business, we are approaching interior designers, consultants, to whom we submit our samples and work according to their specifications.” When asked about the competition posed by offset printers, who are entering large format printing arena, Bino said, “Digital printing has many advantages, especially in our line of work. Consider HP, it’s like a plug and play machine. You don’t need a big set up to run the machine. Our plan is to acquire more of such machines. However Printing is not just about machines, it is also about the service behind it. I agree that offset printers are also trying to get a piece of action. But we can offer much more in terms of service and expertise. Because this is our turf.“ Moving with the trend, UCF thinks that green options are ruling the market. “We are definitely moving into latex printing. That’s the current trend and is eco-friendly too. We receive lot of orders for wall claddings and coverings, which has to be green and solvent free. With governments too opting for solvent free prints, I think that solvent will phase out very soon. ” He added, “Digital signage is the trend now, but it is not yet widely accepted by the market. Outdoor printing is still very much in demand.” United Color Films is part of the Al Murad Group, which owns Emirates Photo Marketing, Channel 4 FM stations and other groups.

Syria: Currency Notes Printed to Overcome Deficit The notes printed in Russia is circulated in Damascus and Aleppo Syria prints new banknotes to cover its fiscal deficit. According to Reuters, the banknotes that were printed in Russia were first circulated in the Syrian capital - Damascus and in Aleppo. The report further clarifies that the new notes would be used to replace worn out currency and to ensure that salaries and other government expenses were paid. Four Damascus-based bankers told Reuters that new banknotes printed in Russia were circulating in trial amounts in the capital and Aleppo, the first such step since a popular revolt against President Bashar Al Assad began in 2011. As per the sources, the new notes were being used not just to replace worn out currency but to ensure that salaries and other government expenses were paid; a step economists say could increase inflation and worsen the economic crisis. The four bankers, along with one business leader in touch with offi-

cials, said the new money had been printed in Russia, although they were not able to give the name of the firm that printed it. Two of the bankers said they had spoken to officials recently returned from Moscow where the issue was discussed. “(The Russians) sent sample new banknotes that were approved and the first order has been delivered. I understand some new banknotes have been injected into the market,” said one of the bankers. All requested anonymity. Two other senior bankers in Damascus said they had heard from officials that a first order of an undisclosed amount of new currency had arrived in Syria from Russia, although they were unable to confirm whether it had entered circulation. Outgoing Finance Minister Mohammad Al Jleilati said last week that Syria had discussed printing banknotes with Russian officials during economic talks at the end of

May in Moscow. He said such a deal was “almost done”, without going into details. However, the central bank later denied through state media that any new currency had been circulated. Goznak, the state firm that operates Russia’s mint and has exclusive rights to secure printing technology, regularly prints money for other countries. It declined to comment.

During the conference she addressed the audience and said that there must be a balance achieved between the digital and traditional publishing mediums. Her presentation touched on a number of important issues that are currently affecting the children’s publishing sector, including the impact of the Internet and the rapid increase in the use of technology, such as electronic reading devices in the Arab world. She also talked about the possible

influence this technological leap is having on children’s fast changing reading habits, and whether or not publishing houses in the region are keeping up the these advances and creating sufficient Arabic content to meet the demand. Sheikha Bodour posed the question of whether or not printed books were still the preferred medium for books, or if digital books were in the process of taking over. She also examined the socio-political issues, which affect distribution and printing in the region and explored possible ways that digital books could overcome these obstacles. She also discussed the role of technology in the classroom and need for school curriculums to evolve and keep up with international trends.

If the number of seconds in a month (60 seconds x 60 minutes x 24hours x 30 days = 2,592,000 seconds) is multiplied by USD 500, the total amounts to approximately USD 1.3 Billion for the month long fly time for the billboard.

UAE: Canon Opens First B2B Showroom in ME

ME Printer July 2012

The centre targets B2B and professional print business clients

I think that there is enough room for us and our competitors to grow in this particular print segment Hendrik Verbrugghe, Marketing Director of Canon Middle East FZ LLC

Canon Middle East opened its first regional business solutions showroom in Dubai. The opening represents a move by the company to consolidate market share of the Middle East and North African print industry, which is expected to grow to USD 11 billion by 2015. The new showroom will display

end-to-end business solutions such as large format printers (LFP), document and imaging management systems (DIMS) as well as its industry-leading range of office and professional printers. A strong line up of the Océ DP Line range are also on display at the showroom. Detailing the purpose of the showroom, Hendrik Verbrugghe, Marketing Director of Canon Middle East FZ LLC said, “The products that are displayed here are application based models. Earlier we weren’t able to show solutions from our partners like Duplo or Pitney Bowes. But with the opening of the centre, we can display A to Z of our products and solutions.” Hendrik detailed that the B2B showroom will fulfil the purpose of a demo and training centre.

