Exhibitions for 2016

2016 hails the return of Europe's largest print exhibition - Drupa.  D&K will be exhibiting in Hall 11, Stand D40.  The show takes place in Düsseldorf from 31st May until 10th June. 
  

Being launched at the show will be our new B3 fully automated laminator.  Benefiting from a very compact footprint the new "baby Europa" will process sheets up to 370mm wide at speeds of up to 15m per minute.  We are running a competition to name the baby!  Bottle of champagne to the winner.  Email us at  info@dkeurope.co.uk with your suggestion.




Before Drupa we will be exhibiting at FamaArt, Bologna, Italy and Sign & Digital, NEC, Birmingham.

D&K have also signed up again for The Print Show, Birmingham, UK.   Staged for the second time from October 11th to 13th, 2016, The Print Show is a forward-looking annual exhibition designed to provide the key tools that everyone from the smallest high-street print shop, to the biggest conglomerate needs to remain competitive.
 
Rather than just another corporate orientated event, The Print Show will also work to provide a fun and entertaining celebration of the industry's culture and history-seeing a series of on-going live demonstrations of traditional print and finishing techniques from letter press, to intaglio, relief, and stone litho printing.
