The importance of business models will be emphasised by Osman Zöllner, head of marketing at online printing company WIRmachenDruck GmbH (Germany).

“Our products and services are innovative and provide visitors with new ideas on technologies, applications and trends,” he said.

A familiar face at the DIP is Olav Kollin, general manager at Print 4 Reseller, who will demonstrate Marketplace 4.0 – a central sourcing and marketing platform for print products.
