Focus on Imaging is primarily a photographic exhibition but has grown to be Europe’s largest annual imaging show. As such it covers not just their traditional camera market but printed output too. As such it has seen a growing inkjet and thermal transfer presence over the years. It is also a growing “gossip shop” where the conversations are of equal importance to the exhibits, as proved the case this year.
As usual there was a large RPS presence and the stand seemed to be very busy. It was situated right next to the HP display where they were featuring their Z series wide format photo printers. With a 12 ink inkset the results are stunning, particularly the Chromatic red. Unusual to see a graphics inkjet without a full strength cyan however!
The balance is changing at this show. I spent the entire day looking at inkjet printers and media and never touched a camera once!
