Graphispag, the leading trade show for the graphic communication industry in Spain, in collaboration with AG Asociación Graph, Pack & Retail, brought together 350 brands specializing in graphic technology, software, supports, and materials.
This year’s edition took place in Hall 2 of Fira de Barcelona’s Gran Via Venue exhibition center. The entire hall was dedicated to the presentation of new equipment and applications, where printing industry exhibitors from 12 different countries offered their best products and services.

More than 180 exhibitors showcased all the innovations and best solutions of personalization industry, graphic industry and technologies on 8000 sq. m. exhibition area. In Graphispag 2017, 300 brands and companies were represented and artisJet made no exception.
During the four days at the fair, artisJet was represented by its Spanish distributors, Abitec Technology and Bomedia who showcased two of artis LED UV product line: artis 2100U and the well-known artis 3000U A3+ platform. Also, the distributors displayed one of artisJet digital printing solution for textiles, artis 3000T A3+ DTG platform.

The artisJet team provided personalized advice on the possibilities of their tools, technologies, equipment, as well as on all the applications on display and the software solutions it had to offer for an easy and at hand printing process for visitors’ business needs.

Visitors have shown high interest in all the products, each one with its particular features. That is why artisJet held product demonstrations and presented real examples on its stands. From phone case printing on various case substrates (plastic, acrylic, transparent, opaque etc.) to larger media substrates, artisJet displayed a wide variety of digital LED UV printing possibilities. But the visitors were really impressed by the LED UV printing capabilities on lenticular sheets.

What is a lenticular sheet? A lenticular sheet is a translucent plastic sheet with a set of small convex lenses on one side and a flat surface on the other side. It is the magic of these small convex lenses that have the ability to transform a 2D image into a visual illusion. Viewers can see lenticular special effects when the orientation of a lenticular sheet is changed.
There are different types of lenticular sheets and some parameters (material, the density of lenses, transparency etc.) you need to follow in order to decide what type of lenticular sheet you should use when printing with LED UV printers, but this topic will be developed at another time, for a better understanding.

As for DTG printing, artis 3000T digital platform demonstrated capabilities in terms of direct printing on both white and dark substrates with the same amazing color output. The printing process on dark substrates is facilitated by the white ink channels which ensure vivid and bright colors printing results not only on T-shirts but on any dark textiles. Those who have shown interest in DTG printing took a closer look to the prints and convinced themselves that the prints are durable and the instant drying inks provide non-cracking finishes.

At Graphispag 2017, the artisJet team was excited to see that besides customers that already have their businesses running, most of the stand visitors were newcomers looking for full printing solutions to develop start-up businesses.

Graphispag 2017 edition has come to an end. As the Graphispag event is being held on a two years frequency, artisJet is ready to meet new businesses in the personalization industry at the upcoming worldwide events, until the Graphispag 2019 edition.
