Hello

This week’s newsletter brings you some of the latest developments in prepress and commercial printing as well as highlights and trends in the book, magazine and newspaper publishing industries. We include a conversation we had with Sandeep Mehrotra, Adobe’s Director of Sales in India, on recent publishing and software developments. We bring you a background article on FDI in Indian newspapers and news magazines, and announcements on IPEX 2010, the Cape Town Book Fair this month, and a series of Children Book workshops to be organised by the German Book Office New Delhi. We are also reporting on recent developments from KBA, Rotatek and Fujifilm.

With the printing industry moving to sustainability and process standards, we keep drawing your attention to two important events:

First of all, there will be a discussion on career opportunities and HR developments in the packa ging industry at the PackPlus exhibition in New Delhi from 8 to 11 July, organised and facilitated by ippStar (IPP Services, Training and Research Pvt Ltd).

Secondly, there will be the ippStar Monsoon Summit on the implementation of the ISO 12647-2 standard, which is organised as an intensive workshop to be held in Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai on 14, 16 and 18 July, respectively.

Don’t miss these opportunities to get involved and learn how to meet the evolving requirements of our industry!

We also continue to ask for more support for our magazines, websites and email newsletters. We believe that these have resulted in meaningful leads for some of the press manufacturers.
