Digital printing will be the focus in Orlando, FL from April 25-27, as InPrint USA 2017 joins ICE USA 2017 at the Orlando Convention Center.
 
With an eye on expanding its successful European presence, InPrint is making its first appearance in the US. Early numbers indicate that there is strong interest in the show.
 
“For ICE USA, our registration numbers are tracking ahead of previous shows, and we have exceeded our forecast for attendees for InPrint USA,” said Melissa Magestro, EVP of Mack Brooks Exhibitions, who is organizing the show. “We are definitely expecting the most visitors we have ever seen at ICE. Companies are seeing the value of our having these two shows together, as being able to learn about converting and inkjet equipment at one show is a real benefit.”
 
InPrint USA’s goal is to bring together manufacturers who use print as a key component of the manufacturing process with leading brands in the fields of industrial specialty, screen, digital, inkjet and 3D technology print solutions.
 
For its part, ICE USA 2017 is being held in the Americas for the fourth time, and will feature more than 250 exhibitors from the packaging, paper, nonwoven and self-adhesive industries.