He opined that the new showroom will provide customers and partners much awareness about the copier and professional print business aspect of Canon. Explaining their strategy for the MENA region, he said, “We are setting up a detailed structural platform in certain countries, which would help us to sell professional print products. The print business of Canon is just 4 to 5 years old compared to the Camera business. So, as a first step we are developing our partners, and during that process developing the business.” Explaining that they always are on track of the latest trends in the industry and are not hesitant to adopt them, he observed, “I think that there is enough room for us and our competitors to grow in this particular print segment.”

Switzerland: Breaker Flat Track Debuts at BOBST Open House

ME Printer July 2012

The peripheral maximizes performance of existing and new lines of die-cutters

In the month of May, BOBST hosted an Open House event at its Mex Switzerland facility. The event showcased the benefits of the Breaker Flat Track, a compact layer management peripheral for flat bed corrugated die-cutters. Visitors from all over Europe,

North Africa, Middle East and North America expressed their keen interest in the device. The compact form of the Breaker Flat Track optimizes production floor space without reducing the productivity of conversion lines. BOBST claims that the device can safely transport and arrange bundles of blanks as small as 150 mm x 150 mm. Flat Track sets new standards for ergonomics and versatility, offering users the ability to maximize the performance per square meter of floor space of both new and existing lines. While conventional breakers can separate die-cutter output and, in some cases, arrange batches, the new Flat Track Breaker forms complex layers ready for palletization, allowing users to totally

automate the process. The new Breaker flat Track occupies half the size of existing breakers and layer management systems, and frees up considerable amount of floor space. It also forms layers in a programmed routine, without affecting the performance of the Autoplaten® die-cutter. Sylvain Rebet, Product Marketing Director - Corrugated Board, Bobst said “When it comes to making sure that finished products meet end user expectations, the layer arrangement of die-cut products has become increasingly important, especially as brand owners now demand ever more complex box styles. The BREAKER FLAT TRACK is designed to give box makers an intelligent unit that automates this process.”

TECHNOTRANS PROVIDES COST EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS TO PRINTERS

ME Printer July July2012 2012

Filtration systems of the company sees high movement in the ME region

Participating for the seventh time, technotrans offered a diverse range of products at their stand in drupa 2012. Presenting their solutions under the slogan, ‘Blue Check – profitable print’, the company was focused on providing cost effective solutions to printers. Talking to ME Printer Magazine about the show and their participation, Niels Siegel, Managing Director, Technotrans Middle East said, “This drupa, we

have brought a lot of new products. One of them is the spinclean.d filtration system for the commercial web offset.” He explained that the new filtration system is quite cost effective compared to the earlier version, which was priced at Euro 45,000. “Now we are offering much simpler and cost effective solutions. The filtration system enables a clean dampening solution cycle (as the water in commercial presses gets contaminated by the inks and the chemicals) and therefore minimizes the need to frequently clean the printing press.” He later demonstrated the latest version of pumps developed by the company, which he said is built into their coating supply systems. “More and more customers are printing this special type of coats, and this explains why we need to be special regarding the quality of the

in various print houses. So far at drupa, we have sold four units, one to Kenya, two to Jordan, and one to Lebanon. These units come with a new UV degeneration system, which ensures that all bacteria or algae are removed out of the system. It also improves print quality. We are also supplying cooling systems for digital presses, and also for laser technology enabled devices. Technotrans is also supplying the cooling system for Heidelberg CtP devices.” Niels detailed that

The most moving unit in the Middle East is the beta.f filtration systems. So far at drupa we have sold four units Niels Siegel, Managing Director, Technotrans Middle East

Technotrans is now offering solutions for varied sectors. “We are now offering solution to the medical equipment industry, cooling systems for fire fighters etc. The sigma.line cooling system of Technotrans can be used in varied operations. It can be used in presses, and even in hospital equipments.”

