Hello

Welcome to this week’s Indian Printer and Publisher online weekly news bulletin. As we have started with the thirty first year of being a definitive guide, we continue to bring you more information, follow-up and new stories. In this edition, we have included updates from Delhi, Noida and Chandigarh and have attempted to cater to both printers and publishers with stories of hawkers of Chandigarh, a publishing book review, Canon’s installation at Noida and of course the up-coming China Print. Live demos of KBA’s half and medium formats, Goss International and Shanghai Goss Graphic Systems (SGGS) emphasis on commitment to the Asia Pacific market and HP’s special digital printing seminar and tour of their stand for Indian visitors, China Print seems to emerge as a mega event for the industry. According to our latest estimations, approximately 160,000 visitors includin g 800-1000 Indians are expected from 12-16 May 2009.

Indian Printer and Publisher and Packaging South Asia will also be at China Print and you can meet us at the Independent Media Alliance stand, which is W2-222.
