Following the installation of MGI JV3DS at Bahubali Digiglam Delhi in 2018, Konica Minolta Business Solutions , an enterprise in printing technology, has installed another MGI JETvarnish 3D One at the same place. It is a simple, compact, and affordable digital embellishment press that provides sensory print applications for every size printer. Owing to the amplifying production demand, Bahubali Digiglam has also installed AccurioShine 101, a multipurpose offline foiling solution at its premises. The need for both these installations is attributed to the growing production demand faced by Bahubali Digiglam in categories like specialty printing, packaging, and labeling.

So far, Konica Minolta has sold 20 MGI machines in India, which further exhibi...

The ongoing uncertainty over Covid-19 related travel restrictions and visitor quarantine arrangements in The Netherlands and Europe continues as elsewhere. On 3 December, Messe Dusseldorf finally recognized the impossibility of holding interpack and drupa in February and April 2021 and canceled both as live events. Those shows have moved to 2023 and 2024. On the other hand, the Fespa organizers and RAI presume that the pandemic will be under control by Q2 of 2021. It could happen since several vaccines have ...