FUJIFILM LAUNCHES INKJET DIGITAL PRINTER FOR PACKAGING

The company sees an increase in market for packaging printing applications Unveiling a range of inkjet and digital presses under the banner ‘Power to Succeed’, Fujifilm displayed some of its latest machines and solutions at drupa 2012. In the Package Print Zone, they had on display their new B2 digital inkjet press and its new FLENEX DLE CTP system. They also demonstrated the UVivid range of inks and its benefits. In the Commercial Print Zone, Fujifilm displayed the Jet Press 720 B2 inkjet press; along with the latest Xerox SRA3 toner based digital presses. They also demonstrated the new Brillia HD PRO- T3 and lo-chem plate production solutions. On the solution side, they showcased the XMF workflow and production management suite. At the Wide Format Print Zone were the Inca Onset S40i and the Inca Onset S40 machines and the new Acuity LED 1600 hybrid printer, along with other roll fed

coatings. Here, you can see both low viscosity coatings and very high viscosity coatings coming out of the same pump. These pumps are very economical and have a long life.” Talking about their range of water treatment systems, Niels said, “Technotrans is now one of the most efficient suppliers of water treatment systems. Our systems ensure that the water is absolutely clean, and there are no bacteria or any chemical residue in the water.” He said that they had recently entered into cooperation with the company Merlin, which supplies Humidifying systems to Technotrans. While introducing their new ink dispensing system-ink.line-, Niels said, “The fully automatic ink supply system ensures minimal filling levels in the ink ducts, and ink is added only in those places where it is actually required. This helps in reducing ink loss.” He said that the new ink dispensing system is ideal for packaging printers and for ink suppliers. “Currently we are supplying ink dispensing systems for flexo and offset machines.” Niels observed that more and more customers now prefer to print with UV inks. “UV inks are used in packaging and sometimes in newspaper printing. Technotrans offers perfect solution in UV inks and our UV ink enabled system is already running in four different places in the industry.” Explaining more on the UV ink systems, he said, “UV inks are very sensitive. If you apply more pressure when using UV inks, polymerization happens, which leads to the drying up of ink. In normal presses, the ink pressure is applied at 60 bars, but in Technotrans machines, it comes up at 20 to 30 bar pressure.” He added, “You can see that still many customers are using manual ink filling, but it is not economical anymore and there is a lot of ink wastage during the process. So, by using an ink dispensing system, you ensure efficiency, plus they are cost efficient too.” Also on display was the spray dampening system from Technotrans, called deltaspray.line. Niels explained that the spray dampening units are an important part of web offset printing presses and determines the quality of the printed output. He also detailed about the cooling systems used in sheetfed presses that enables the customer to save up to 30 to 35% of energy cost per year. While talking about the company’s activities in the Middle East region and about drupa, Niels said, “The most moving unit in the Middle East is the beta.f filtration systems. We have installed it

printers. They also launched during drupa, the latest range of Uvistar machine – the Uvistar Pro8 super wide format printer. Talking to ME Printer Magazine, Graham Lesson, Marketing Communications Manager of Fujifilm, explained about their new Jet Press machines and about their entry into the B2 digital inkjet market. “The Jet Press 720 inkjet digital press is now commercially available in the market. Along with the machine, we have also launched a new B2 inkjet digital press for folding carton applications and packaging.” He explained that the new B2 digital press is mainly designed for short-run folding carton package printing applications. He added, “The new press has many similar features of the Jet Press 720. It uses the same SAMBA printhead, and the paper path is also similar. The primary difference is that is uses a water based UV ink. This UV ink called VIVIDIA will help to produce high quality images and is also suitable for printing on higher grammage of papers and for different post press operations. The UV curing element in the machine is ideal for packaging options.” Graham justified their decision of launching a commercial machine. “We believe that the original Jet Press will have plenty of applications in the sheetfed market, as well as its commercial version. They are different, both in application and market wise. ” Graham explained that the new packaging machine can print on a paper width of 300-600 gsm, and is a four colour machine. “One of the advantages of Jet Press is that it has a wider colour gamut. The machine comes with an optional UV inline coater and also has an infra red drying unit and a UV drying element.” He added, “The B2 digital press for packaging purposes would be more suitable for short-run applications. We believe that there is a market for short-run packaging applications. The machine will be commercially launched by early 2013, and the price would be similar to the sheetfed Jet Press machine.”

When asked about the entry of other companies into the B2 market, Graham opined, “It’s encouraging that many companies are entering this space. We have worked during the last four years, since last drupa to commercialize this project.” He confirmed that they will be supplying both inks and the ink heads. “Developing the inks to match the right heads and to make sure that the performance is commercially reliable is more important to us.” Explaining their range of wide format flat bed machines, he said, “The Inca Onset S40 is the first Fujifilm branded machine to be rolled out in the Asian market. At drupa, we have introduced the latest version – Inca Onset S40i, which will be commercially available before the end of this year.” Concluding his talk, he said that Fujifilm is considering about introducing finishing options, which at initial stages will be slotted into existing environments. He said that in future, they will have a better solution for their finishing line.

