TOTAL VISITORS TO PRINTEX07 EXCEED EXPECTATIONS: RECORD NUMBERS THROUGH THE DOORS - 28 May 2006

PrintEx07 enjoyed total visitor numbers of 11,148 representing a 7.3 percent increase over PrintEx03, the last time this major print and graphic communications exhibition was held.

Since before the doors opened on the first day, Thursday 24 May, visitors were queuing for entry and a steady stream continued to come to the exhibition throughout the three days.

“We are delighted with the strong numbers and positive feedback we have received. It is evident that this Sydney event is welcomed by the industry and fits an important niche,” said Grant Churchill, Chairman, PrintEx07.

Exhibitors reported quality buyers, keen to do business.

“PrintEx07 was been a resounding success for Kodak, with high quality visitors and large volumes of sales,” Ross Gilberthope, Marketing Manager, Australia and New Zealand Graphic Communications Group, Kodak.

Gilberthorpe said that within ten minutes of the exhibition opening, the Kodak stand was packed with visitors, something the company had never seen before at an Australian printing exhibition.

“2007 was the first PrintEx exhibition for Signet. With great traffic flow, lots of leads and the ease of dealing with the exhibition organisers, the experience was excellent. The visitors were exactly the prospective clients Signet was looking for and the exhibition was a definite success,” said Lesley Desmond Direct Marketing Manager, Signet.

Canon reported that by mid-way through the exhibition, four of Canon’s key printing machines were already sold, far exceeding their expectations.

“PrintEx07 had constant traffic flow and with really decent, genuine buyers, the exhibition was an excellent investment,” said Natalie Walka, Marketing Communications Coordinator, Canon Australia.


PrintEx07 is presented by Graphic Arts Merchants Association of Australia (GAMAA) and the Printing Industries Association of Australia (PIAA).
