Mimaki’s stand at Fespa 2013 will feature a special aquarium-themed area dedicated to displaying student-designed images created during the show and produced on Mimaki printers.
“We are thrilled about this programme,” said Mike Horsten, general manager marketing, Mimaki EMEA. “At the previous Fespa in Barcelona, we initiated the Mimaki Nature Education Program for school kids by sponsoring Pertama the tiger at the Barcelona Zoo. At this Fespa we are giving these three students the unique opportunity to demonstrate their passion for print live during the show. It is an opportunity to give special recognition to these talented young people, have some fun, and educate the market on the possibilities offered by Mimaki wide-format printing. For those who cannot attend the show, we will be broadcasting the process live via the Web.”
The live broadcast can be accessed at http://www.mimakieurope.com/fespa-movie/ during show hours. The special area inside the stand is constructed as a glass aquarium and will contain two Mimaki printers (CJV30-60 and UJF-3042) for the exclusive use of the students. Students will also have access to all equipment on the stand, enabling the use of textiles and other special materials. Each Fespa day, a different theme will be illustrated: aquarium, the 70's living room, the future city, the English pub and the jungle of Pertama.
“Fespa is a show dedicated to the imagination,” adds Horsten. “Visitors to the stand or viewers of the live broadcast will see imagination at work.”
