All systems go for Innova Art at Sign & Digital UK 2016, NEC, Birmingham, 19-21 April

The ingenious GOFrame canvas stretching system and award-winning JetMaster Image Display range were the star attractions on the Innova Art stand at Sign & Digital UK, NEC, Birmingham, 19-21 April. The double-whammy package of easy assembly and high quality finish of the GOFrame and JetMaster products made them the biggest draw. Sign-Tronic’s Oce Arizona flatbed printer, demonstrating how quick and easy it is to print stylish 3D art on the full range of JetMaster direct print media, was kept running throughout the show. “The majority of visitors to our stand were print service providers, with a primary interest in décor and display,” said Jon Courtiour, Innova Art Business Director; Decor, Display and Retail Solutions. “What’s exciting was visitors’ interest in expanding their offer beyond signage and wide format – they were looking for exactly the kind of value-adding display options that GOFrame and JetMaster provide. Products like this help differentiate a business from its rivals, at the same time as they can dramatically improve margins.” As a company, Innova Art believes it drew more visitors to the stand in 2016 than at Sign & Digital UK 2015. Many were from the UK and Ireland, but some were from further afield including Eastern Europe and Africa. “Wherever visitors come from, they are looking for flexibility, quality and cost-efficiency – and we had many excellent discussions which proved to me that products like GOFrame and JetMaster do just that,” said Courtiour.

Starting a gallery: interview with Denise Di Battista

For any artist, there is always a challenge of how to get your work seen; one way to make this happen is to set up your own gallery. The Innovation News team spoke to Denise Di Battista about what the process was like for her after she decided to set up her own gallery and print studio. Denise Di Battista is a welsh based artist who creates original artwork using an eclectic style, capturing work true to life as well as some more fantastical imagery. This is the first gallery that Denise has set up herself; however, she does have experience of curating her own solo exhibitions and assisting with the set-up of local art society shows. After deciding to open her own gallery space Denise began the process of finding suitable premises, along with her husband Ivano, who will be running a co-located print centre. After identifying the perfect place on John Street, Llanelli, the work began in March 2016. For Denise, the process was an interesting one; “Very busy and at times it was both stressful and exciting. Prioritising tasks and, because quite a lot of re furbishing was necessary, time managing the working teams was particularly challenging.” Although there have been challenging elements, the end is almost in sight. The doors of the gallery are due to open officially on April 30th 2016. In celebration of the gallery space opening, a private view will be held from 7pm on Friday April 29th 2016. Canapes and drinks will be available for attendees and you will get an exclusive first look at the gallery space. Alongside her original pieces of artwork, Denise also produces limited edition prints. Each of her images is limited to [...]

It’s a sell out for Innova Art at The Photography Show 2016

The Innova range of digital fine art and photographic media proved popular at The Photography show, Birmingham, 19-22 March. A bigger stand than ever before saw Innova Art reseller, Fine Art Foto, selling out of some of the most popular product lines. The stand next to the super stage had a constant stream of visitors keen to stock up on their digital fine art supplies. “Metallic papers were popular this year, the onsite stock of Olmec Photo Metallic Lustre 260gsm sold out before the end of the show,” Wayne Malodobry of Fine Art Foto reported. Alongside the Olmec Metallic papers, the Photo Satin papers also proved popular and Pinchbook Photo Books were flying off the shelf. These covers offer a simple way to bind multiple prints. Pinchbook Photo Books can be used with any paper type – resin coated photo papers or matte and gloss digital fine art papers. Prints can be easily inserted by pulling back the covers to open the patented spring clamp and then secured in place by returning the covers to their original position. “The flexibility of being able to change the content in seconds really appealed to visitors,” commented Malodobry. Value added convenience was a theme for the Innova art stand at The Photography Show this year. The demonstration zone had a regular crowd of visitors keen to learn how to add value to their canvas prints using the GOframe canvas stretching system. The system, which only requires a knife, caught the eye of many enthusiastic photographers looking to make their own stretched canvases at home. “Many photographers said they currently outsource canvas stretching, or had resisted printing on canvas because they felt they lacked the necessary skills to stretch [...]

FESPA Digital 2016: Innova Art’s big draw

Décor and Display win the day Digital specialist Innova Art had an excellent response from visitors to its stand T64, Hall 7, at FESPA Digital 2016, Amsterdam, 8- 11 March. “Our ‘department store’-style presentation proved a real magnet,” said Jon Courtiour, Innova Art Business Director; Decor, Display and Retail Solutions. “People could easily see which were the priority products they wanted to take a closer look at – and then found themselves being enticed into something new by the demonstrations going on all around the stand.” Innova Art’s biggest draw was its award-winning JetMaster® Image Display Systems range, which now includes direct print photo wraps and panels that can be printed in volume and assembled – without tools – in minutes. “We had JetMaster distributor Sign-Tronic on the stand with their Canon Océ Arizona Flatbed printer, demonstrating how easy it is to print 3D art and décor products with JetMaster,” said Courtiour. “Visitors were amazed to see 12x12” JetMaster Direct Print Photo Wraps being printed eight at a time – and ready to hang after just minutes of assembly.” The GOframe canvas stretching system, which transforms wrapped canvases made the traditional way into an astonishingly easy task, were also the centre of attention. The pre-cut stretcher bars in combination with the patented GOframe clamps produce drum-tight stretched canvases without any need for hammers or nails. Throughout the fair, samples of Innova Art’s YouTac® Textile were rolling off the Epson SureColor SC S-40600 provided by ARCA printers and supplies. Driven by Shiraz software, the results were outstanding. Shiraz also operated an Epson SureLab D700 which was used to print artwork for JetMaster Photo Panels and – at the other end of the spectrum – the pages [...]
