Who had the best stall at Drupa 2016?
In my opinion, Kodak had the best stall with the most visual appeal.
Which was the technology that dazzled you the most?
The 3D printing technology from USA-based Doob and Israel-based Massivit, dazzled me the most. Anicolor from Heidelberg was very impressive too.
What was the least impressive thing at Drupa in 2016?
Conventional offset presses showcased by some of the manufacturers were not very impressive
One unknown company to watch out for?
Doob!
If money was no bar one investment you would like to make?
If I have the option, I would invest in a MGI Jet Varnish equipped with digital varnish and foiling technology.

Who had the best stall at Drupa 2016?
HP had a huge stall and had featured almost all of their machines providing samples and demonstration. I personally feel HP had the best stall at Drupa 2016.

Anicolor from Heidelberg was an impressive technology. Having this system on an XL 75 gives a great competition to digital printing and for small run packaging.

Surprisingly, Landa was the least impressive thing at Drupa. Their samples were still not okay.
