Winners of Fujifilm’s West Africa Design Challenge will be announced at Fujifilm Stand D5 during this year’s PROPAK West Africa starting from 19th through to 21st of September 2017.

With camera and other fantastic prizes worth well over a million naira, entrants are challenged to submit a design for a number of different categories (which include Interior Design, Retail Environment and ‘free’ category, where you can let your creative juices run free), using the Acuity LED 1600 II’s unique features creatively.

These unique features include:• Two or three-layer one-pass printing: simultaneous two or three-layer printing with colour, white and clear inks provides the ability to produce high value creative prints. Print colour-white-colour layers in one pass for two-sided images on transparent materials.• Emboss effect: LED UV cures the ink instantly so there is no need to wait for the print to dry before finishing or shipping. This technology enables you to print multiple layers: you can print an image raised up to nine times.• Heat sensitive materials: LED UV lamps use a fraction of the energy of conventional curing

systems, which means you can work with heat-sensitive media without deformation, saving you money on power consumption and substrates.• Added value with clear and white inks: clear ink offers the luxury to highlight or enhance print with high-gloss spot finishes. High density white ink can be used to produce creative effects on clear and coloured media. Colours, white and clear inks can be printed simultaneously.• Print directly on to roll or rigid: quick switch between roll and rigid printing. Flatbed feed and receive tables are used for printing rigid media. It supports substrates up to 1610mm wide and can print on rigid sheet substrates up to 13mm thick.• Print on coloured materials: high density white inks and multiple layer print enables Acuity LED 1600 II users to print vibrant images on a wide range of coloured substrates and achieve high value special effects. You do not need to own an Acuity LED 1600 II, just the design must be able to be produced on the machine. There is no cost to enter the competition.

the PROPAK podium this year who will be divulging observations, experience and topical case studies to attendees. Each session has been selected to reflect a broad range of themes within the industry such as business strategy, efficiency, sustainability as well as sessions focused on different vertical sectors like food processing, print, pharmaceuticals and many more” said Emma Hooper - Business Development Director, Afrocet Montgomery.

Among the industry experts confirmed is packaging giant - Tetra Pak’s Managing Director, Phillipe De Louche who will take to the stage to discuss: ‘Breakthrough packaging technology to boost efficiency for food producers’. He explains; “The purpose of the session is to share Tetra Pak’s experience on developing suitable products for low income consumers, and to convey how a well-balanced approach can work miracles for increasing the demand and cementing a sustainable business.”

When questioned on what he would like audience members to take away from his presentation, Mr De Louche commented; “To know that beyond the profitable niches, there is a huge opportunity out there which requires high professionalism but is rewarding”.

With the launch of the brand new ‘Print & Digital Expo’ pavilion, one of the key focuses for the conference this year will be on the printing industry with a full day of dedicated sessions in addition to technical print seminars. “As a sector that holds a great deal of potential, print is something we are very interested in promoting at this year’s show. With the increased cross-over between print and packaging, many of the companies attending this year will be able to discover opportunities for growth and expansion at the dedicated print technical and conference sessions”, explained Hooper.

Some of the print-focused topics this year include: ‘Manpower development in the print industry’, ‘Opportunities for printers in a post-recession economy’, and ‘Counting on suppliers for after sales service’. The print-dedicated sessions will take place on day 3 of PROPAK West Africa 2017 (21 September 2017).
