The conference will be held from Sept 25-28, 2016 in Orlando, FL.
 
Among some of the featured highlights, designed to enhance the way that companies achieve their strategic objectives, are the following:
• AccurioPRESS C2070 – premiering in the U.S. under the company’s new line of production and industrial products, Accurio, the latest toner-based digital PRESS C2070 is a full color product that prints on paper and envelopes. This is the next generation of the bizhub PRESS C1070 series in the Accurio line, which supports media up to 350 gsm, has a 3,000-sheet high capacity stacker, and comes with semi-automated front-to-back registration and skew correction.
• bizhub PRESS C71cf – the latest continuous feed, toner-based, easy-to-operate digital label printer of its kind. Printing at speeds up to 62’/min on rolls 13” wide and leveraging proven Konica Minolta’s HDe dry toner technology, the bizhub PRESS C71cf is the perfect fit for businesses looking at a low-risk first entry into digital label production, or as an efficient short-run solution to an existing digital print operation.
• EngageIT iLabel – a powerful software application designed for the bizhub PRESS C71cf.
• SpartanicsSRL350 – provides both semi-rotary die cutting and laser options to provide ultimate flexibility in label finishing.  The SRL350 is module-based and is easily configured with options such as lamination, dual-rewind, and UV coating. 
• MGIJETvarnish 3DW – delivers exceptional print enhancement value to the label market by adding beneficial shelf impact with colorful, eye-catching tactile effects that improve brand identification and consumer appeal. The JETvarnish 3DW supports roll media, is completely digital and allows printers to add spot UV coating and embossed hot foiling without dies, screens or expensive tooling on narrow webs up to 16.5’’.
 
Additional MGI family of products exhibited include:

The variable data option adds full personalization capabilities for a maximum one-to-one marketing impact. The digitalization of the spot UV finishing can take a few sheets from each job and spot UV coat it, producing sellable proofs so clients can see, touch and feel the effect that their jobs could have.
