I hope that it will give confidence to the wider market by showing that suppliers like Fujifilm are still investing in the future of print and bringing innovative and sustainable solutions to the market.” Another returning exhibitor is Konica Minolta Business Solutions, which will display its new AccurioPress C14010S, which offers fifth colour capabilities, which the manufacturer says can produce “spectacular eye-catching results on a broad range of media”.
