Benny Landa, founder of Indigo digital print technology and the new nanography pigments developed as a part of Landa Nano print technology, has high hopes for the packaging industry. He spoke about the market's growth at EFI's recent Connect user conference. Everything sold in a drugstore or a supermarket is printed packaging.

The fireside chat between Gecht and Benny Landa revealed the latest progress on development progress of the Landa forthcoming family of presses, all based on nanotechnology, with the S10 cut-sheet B1 unit due to be ready for beta testing at the end of this year.

EFI is betting big that acquisitions in software and inkjet printing will keep paying off.

EarthColor has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to purchase an unspecified number of Landa Nanographic Printing Presses.

Visitors to the event, which is free to attend and takes place at Birmingham's NEC on 27-28 February, will see Landa Digital Printing presenting its technology to the packaging industry for just the second time in the UK.

Digital printing will be a key theme at next month's Packaging Innovations 2013, where the likes of Landa will dissect the next evolution of the process.

Benny Landa could commercialise his nanotechnology beyond print and into pharmaceuticals, green energy, pyrotechnics, LED screens – even hair dye.

Benny Landa was at EFI's Connect event in Las Vegas this week and as part of a fireside chat with Guy Gecht and a separate meeting with the trade press and industry analysts he provided a status update.

Attendees at the 14th annual EFI Connect Users Conference this week will hear two of the industry's most dynamic speakers when Benny Landa joins EFI CEO Guy Gecht onstage.

When I attended the Print World show last month, I heard a very articulate Kristoff Dekeukelaere, Landa Sales Rep, explain the basics of the revolutionary Nanographic Printing process in a special pre-show presentation.