KONICA MINOLTA INTRODUCES KM-1 INKJET PRESS The new machine aims short-run applications

Konica Minolta recorded a 30 % increase in visitor turnout during drupa 2012. The major attractions at the company’s stand was the new digital B2 size inkjet press KM-1 and the bizhub PRESS C1100. Explaining their product range to ME Printer Magazine, Katsuhisa Ida, Senior Manager, Business Development Division said, “The new inkjet press, KM-1 is designed for the commercial print market. This B2 size machine has a speed of about 3,300 sheets per hour and has a resolution of up to 1200 x 1200 dpi. The machine delivers high productivity and quality.” The KM-1 is developed together by Konica Mi-

nolta and Komori. Katsuhisa added, “The heads of the machine are developed by Konica Minolta, while the transportation area in the machine is developed by Komori.” He said that the machine mainly targets the commercial print market that includes the printing of brochures, catalogues, posters and the like. With a capability to print on paper thickness of about 0.6 millimeter, the machine is suitable

for folding carton operations. He added that the company has plans to upgrade to a 6 colour machine in the future. The machine uses UV inks and can print on coated, non-coated and art paper without any special treatment before and after printing. UV LED curing system in the press enables to shorten the overall production time. Observing the market trends worldwide, Katsuhisa said, “We can see that though the total number of printing is going down, technology is going on an upscale.” At the show, Konica Minolta demonstrated their latest innovations in hardware, applications and integrated solutions. Their developments in packaging, inline pressure seal mailing and transpromotional workflows drew interest.

It uses motion control technology for maximum product quality over a range of sizes. The company also demonstrated the new Ventura MC compact book Sewing Machine, the Presto II saddle stitcher, the VSOP web printing press and the fully integrated Sigma Line solution. Expressing his views on drupa 2012, Bruno Muller, CEO of Muller Martini said, “I am very satisfied with the company’s performance at the drupa stand and with our exhibits. We have welcomed visitors from all around the world, and their feedback has been very positive.” Pointing out to the key topics discussed at this drupa, he said, “This time, exhibitors were mainly showing print products that had an edge over the digital media. That is why the discussions that were held were all about today’s market requirements. The focus this time was less on individual machines and more on complete systems. I have also noticed that many customers were looking for solutions that would benefit them in the long run. Our customers are seeking investment security in an environment that is experiencing rapid changes.” Measuring the success of the show, he said, “We made sales on all continents, as well as in emerging markets like Brazil, and China in particular. However, we could see customers from North America and Europe investing in our solutions. We are also pleased to see that our MMServices modules have gone down well with customers. Many customers have spontaneously decided to purchase a service package at our stand.”

UNDER THE LENS DIGITAL DRUPA –

THE LENS NOISE FOR NOTHING? Rod Hayes takes a close look at the digital offerings of drupa 2012 and examines its viability in the long run

ME Printer July July2012 2012

Rod Hayes Technical Editor

It may be hard to believe, but digital printing in a form recognisable today has a history going back almost 30 years, when Apple launched a computer with a Graphical User Interface (GUI) and EFI and Linotype opened the door to the masses with the launch of practical raster image processors (RIPs). These developments spelt the end of high end (and often very expensive) photo-typesetting systems along with galley and repro cameras. Yet printing is still primarily dominated by offset with gravure and flexo still holding significant market share. Xerox has for as long as most can remember been wrongly predicting that digital will dominate the production of print within a few short years. At best, digital printing whether toner or ink jet based, has carved out a sector primarily described as transactional and trans-promo. Surely this raises the question: “Why, after 30 years, are we seeing at Drupa 2012, the production of digitally produced printing images scarcely out of Beta site testing?” One can almost hear the clatter of the hooves of irate digital machine manufacturers as they beat a path to the door of someone who could make such an outrageous statement, and at the same time baying for metaphorical blood. Yet the statement isn’t outrageous, what is outrageous is any indignation roused. Digitally produced print plays a major and at times a pivotal role in a modern society but it is important

