After a long hiatus due to the pandemic, general print shows resumed with Print4All in Italy, the largest printing equipment fair this year in Europe. According to the organizers, Fiera Milano, 246 companies exhibited, and 20,922 visitors came to the second edition of Print4All. The show took place in two halls from May 3 to 6 at the Fiera Milano exhibition ground. The show floors felt sufficiently busy—not at pre-pandemic levels, but getting close.

The visitor data is interesting, with foreign visitors coming from 66 countries—a sign of easing pandemic travel restrictions. With the majority being European professionals (71%) a strong presence from North Africa (12%) followed. The countries with the largest groups of foreign visitors were Spain, Germany, Switzerland, and France.

Print4All focuses on converting, labelling, and printing machines. An increasing emphasis was put on circular economy models and Industry 4.0, but also on services and digitalization. The trade show was complemented by seminars and forums to give attendees the opportunities to learn more than simply browsing through equipment.
