3 A NEW PERSPECTIVE FOR THE PRINTING WORLD A new event for the printing industry and its different aspects. An innovative format that joins three long-standing brands Grafitalia, Converflex, and Inprinting to give life to a unique, richer and more articulated event that will bring new energy to a highly evolving market. Print4All overcomes traditional market segmentations of commercial, editorial, and industrial printing, and offers a wider and variegated range of solutions, which will allow exhibitors and visitors to cross transversal targets, and create new synergies and business opportunities. Nothing will be left out: all printing and converting technologies, for any type of material and application, will be showcased, with solutions tailored to every need.

4 More than the sum of the parts. A PROJECT DESIGNED BY THE MARKET Prin4All is an event designed by the market for the market. It is the result of collaborations, choices, and meetups aimed at promoting continuous confrontation with companies and users, to support the industry s growth. THE STRENGTH OF THE NETWORK Print4All is the result of the strategic alliance between different players, who influence the entire printing chain supply with their know-how and expertise: ACIMGA and ARGI, which represent Italian and international manufacturers of printing and converting machines; 4IT Group, a longstanding company that observes the markets of the Graphic and Communication Industry, and Fiera Milano, a trade show partner of excellence. The support of Assocarta, Assografici, Istituto Italiano dell Imballaggio (Italian Packaging Institute), Atif, and the editorial sector has given the network an additional strength. The guarantee for a proposal shared by those who experience the market, every day. THE COMPETENCE OF THE STEERING COMMITTEES Steering committees aim to open up a dialogue with major market players on the most relevant topics. These committees are coordinated by ARGI, ACIMGA and Fiera Milano, and are already active for Printing and ennobling, Decorative Printing, Cross-media Communication, Digital Textile Printing and Smart Labelling. THE POWER OF REPRESENTATION OF THE THREE AMBASSADORS One for each link of the supply chain.