to recognise the way that print arrived, which is pivotal, not the print itself. Bank statements, business data production output, some elements of personalised direct mail are areas where digital printing excels, yet almost all this type of data can be obtained via the Internet and email and all users of transactional and transpromo printing are constantly encouraging its client base to do just that. How often have you heard: “Have your utilities bills emailed and save 100 Dirhams per year” or something similar. Book a flight for a holiday break and the first thing almost everyone these days do, is to go online and check prices of flights, accommodation and destinations. This is in part why Digital has never really made inroads in to the brochure printing market. A good example is the way almost all promotional material designed to entice the take up of cruise offers is printed offset; the only personalisation is in the toner printed covering letter and the production of the ticket data. This is in spite of the fact that most people who go cruising have done so many times, and a considerable wealth of data relative to their taste and requirements are easily compiled. This example raises another question: why has full personalisation, long heralded by Xerox and Canon and others as the future of print has genuinely failed to make an impact? The answer is simple and can be found in the

in the sheet affecting the quality of the print is one factor, the frame of the press may need further strengthening is another and while one could go on, there is no doubting about the quality of the print in controlled print trials. The challenges of scaling up to commercial levels are still some way off. The law of Physics is kicking in, so is it time to question the future of digital printing as it is presently perceived? In some ways digital gives the impression of a dog walking on its hind legs, the question is not whether the dog can do it, but why should he bother. It is perhaps unfair to single out HP in particular. Both Screen and FujiFilm for example are close to launching commercially B2 sheetfed digital machines. Ricoh Kodak, Canon along with its wholly owned subsidiary Océ all have a diverse range of offerings, which have a market share worth chasing, but the scale of these offerings are of course quite different to the HP web Colour InkJet machines, which is more in the style of the Indigo. Certainly there are similar areas of functionality and productivity, i.e. capable of printing around 2700 B2 sheets per hour. The quality of the print

is superb, almost impossible to distinguish from offset, yet the window of profitability is quite narrow. As a printer would you buy a press that will set you back $2m and in an hour can only print 2,500 impressions on one side of a B2 sheet? Let’s put a little perspective on this scenario. In the same time you get 2,500 impressions digitally (each one different) you could have 15,000 B2 sheets backed up (all the same) on a machine that costs 25-30% less. Now do the sums: for each hour spent producing digital work, a printer will need to charge more than fifteen times what he charges for that produced on offset.

way costs and benefits struggle to add up except in very narrow and closely defined areas. There is another reason and one that brings in to the whole question of digital’s viability and this reason will be pursued shortly; the role the laws of physics plays in the way digital is produced. One who has an awareness of these two complementary factors when working in the digital sector is Klaus Schmidt, Vice-President marketing at the giant German press manufacturer, KBA. He says: “The biggest problem when printing digital is the cost of the ink and this is regardless of the length of runs.” He went on to explain that when ink coverage exceeds 15% on a square metre approach, the costs of digital ink begins to soar. Not only is there the cost of sealing the stock, another problem is the amount of water the printing system introduces. This has to be removed bringing with it a considerable energy cost. Also the stock used must have the ability to cope with such punishment. None of which is a significant problem for transactional printing such as utility billings and this is a sector in which digital excels and KBA’s newly launched RotaJET 76 has the potential here to win a commercial market share. Introducing modest levels of spot and process colours is no problem, but to take colour levels up to a point where the digital print is commercially attractive is at present not particularly attractive and this is such an important issue Hewlett Packard are having to address. Meg Whitman HP’s new CEO claims HP is top heavy in staff and is about to sack close on 10% of its workforce, some 27,000 people. But why is it top heavy? Digital printing and related data management in its various forms is HP’s business, but it is not making money; over US$1 billion has been spent on developing its T series Colour Inkjet web press and she is making some curious bets on HP’s future. Support is to continue on the 72-footlong digital printing press that cost $1-2 million each, staying in the highly competitive desktop and short-run printers where ink purchasing is at the whim of consumers. She is in effect betting on a machine that is targeted at commercial printers, who churn out books, direct mail and catalogues and high quality high speed variable data printing. Is it wise? Well, the success of installed beta T machines is mixed, problems with excess moisture

A CROSS CHECK ON NANOGRAPHIC PRINTING

Even with two brains, it would be difficult to get sums such as these to add up; the factor in the high cost of inks, the way the demand for high quality variable data has never been all that robust because of cost/return ratios ( if anything, demand is more probably in decline). It would be a brave decision to invest in a B2 digital press. These B2 machines have been in development for about the same time as HP’s ColorJet press (around 10 years) and have yet to make a return. Could or even should the plug be pulled on such developments? Printers are not good marketers of their skills, would it make sense for a group of printers buy such a press and pool its production across the group? This idea and others were put to Steve Cookman, FujiFilm UK’s inkjet product manager, who was asked: whether he could see his company helping printers to market production from his presses, or marketing the presses to printers in the way GE and Rolls Royce sells jet engines- and in the same way sell machine time because of the huge capital investment relative to productivity. He says: “There is a great interest in the Jet Press 720 and we couldn’t see ourselves supporting any investment where we could have our own customers competing with each other.” In other words a printer is on his own when it comes to finding a market for an Investment of nearly $2m. Hardly confidence building, perhaps digital machine producers may well be the ones who are on their own rather than the printer.

