IPEX 2010 and UK visas for Pakistanis
IPEX is among the world’s fourth biggest exhibition which is held in Birmingham, UK,
every four years. At IPEX 2010 more than 1000 exhibitors showcased their latest
innovations and technologies for printing and packaging industry. Almost all the big
industry players participated. Conferences and workshops were held. Interested
participants attended the events. Around 100,000 visitors from around the world turned up
for the show. A number of deals were successfully concluded.
About 100 people from Pakistan used to visit IPEX in the past. This time, however, only
a handful of Pakistanis could visit the show because of visa constraints. Even members of
renowned printing and packaging units were not issued visa. Representatives of most
important and world renowned manufacturers like Kodak, Bobst, Komori, manroland, KBA
and many more could also not get the visas. Mostly only those Pakistanis could proceed for
the show who either already had multiple entry Visas or those who held dual nationalities.
After evaluation of the innovations and technologies provided by more than 1000
exhibitors showcased in the exhibition several deals have been finalized. Iran, Malaysia,
India, China and many more Asian countries materialized their requirements from the
exhibitors and got knowledge of latest developments in the printing and packaging industry.
The rapid changes in pre-press and software have been seen during the exhibition.
Unfortunately we could not access all the information and could not materialize our deals
which were well planned for our future requirements. Pakistani also could not attend the
meetings which were planned during the show and had to cancel their scheduled meetings.
It is, however, good news for business community that the British High Commissioner
said that for the promotion of trade and Industry with two countries, work is being done for
quick processing of the business visas in near future. He was talking in a meeting with a
delegation of businesspersons in Islamabad who called on him recently. He also said that
the agreement signed 2 years back between the two countries for Trusted Partners will be
soon restored. The agreement was signed for the progress of bilateral trade and
accelerate of economy between the two countries,
Establishment of Pakistan Packaging Institute is hailed by
Packagers all over the country
The news regarding establishment of Pakistan Packaging Institute appeared in last issue
of Print2Pack is being hailed by the packagers all over the country. We congratulate the
Ministry of Commerce for taking such an important decision. It would be appropriate for the
Ministry of Commerce to include in their Advisory committees experts from the Packaging
industry for the establishment of the institute and perhaps also look for assistance from
renowned Printing, Packaging & Graphic Arts institutes of the world. Print2pack team will
gladly respond to any call by the Ministry for advisory service for the Project.
The syllabus for different segments of the packaging industry must be prepared
according to the environment of Pakistani packagers. The management of the institute must
have to arrange dialogues with the Pakistan renowned packagers to get knowledge of their
requirement for getting best stuff to serve the industry in a better way. We must prepare right
people for the right job in the industry. Our requirements are entirely different that of
developed countries. Before hand we must train the teachers. Though best talents in the field
are available in Pakistan but they can only deliver the technology after having experience
from world renowned institutes. As time is running and according to report we have only 30
months time in which we have to complete the project so we must prepare the teachers.
There is a dire need to study the curriculum and teaching methodology from our
neighboring countries like Indian Packaging Institute, Sri Lanka Institute of Packaging and
from international forum like World Packaging Organization having members of packaging
institutes from several countries. With the case study we can make a model institute to
produce the students who can work with out country’s atmosphere.
It is suggested that an advisory board be set-up in which the expertise from the
packagers and related fields must be included at earliest possible. They can deliver the
best possible ways for the establishment of an institute from where the industry get talents.

TODAY DIGITAL PRINTING By M. Rizwan Khan

Continued from last issue:
Colour Switching
HP's Digital Offset Colour printing technology enables
the printing of all colour separations with a single station.
After one colour separation has been created and printed, the
next one (a different colour) is created and printed on the
same station. This is possible since the blanket completely
transfers the previous image, and none of the image stays on
the blanket. Single station printing has several advantages,
including compactness, lower cost of hardware, and better
mechanical accuracy, which translates, for example, to
better registration.
The HP printing engine basically performs the following
operations sequentially:
1. Electrostatic charging of the electro-photographic Photo
Imaging Plate (PIP) which is mounted on the imaging
cylinder.
2. Exposure of the PIP by a scanned array of laser diodes.
These lasers are controlled by the raster image processor that
converts instructions from a digital file into 'on/off '
instructions for the lasers.
3. Image development performed by the Binary Ink
Developer (BID) units.
4. Transfer of the inked image to the blanket cylinder.
5. Removal of any residual ink and electrical charge from
the PIP.
6. Heating of the inked image carried by the blanket.
7. Transfer of the heated inked image to the substrate held
by the impression cylinder.
These operations repeat themselves for every colour
separation in the image.
