We start the week with a note about an event we want to talk about this week.
It’s the third edition of C! Print Madrid.
What is C! Print?
C! Print Madrid is the event that brings together everything to do with printing. Materials, techniques, projects, procurement, marketing and textiles can all be found at this show devoted to visual communication, the creative industries and personalisation.
Why does it matter?
One very important thing we shouldn’t overlook as graphic design professionals is printing and everything it makes possible, because our graphic design project doesn’t end on the computer screen.
It’s common for a commission to go beyond pixels: in the digital storm there’s still room for card, packaging, boxes, product catalogues and labelling.
It’s vital that we approach the conceptual side of a project across its full scope: right from the start we have to think about philosophy, colour and finishes.
And it’s in the finishes where printing takes on enormous importance. The options are endless, and printing techniques can be what delivers the difference our client expects from their product.
What will we find at this third edition of C!Print Madrid?
This third edition brings a new Plug&Play space where visitors can personalise objects using digital technology, and a showroom workshop of practical applications where you can see, touch and share solutions.
There’s also a training centre with workshops, guided tours, talks and round tables showing the benefits and latest developments in digital printing and its applications.
«La Plataforma» will also be launched, a professional exhibition area that will act as a meeting point for people in the field: architects, interior designers, graphic designers, brands, agencies and more.
Along with the usual round tables, talks, workshops and exhibitors.
All in all, a good place to go and be seen, to look around and get to know people.
