Fujifilm cleans up with wet and dry at Focus

The recent Focus-on-Imaging trade fair was a great success for Fujifilm, with the company reporting many firm sales and much higher than expected levels of enquiries for both dry and wet labs.

Peter Wigington, Marketing Manager for Fujifilm's Photo Imaging Group was delighted by the high level of interest the company's stand attracted. He commented that, "A trade show is all about making sales and this year we were pleased to take 10 confirmed orders for our Focus offer on DL410 DryMinilabs, plus three DPC6 Smartpix kiosks. There are also plenty more sales expected from the numerous leads generated over the four days. It is extremely encouraging to see that photo retailers as well as professional lab owners are willing to invest in new equipment to help their businesses grow."

He continued: "In addition to the DL410 and DL430, the other big draws to our stand were Fujifilm's newest dye-sublimation printer, the ASK-2500 and the new DPC9 SmartPix kiosk with a tilting 17" or 19" widescreen option. We also showcased the flexibility of the Xerox Docucolor252 which proved a big hit with visitors. The Wunderbars canvas stretching counter drew plenty of interested customers too. The orders weren't limited to dry technologies either - we also took an order from Digipix in Ilford for a Frontier 770 and it was interesting to see the levels of enquiries wet labs attracted from visitors."

Focus organisers backed up Fujifilm's positive response to the event, recording a biggest-ever attendance of over 34,000 over the four day show.
