Photo book software manufacturer, TAOPIX, has announced record trade show figures from Ipex. During the eight day exhibition, more than 1600 demonstrations were carried out by TAOPIX staff which resulted in over 600 leads. There were eleven orders taken for TAOPIXTM Photobook during the show with tens more companies committed to signing after the show.

James Gray, TAOPIX CEO says: "This Ipex has been the best trade show for TAOPIX to date. There was never a time when the stand wasn't busy. The number of interested parties certainly backs up the trend for growth in the photo book and photo gifting market. Our belief is that photo books should be part of every digital printer's portfolio and present a real opportunity to make money."

Non-UK companies made up 60% of the total number visiting the TAOPIX stand with the majority travelling from within the EU followed by a large contingent from Asia. Adds James Gray: "I was impressed by the numbers of overseas companies making the effort to attend the show. Our solution is currently available in 18 languages which proved to be a key selling point when demonstrating TAOPIX Photobook to those who were looking for a country-specific platform. Prospects were also particularly interested in the flexible payment gateways we offer."
