HORIZON BY APPOINTMENT BOOKED OUT

The Currie Group event next week, Horizon by Appointment, is fully booked out, with a spread of print businesses taking advantage of the one-on-one sessions.

Running 6-8 December, and held at Currie Group’s Hawthorn demonstration centre, the event is set to reveal new Horizon finishing equipment launched at the Igas 2022 International Graphic Arts Show last week, and will discuss the future of finishing, with the Horizon Smart Factory, connected machines, and robots.

Will Currie, product category manager – Finishing, Currie Group, said, “Print businesses will be able to assess the latest equipment without time or other pressures, they will enjoy the full attention of Currie Group, and be able to work through the implications for their specific operations."

As well as giving print business owners the chance to check out the latest technology on the market, the sessions will provide an insight into the future. Will Currie says inline automation for finishing and print will deliver real benefits for Australian and New Zealand print businesses.

He said, “Australia has had glimpses of the future, a perfect binder inline with a trimmer for instance, but there is so much more coming soon. Horizon has the ability to connect printing equipment directly to a binding system, to trim systems, have a robot pack it into a box, and have another robot drive it to despatch. All this is coming soon, switched on print businesses will want to make sure they are early adopters.”

The Horizon Smart Factory was first seen three years ago, print businesses attending the Horizon by Appointment sessions will have a video report from the latest developments in Japan.
