Returning from FESPA Global Print Expo 2023 (May 23-26) Innova Art celebrates the launch of the D-print: the new dye-sublimation alternative to C-print.

With over 500 exhibitors and an estimated 15,000 visitors FESPA Global Print Expo 2023 continued the upward recovery trend of post-pandemic events. More exhibitors returned for the first time, taking advantage of reduced travel restrictions, bringing more visitors into the halls.

This was all reflected on the Innova stand. Accompanying the usual turn out of European attendees was a significant increase in the number of visitors from Asia and the Americas.

Drawn in by Innova Art’s reputation for creating cutting edge inkjet fine art and photographic media over the last 20 years. Each visitor to the stand was keen to embrace the latest printmaking revolution. Intrigued by the possibilities provided by dye-sublimation technology, they explored the full range of D-print media available in the Innova Supernova Sublimation range.

Many visitors in attendance were supplying C-type prints to their customers using traditional RA4 processing equipment. All were enthralled by the flexibility of switching to a dye-sublimation alternative.

The ability to augment their current product offering also appealed to visitors on the Innova Art stand at FESPA Global Print Expo 2023. Visitors currently specialising in textile printing saw the opportunity to maximise output from their calendar heat presses by diversifying into high end fine art and photo reproduction.

Innova Supernova Sublimation products are ideal for presenting high quality graphics in small and large formats across a range of applications, from light boxes to gallery displays. Producing comparative results to those on traditional C-print media, Innova Supernova Sublimation D-print media offers many benefits. Cheaper set up costs, lower maintenance commitments from a time and financial perspective, and, no need for disposal of exhausted chemicals. Prints can be produced on any dye-sublimation transfer papers and sublimated using flatbed or calendar heat presses. Finished artwork can be mounted on rigid substrates or left in their natural flexible state for easy shipping.
