This bio-based, carbon-neutral range of films is being billed as “revolutionary” by Digidelta, featuring 85%+ bio-based content
HP has revealed that it will join forces with Digidelta at The Print Show and The Sign Show this year to demonstrate a new, sustainable solution in the UK for the first time.
Digidelta, a specialist manufacturer of digital print, decoration, visual communication, and textile materials, will work with HP to run live demonstrations on BIOND throughout the events.
This bio-based, carbon-neutral range of films is being billed as “revolutionary” by Digidelta, featuring 85%+ bio-based content. On top of this, BIOND films do not contain any volatile organic compounds and are free from harmful substances such as phthalates and chlorine.
BIOND is available in ranges including printing films, protection films, décor films and glass décor solutions, with visitors to the two shows in September able to view the materials for the first time at a UK event.
“BIOND represents a fundamental shift in visual communications, delivering high-performance print media that establishes new benchmarks in environmental responsibility,” said Armando Mota, chief executive officer of Digidelta.
“Our commitment extends beyond creating eco-friendly products – we’re pioneering solutions that transform industry possibilities.”
Live demonstrations of BIOND form just part of HP’s plans for the shows, with visitors able to view a whole range of hardware in action on the manufacturer’s stand.
Highlights include the HP Latex R530, which, like BIOND, is being shown in the UK for the first time. Also, on display will be the recently announced HP Latex 630W and HP Latex 830W Series printers.
In addition, HP will be offering VIP stand tours each day at the show. These personalised tours will give attendees an in-depth look at HP’s latest products and innovations, allowing them to gain additional insight into its wider range of solutions. Visitors who sign up for the booth tour will have the chance to enter a raffle to win exclusive Ferrari merchandise.
For further sustainable innovation, HP will partner with Digidelta, a specialist manufacturer of digital printing, decoration, visual communication, and textile materials, to run live demonstrations on BIOND. This bio-based, carbon-neutral range of films is being billed as “revolutionary” by Digidelta, presenting users with exciting opportunities within sustainable print production.
Available in ranges including printing films, protection films, décor films and glass décor solutions, all BIOND products feature 85%+ bio-based content, do not contain any volatile organic compounds, and are free from harmful substances such as phthalates and chlorine. In a market where sustainability is becoming an increasingly important consideration for customers, BIOND presents a new option for print companies seeking to enhance their offering.
Incidentally, The Print Show and The Sign Show mark the first time BIOND will be shown to a UK audience. Add in that the material matches the long-term commitment of HP Latex to the environment, and this could see the HP stand become a real hub of sustainable activity across the three days.
The Print Show returns from September 23rd to 25th at Hall 3 of the NEC in Birmingham. Those wishing to attend the exhibition have been encouraged to register online.
