Speaking exclusively to PrintWeek India, Ashok Neelkanth, owner, Intel Trade Fairs & Expositions, said, “This is the first major show after Drupa. All major digital players are in attendance. The Southern region of the country is an important market for all the digital players. During our research, we spoke to more than 100 print CEOs. The feedback is that these printers will continue with offset but surely invest in digital.”