When someone catches the limelight in the way Benny Landa has done at this year’s drupa, many pundits will feel wafts of cynicism sweeping over themselves. For this is the third time that he has come up with ideas or concepts, which he claims are going to wreak monumental changes to the way that ideas will be communicated. There is something of the showboat about Benny, but is he a one tricky pony or one of the sharpest and cleverest thinkers in the printing industry of modern age? He has had one hit, (Indigo or E-print 1000) and its commercial success was secured only after a hard fought battle – clinched at the bell by Hewlett Packard. He had one duff shot (a type of digital imaging capture system) and now, a third effort to try and change the world of print with the announcement of a new development, which he describes as a ‘Nanographic’ digital printing process. There is no doubt his presence and the equipment on his stand at the show was mesmerising, and his approach to bringing his latest development to the market is distinctly different to the way the Indigo was launched. It is the ink that is at the heart of his project and his goal is to license others to use the ink, which he would supply along with technical expertise. To get on the band wagon, a prospective licensee is being called up to sign a letter of interest and then if they wish to proceed further, they must stump up a significant lump of cash. Nothing wrong with that approach and Mr. Benny says he has had hundreds of declarations of interest, but at this stage only a few, who have solidified their interest with a cash deposit. The revamped manroland is believed to be one. As mentioned earlier in this article, there does seem to be a need to change the way digital printing functions when more than 11-15% coverage is required and when runs exceed a

by using single latex molecules suspended in a water solution and by passing a controlled electrical current through the solution charged toner, which is migrated to the latex in a direct relationship to the current used. The Xerox results produced excellent colour and this goes to the nub of Mr. Benny’s claims. The toner particles produced had a comparatively large surface area relative to its thickness, which suggests, the issue that affects a pigment’s ability to efficiently reflect light is really down not so much the size of the particle, but its ability to reflect light, its thickness, opacity and shape. There is little doubt that it is in this area where Mr Benny’s claims will be tested for credibility. Why a 500 nanometre particle that has been melted, reflects light more efficiently than a pigment with a much larger area, needs to be explored comprehensively. For, it is the gap between the pigments and the nature of the ambient light in the viewing area, which makes a major effect on the effectiveness of the light reflected. If something that is much smaller does the same job as its bigger counterpart, then it stands to reason that it will be cheaper. Mr Benny is on good grounds when he claims that lots of materials will develop new properties and lose old ones when subjected to intense heat and electrical charges. (Like super conductivity, increased polarity- it’s important if the pigments are organic). Whether this really happens is up for debate. Perhaps the most telling benefit that will flow from nanotechnology is the way the pigment suspended as it is in water solution gets to the paper, by using a ‘thermal belt’( to paraphrase Mr Benny). Water in the paper whether by offset or ink jet is vexatious and to drive it out before it gets to the paper is surely something Mitsubishi and Toray know a lot about, thanks to its waterless plates.

couple of thousand. Not surprising, it seems several developments are floating around in the wings. Several patents registered in Australia, covering liquid inks are promising and these patents are now in the public domain and seem to be the background to the announcement of Trillium by Xeikon. It is claimed by Xeikon that this process will deliver at low cost with high quality on long run digital and will be environment friendly. Getting back to Mr Benny’s Nano technology, the word nano comes from the Greek language, which means Dwarf; and a nanometre is one thousand-millionth of a metre. To put a bit of perspective on this, a human hair is around 100,000 nanometres thick and Mr Benny claims he has developed a system that uses a mix of thermal and electromagnetic forces to reduce the pigment particle to the size of 500 nanometres. The particles are now in his words: “sub-primary particles”. A competition should be run to find the best explanation of quite what that means. Also when I chatted with him he described the particles as being powerful absorbers of light and I thought at the time this was a slip, but he repeated this comment in an interview with Andy Tribute The point about pigments is that they reflect, and do not absorb light and they do so in very specific wave bands within the colour spectrum. Also, it is known that the smoother the surface and the thinner the pigment particle, the more light is reflected back. Xerox and Fuji realised this and developed chemical toners some years back, when the ability to grind toner down to a small particle size had peaked. Xerox found just as Mr. Benny says: “It is quite difficult to break big particles down and a great deal of energy is used,” and so Xerox went the other way and grew toner particles from a molecular base

