The University of Missouri Print & Mail Services is ranked by IPMA as the 10th largest University In-plant in the United States, with more than $7 million annual sales. More than 70% of this revenue comes from offset printing as they produce recruitment, promotional and other outreach materials for their 30,000 students in run lengths and sheet formats that arent practical for digital.

Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) has set up a dedicated business unit for the industrial development, manufacture, and sale of printed and organic electronics. The company has also started production at its Wiesloch-Walldorf site, investing some five million euros in a complete production line for printed sensors. Sensors developed at InnovationLab (iL) in Heidelberg for use in dental technology are set to be printed first. These innovative printed sensors make it possible, for the first time ever, to digitally record the distribution of masticatory pressure during occlusion, that is to say when the upper and lower jaws come together. 3D visualization on a tablet and data archiving enable malocclusions to be identified and subsequently corrected. Looking further ahead, Heidelberg is to use state-of-the-art printing technology at its high-tech campus to produce sensors for other digital applications – in particular in healthcare and logistics, and also in the retail and automotive sectors.

Komori Corporation (Sumida-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director, President and CEO Satoshi Mochida) ("KOMORI") hereby announce its decision to cancel its participation to the drupa 2021 exhibition postponed until 20th to 30th April 2021, due to remaining concerns over the spread of novel coronavirus infectious disease (COVID-19).

Until now, pad printing has only been able to display different levels of brightness and colour gradients, as known from photography, with a great deal of effort and usually with unstable results. With the help of print screens, this representation could be simulated at least for the human eye. Thanks to the Tampoprint development of laser-structurable clichés such as the intaglio cliché and the development of 3D microstructuring such as with the Cliché Laser Xi, colour and brightness gradients as well as four-colour print motifs can now be convincingly represented.
