Lisa Kaiser Hickey and her husband, Michael Hickey, of Douglass Screen Printers, Inc. (DSP) attended the Print 05 and Converting 05 Trade Show held in Chicago. Douglass Screen Printers is looking to expand their market base by introducing various new products. DSP is also looking to enhance their, already exceptional and capable, machinery with new equipment that will enable DSP to accomplish their envisioned expansion.

The Chicago trade show hosted exhibits by Xerox, Sterling, Gammerler, Ryobi, Epson, and Riso to name a few. The various other exhibits displayed solvent inks, large and wide format printing technology, High Speed UV Dryers, Digital Publishing Solutions literature, Fusing Foils, Foil-Tech Fusers, and Business Management Software solutions. Leaders of the Print 05 and Converting 05 trade show presented significantly expanded editions of two very popular features from their previous shows such as:

• The Mailing & Fulfillment Center which focused on ways companies could add this high-demand, high-value service to their client offerings.
• The Wide Format Pavilion which focused on large and wide format printing technology.

The new features in this year’s trade show were:

• The RFID Pavilion which featured information and demonstrations on using print technologies to produce electronic circuits and radio frequency identification tags.
• The Binding and Finishing Technologies Pavilion which was organized with the Binding Industries of America. In their vision, this would bring together companies with innovations for post press.

This trade show joined regular exhibitors from the United States as well as 800 exhibitors from around the world. Such exhibitors included Accuratech Machine Industries, Bao-Dear Enterprise, Kern AG, Mitsui Chemicals, Plockmatic International AB and Sichuan Juguang Printing Apparatus, to name a few.
