Who had the best stall at Drupa 2016?
I believe it was the HP stall, not just because it was the largest, but because it had probably a solution for every sphere.
 
Which was the technology that dazzled you the most?
The Xeikon 3500 carton press, According to me, any technology which removes the current pain points is going to be a success. 
 
What was the least impressive thing at Drupa in 2016?
The fact that in the past 15 years of my going to Dusseldorf, they haven't put in travelators to go from one hall to the other!
 
One unknown company to watch out?
Epple Druckfarben. They launched a CMYK ink set which could be used in direct contact with food. They do have more innovations in the pipeline.
 
If money was no bar one investment you would like to make?
Like a normal Indian I would go in for a used machine. It would probably be a 2010 Porsche 918 Spyder.
