Expert Team

For all who seek advice on printing for industrial applications, entering new market areas or adopting digital printing strategy, ESMA has launched the Expert Team at drupa 2016. Representing the association’s members and technology partners, the team received dozens of appointments at ESMA Lounge to share their expertise in printing requirements for specific market sectors. YOU CAN NOW ASK THEM A QUESTION VIA THIS WEBSITE.

As technological solutions move ahead and mature, we cannot forget that it is not technology that the printers buy. They buy features and benefits that technology enables: cost-savings, better business practices or optimised resource planning. The crucial questions are therefore: How can the tech­nology users turn a profit with machine, ink or software innovations? How will they use the innovative power of print? To answer these questions, ESMA has appointed the Expert Team, a platform of consulting, advice and the first contact point for business- and technology-related issues.

ESMA is there to facilitate your contact with our experts and to make sure you receive the right answer(s) to your question. See how it works:
