PRINT 17 is one of the largest printing trade shows in North America. It has everything from digital print, software and mailing solutions to offset and offset print enhancements. And if you are a printer coming to the show to look for the next printing solution, we have some tips from our V.P. of Marketing, Ellen Manning, on how to be successful at the show and why Eagle Systems, The Foil Experts, should be on your list of booths to visit.
We sat down with Ellen recently and asked her a few questions about PRINT 17, Eagle Systems and Chicago. Be sure to read her tips and insights in the questions and answers below.
Q: What is the best advice you can give to prepare for PRINT 17?
A: It is important for conference attendees to do their homework before, during and after PRINT 17. Get references and make sure you call several people on the reference list. For Eagle Systems, we encourage our potential customers to ask about our equipment, our service and how we help them to make money with Cold Foil. And, I recommend you do the same with any other vendor you are looking at.
Q: Are there any special events at PRINT 17 attendees should look for?
A: Yes! We are proud to be a part of the Print Media Centr Alliance in The Printerverse in Booth 4425. As part of the alliance we will be participating in several panels throughout PRINT 17. As a print shop manager, owner or solutions expert, you should definitely plan to attend these sessions. I will be participating in these sessions, which I am excited to be a part of:
Tuesday, September 12. 3:35-4:30 PM CT – The In-House Advantage: Upping Your End Game with Finishing
Wednesday, September 13. 10:15-11:15 AM CT – Printerverse Mover and Shaker Interviews
Wednesday, September 13. 4-4:45 PM CT – POP! Culture: Shining a Spotlight on Specialty Print
Q: What will attendees learn about Eagle Systems when they come to your booth 3002?
A: Eagle is the SPECIALIST in Cold Foil machinery…our solution is easy to use with the best reputation worldwide. We are also the SPECIALISTS in the Cold Foil Process It might surprise people to learn that along with our many installations in the U.S we also have Cold Foil installed in Russia, Spain, Japan, Poland, France, Germany, Argentina and Guatemala—and hot foil in almost every country. In addition, we are doing the most Research & Development (R&D) on foil processes in order to help our customers with quick Return-On-Investment (ROI), as well as, to help them market Cold Foil to make money! WE have mastered Cold Foiling on UNCOATED stock and now have created FoilCURE and Special Cold Foil Adhesive (all of which can be viewed at our booth).
Q: PRINT 17 is in Chicago…what do you recommend people do while at the show in Chicago?
A: A few years ago, I came to Chicago early before the show started to see the city. I loved the boat ride through the city talking about all the buildings and history. I feel it’s a must do when you are there.
Ellen Manning is the V.P of Marketing for Eagle Systems and will be at PRINT 17 greeting potential and current customers in The Foil Experts booth #3002. She invites you to schedule an appointment to visit their booth by contacting them today.
When you leave PRINT 17, Eagle Systems’ goal is for you to see where foil can add opportunity to your print business while having a new partner to help you make it happen.
