In addition to the traditional Digital and Preprint CTP Zone, Ink Zone, Direct Mail Zone and Media Zone, the trade fair featured the Green Printing Zone, Education Zone, Label and Bill Zone and the Special Paper Zone.


   The All in Print China 2011 exhibitors were very pleased with the dynamic and active atmosphere at the event. “This exhibition is large-scaled, the number of visitors is a lot more than I expected, the quality of visitors is quite high and I'm very confident about the development prospects of China's printing market. I will definitely come back next time,” stated Lois Lebegue, Asian-Pacific President of Eastman Kodak. Liu Zhen, Executive Director and General Manager of AFA Printing Machinery Limited, Komori Printer's agent in China, commented: “Since All in Print China is held in winter, our initial expectation was quite conservative. But a lot more visitors visited the exhibition than we expected. We only attend several industry exhibitions in China and All in Print China is one of them.”

   A series of forums, symposiums and more than 30 seminars were held during the trade fair, including the “Global Printing Summit Forum 2011 & Exchange Symposium of Printing Industry among Four Districts of Cross-Straits”, the “2011 Digital Printing in China Technology Summit Forum" and “The 1st Asia G7 Summit: Global Printing Standardization”.
