Dubai: Konica Minolta Business Solutions Middle East participated at the inaugural Gulf Print & Pack Summit held in Dubai. Leading organizations from commercial printing and packaging industry were gathered at the Summit to discuss the challenges and opportunities in the region.

The Summit featured two standout panel discussions with industry experts to discuss initiatives for business expansion and how to remain competitive; as well as new technologies to modernize a printing plant and areas for investment.

Nayyar Ansari – Business Development Manager at Konica Minolta Business Solutions Middle East was a presenter at the event, talking about Technical Innovation. He said “in an order to improve turnaround time and achieve accurate results the professional print market is embracing automation and technical innovations that can also significantly reduce the overall costs. He went onto emphasize that Konica Minolta is bringing latest innovative technologies to the market including the award winning “Intelligent Quality Optimizer” that will allow professional printers to achieve automation on the run, colour management, registration, auto printer profile making, as well as auto gamma adjustment and auto density control.

The automation will enable professional printers to achieve substantial tangible and quantifiable benefits such as the cost saving by reducing waste occurring due to the registration and colour issues, improved uptime by eliminating periodical checks, practical shorter turnaround which means more time to accommodate other jobs, lessened chances of human error by removing the requirement of special skills to set up engines. The latest innovative technology from Konica Minolta will transform the industry by offering infinite benefits to professional printers.

Digital printing equipment sales show strong growth in all the regions as printers understand how to capitalize on the opportunities. The adoption of new technologies is necessary for direct mail, transactional and security where variable data is used. It is growing in books, labels and commercial printing, while making inroads into catalogues, magazines and the big opportunity in packaging, he added.”

Gulf Print and Pack summit has reported that there is a worldwide growth in the commercial printing and packing industry and the print revenue growth in the MENA region will rise to $40.7bn in 2022 from $28.3bn in 2017 or annual growth of 8.7%.
