Auf der EFI Connect werden in mehr als 130 Schulungsveranstaltungen die neuesten Tipps und Trends aus allen von EFI unterstützten Sparten vorgestellt. Dazu gehören Veranstaltungen, in denen es um die wachsenden Chancen beim Wandel von analog zu digital unter Anwendung der industriellen Lösungen von EFI für die Bereiche Wellpappe und Verpackung, Textilien und Baustoffe/Dekor geht.
 
Auf der EFI Connect wird auch ein innovatives Druckvorstufenprodukt für Unternehmen im Bereich Werbetechnik vorgestellt. Dabei handelt es sich um die EFI Fiery Prep-it™ Software für die Vorbereitung, das Layout und die automatisierte Produktion von Print-for-Cut-Aufträgen. Diese leistungsstarke und kostensparende Lösung für formgetreue Sammelformen wurde entwickelt, um Produktivitätsanforderungen in Zeiten von anhaltendem Arbeitskräftemangel gerecht zu werden und die Zeit, die für die Verarbeitung komplexer Sammelform-Objekte für Großformat-Drucke benötigt wird, um bis zu 90 % zu reduzieren. Im Vergleich zu Produkten von Mitbewerbern reduziert die Fiery Prep-it Software den Materialverbrauch um mindestens 10 % und trägt so dazu bei, Engpässe bei der Materialversorgung auszugleichen. Dank ihrer Materialeinsparungen kann sich diese erschwingliche, effektive Software in vier Monaten oder weniger amortisieren, was Druckereien hilft, wettbewerbsfähiger zu werden.

This realignment allows EFI to accelerate investment into its Inkjet and Fiery business units to capitalize on the growth opportunities available in existing segments the company serves, as well as drive expansion into markets that are beginning the transformation toward digital.

Industrial Inkjet: Capturing Unprecedented Opportunity
The industrial inkjet space is ripe with opportunity in existing and adjacent vertical markets. EFI Inkjet will continue to drive in high-volume, shuttle and single-pass inkjet technology, which the company has currently implemented in award-winning, high-performance products for the Packaging & Corrugated, Display Graphics, Textile, and Building Materials/Decor verticals. EFI will also leverage its industry-leading expertise in hardware, mechanical control software, high-speed electronics, services, cloud-connected devices, and ink innovations to deliver the next generation of versatile, high-volume, superior-quality printers and presses.
 
Following the realignment, EFI is making investments in R&D to strengthen its position in core markets while entering new categories – including the development of technologies to address new applications for the textile space and for packaging.

Fiery: Driving Digital Print Innovation and Growth
The Fiery business unit, under the continued leadership of Fiery Chief Operating Officer and General Manager Toby Weiss, remains as one of the world’s premier DFE providers, enabling the high performance required across many vertical markets including packaging, signage and commercial print with advanced Fiery solutions driving high-end printers and presses from many major equipment manufacturers.

Productivity Software: Investing for Growth under New Ownership
EPS’ new owner, STG, is a private equity firm that focuses on investing in software, data analytics, and software-enabled technology services companies, and will support EPS to deliver enhanced value to its packaging and print customers and accelerate global growth. STG completed this acquisition on December 30, 2021. The price and terms of the deal were not disclosed.
 
Moelis & Company LLC served as exclusive financial advisor, and Sidley Austin LLP acted as legal counsel, to EFI in the sale of EPS. Paul Hastings LLP acted as legal advisor to STG.
 
EFI’s upcoming Connect users conference will be a joint event for EFI and EPS customers. Leaders from both companies will highlight their technology enhancements and product roadmap strategies during the January 17-21 Las Vegas gathering.

As a first of its kind for Mimaki, visitors were able to speak with regional Mimaki representatives, gaining greater insight into the global printing industry as it recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic.

A stand-out attraction of the event was the recently released 100 Series, which is priced affordably to allow printers entry into different markets, as many look to expand their portfolio in these uncertain times. The new JFX600-2513 and JFX550-2513, which debuted a few weeks prior at virtual drupa, similarly are higher end but still affordable printers, when compared to other large format UV flatbed machines in its class. 3D full colour print technology also featured heavily in the event, as Mimaki explored the exciting propositions it opens up in different markets and how the brand continues to extend the reach and accessibility of cutting-edge 3D technologies with its upcoming 3DUJ-2207 printer.

Mr. Kazuaki Ikeda, President of Mimaki Engineering commented, “I’d like to extend my thanks to everyone who joined us during this exciting new virtual event. During the pandemic, carrying on innovating has been central to Mimaki’s objectives, with eight new products having been released since October, and even more scheduled to come out over the course of this year. I hope that we can soon all meet at in-person events, once it’s safe to do so, but until then I’m excited to see the results of the continued collaboration and innovation of print industry that we saw in our Innovation Days event.”