Technology Electrostatic Print Assist Systems

ELECTROSTATIC SYSTEMS CHARGE AND DISCHARGE

Thomas Litterst, Senior Head of Marketing & Communication at Eltex explains the principles of electrostatics and how electrostatic print assist systems can improve printing technology - Part One

ME Printer July 2012

When processing materials which have insulating properties â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like paper, textiles, glass, chemicals or synthetics â&#x20AC;&#x201C; electrostatic build up is almost inevitable. In most cases it is generated when processing the materials (e.g. combining, separating, bonding, welding, pressing). Lightweight materials with high insulating values often raise almost unsolvable problems. Therefore, in the plastics industries almost nothing works without an in-depth knowledge of electrostatics. However, it is not only the materials which generate electrostatic charges but also the kinetic energy applied to set them in motion. As a rule of thumb, the higher the speed the higher is the charge. In contemporary manufacturing environments determined by high performance and cost pressure ever

larger amounts of materials must be handled at ever higher speed. As a consequence faults and dangers caused by electrostatic charges rise accordingly. An example of such a fault is the electrostatic attraction of materials. This attraction is an annoying effect of electrostatic charging, which must be removed in a controlled way before it causes damage. However, this physical phenomenon also offers creative, innovative and productive potential when following its rules. For example, Eltex ESA (electrostatic print assist) systems for gravure printing are installed worldwide in more than 6000 printing units. Applying targeted charging results in improved ink transfer and the reduction of missing dots. (Eltex is one of the leading suppliers worldwide of such devices.)

EXAMINING UNCONTROLLED CHARGING The impact of energy on the boundary layers of physical bodies may disturb the electron balance, which results in electrostatic charging. This excess or lower amount of negative charged electrons attempts to balance out: this means discharging. Electrostatic systems keep such phenomenon under control and use charging/discharging processes in a useful way. Electrostatic processes are fuelled by the smallest elements of matter: atoms and electrons. Prior to charging the number of positively charged protons in the nucleus and the number of negatively charged electrons in the shell is the same. Therefore, the atom is in a state of electronic neutrality (figure 1).

Figure 1(left): Electrostatic processes are fuelled by the smallest elements of matter, which are atoms and electrons. Figure 3(right): In the case where the number of negatively charged electrons exceed the number of positively charged protons the atom in general is negatively charged

If the number of electrons is lower than that of the protons, the atom is charged positively. One of the bodies involved in this move must be a capacitor, which is an isolated body capable of electrostatic charging and discharging respectively. For example, this could be a running film web (figure 2). When the electrons skip from the one body to the other caused by processes like the contact and subsequent sudden separation of the boundary layers of two bodies, this unbalances the neutral condition and is called charging. In the case where the number of negatively charged electrons exceeds the number of positively charged protons the atom in general is negatively charged (figure 3).

Therefore, the system offers outstanding discharge options with slitter rewinders. Integrated into the electrode, the powerful highvoltage generator is capable of compensating even large

Despite this impressive performance capability the RX3 Ionstar discharge electrode is fully contact-proof and even in the on mode there is no danger to the life or health of people (figure 5). To achieve optimum discharge effects during the reel winding, its diameter, frequency and duty factor have to be continually adjusted. Uniquely the RX3 Ionstar performs this fully automatic by ultrasonic distance measurement, whereas other systems require continual re-adjustment.

The ever faster industrial production processes require a maximum of reliability with the discharging of static electricity as a key factor. High running speeds of the increasingly compact machines present the discharging systems with steadily increasing challenges and conventional systems often fail. For example, the mechanical construction of a machine might not facilitate the installation of the discharging components at the desired position. Therefore it is crucial, that discharging is also operational over larger distances. Eltex calls this a depth-effect on high-speed applications, which defines the unique characteristics and advantages of their discharge technology against comparable systems (figure 4). The Eltex discharge components meet the highest quality requirements and have proven their reliability for decades in day-to-day operations at machine manufacturers and users in many different industry segments. The discharge electrode R50/51 offers a significant higher active discharge performance compared to previous discharge technologies, as insulated ground conductors amplify the electric field at the active

tips and therefore contribute to increased generation and speed of the load carriers. This result in considerably higher amounts of positive ions and free negative electrons compared to conventional electrodes. At the same time the electrodes offer a high passive discharge performance. Decoupled from electric resistance the tips ensure very good

Regional Focus Arab Printing Press- Lebanon

‘CONVENTIONAL

PRINTING TO REMAIN’

ME Printer July 2012

Scanning the regional perspective, we bring you this issue the story of Arab Printing Press. Eli Raphaël, Chairman and General Manager of the press chalk out the journey so far and the trends in the printing arena.

Arab Printing Press, established in 1968, is a family venture. What started as a 400 square meter facility, with 3 employees, has now become a 5500 square meter printing press. Eli Raphaël, Chairman and General Manager of Arab Printing Press (APP) explained further about the company, “We are one of the biggest printing houses in Lebanon and we currently do jobs for other Arab countries, Europe and also Africa. Our job profile includes printing magazines, text books, brochures, labels, corporate shares, stamps, annual reports etc. We have been in the industry for more than 40 years and all our jobs are done in house, which allows for better quality control, lower cost and quick delivery. Our publications are of high quality and we print around 40 monthly magazines and 5 weekly magazines.” Explaining the factors that determine export quality, he said, “Quality is very essential and Lebanese printers are very quality oriented. Productivity and quick service are also essential. We have high productivity and our service is customer oriented.” The prepress department of APP employs about 24, while Printing employs about 38 and Folding and Binding about 38 people. The other departments like management,

accounting and supervisory positions employs around 30 people. The prepress department includes facilities like typing, copy editing, illustration capabilities, design and layout, colour separation, imposition and CtP plate making. “We use a BasysPrint CtP system with conventional plates as we believe in going green. Thermal plates are not environmental friendly compared to the conventional plates. The technology offered by BasysPrint is also very unique. Today we have a lot of suppliers trying to implement what BasysPrint has implemented. Maybe in the coming years, we will have more suppliers choosing the conventional way.” APP has mainly invested in KBA technology on the printing side. APP is equipped with 2 colour, 4, 5 and 8 colour KBA machines. “In 1999, we decided to opt for KBA machines as the technology they had was far superior. Our postpress department is quite diversified. We have 2 Muller Martini saddle stitching machines with 7 stations, 1 MBO folding machine, 3 Stahl folding machines, one Wohlenberg perfect binding machine with 20 gathering stations, 1 Muller Martini perfect binding machine with 12 gathering stations etc.” Located in the heart of Beirut’s industrial city, the press prints an average of 60,000 square metres of plates per year.

New Picks

Talking on the recent trends in the market, Raphaël observed that spot varnish is used commonly nowadays. “The runs have become shorter, though

Quality is very essential and Lebanese printers are very quality oriented. Productivity and quick service are also essential

it is not as efficient as required by a digital facility. Today, most of the communication is done through internet. Through the website of APP, we provide our customers the option to place quotations, upload files, track their jobs etc. We also have the facility to deliver the job status to the client’s mobile,” informed Raphaël. APP prints around 25 million school books per year. “The text books that we print are either ordered by the government or by the private sector for the government.” He added that in Lebanon there are printers who specialise in packaging, security printing, continuous forms etc. Though APP includes a web printing facility, it doesn’t print newspapers. The press includes a Harris M300 press, which mainly prints magazines and text books. The machine can print 16 pages A4 in full colours at a rate of 35,000 sheets per hour. Raphaël also pointed out that Lebanon doesn’t have many commercial web printing facilities.

The Scenario

ME Printer July 2012

Regarding the printing situation in Lebanon, Raphaël is of the opinion that Lebanon is still the printing hub of Middle East. “The country has tremendous potential. Currently we are focusing on export business because the local Lebanese market is small. As far as the supply of raw materials and consumables is concerned, we have the best and biggest paper distributor and suppliers in Lebanon and basically there is no shortage for paper, ink, plates or other consumables.” He also noted that APP also has a sister company, RAK Paper & Board, which is one of the largest paper distributor in Lebanon. He pointed out that several new magazines are entering the market ever year albeit the market is suffering from declining ad revenues. “Though we had our set of issues, business is going on as usual and the private sector is very strong and has always tried to adapt and surpass all the problems.” Speaking about the job market in the country he said, “Unfortunately, we don’t have enough jobs for everybody graduating from Lebanon. We have lots of issues in finding skilled operators and a major issue is that we don’t have any technical schools in Lebanon. Following the lobbying of the Lebanese Graphic Arts Syndicate with the Ministry of Labor, a new law was passed allowing the printing industry to employ technical foreign operators, which will help in bringing relief to the sector.”
