Press release from the issuing company

Schiphol-Rijk, The Netherlands – Kyocera Document Solutions Europe Management B.V., one of the world’s leading document solutions companies, is delighted to share that Kyocera enjoyed great success at drupa 2024, the world’s leading print fair for print technologies, from May 28th – June 7th. The organisation partook in the event for the first time, and both booth visitor numbers and closed deals exceeded their initial targets across successful 11 days.

Over the past two weeks, Kyocera’s inkjet experts showcased the company’s production print solutions, the TASKalfa Pro 15000c and the TASKalfa Pro 55000c, at drupa in Düsseldorf. This event has been an excellent opportunity for Kyocera to network, demonstrate its offerings, and share knowledge about new trends in commercial print. In addition, the organisation has been able to seal over numerous deals with customers during the show.

“Drupa 2024 was a great success,” says Takuya Marubayashi, President of Kyocera Document Solutions Europe Management B.V. “We are delighted with the reception our inkjet production print solutions received and the connections we made in Düsseldorf. It was incredibly rewarding to demonstrate the efficiency and quality output achieved by inkjet technology in person at drupa, and we are proud to be leading the charge on sustainable, affordable production printing for companies of all sizes.”

The event saw the return of Kyocera’s debut commercial printer, the TASKalfa Pro 15000c, which is designed for transactional and trans-promotional printing and book publishing. The device remains the perfect partner for print service providers, offering print speeds up to 150 pages (A4 simplex) per minute, 24-hour operation, and exceptional reliability with remarkable uptime. Meanwhile, drupa 2024 marked the European debut of the newest addition to Kyocera’s inkjet portfolio, the TASKalfa Pro 55000c. This commercial high-speed inkjet solution is emerging as a game changer in graphic arts, with its ability to print vibrant colours on coated offset substrates.

Visitors to hall 8A/C20 in Messe Düsseldorf enjoyed product demonstrations, one-on-one in-depth explanations, and print samples that displayed the stunning quality of Kyocera’s production print solutions. The organisation spent valuable time listening to customer business requirements throughout drupa and worked through the partnership opportunities in the field of comprehensive commercial printing solutions.

Kyocera has a heritage in inkjet technology defined by its award-winning printheads and inks. Their inkjet team held a press conference at drupa on Wednesday, 29th May to share their unrivalled expertise with print solution dealers, partners, and customers. The press conference was an excellent opportunity to share with the international print industry how Kyocera stands out within a busy industry segment, thereby creating new opportunities in production print with its sustainable, versatile devices.

As its first commercial printing device, the TASKalfa Pro 15000c, made a lasting impression at drupa among print service providers looking to improve productivity and efficiency. The sheet-fed inkjet device reduces energy consumption and can produce over a million prints per month, meaning print companies can offer their customers more for less with Kyocera’s solution. Meanwhile, the TASKalfa Pro 55000c poses exciting new possibilities in the world of graphic arts, providing comparable print quality to offset printing at a lower cost point. With rich colour reproduction and reduced TCO, the TASKalfa Pro 55000c is in-demand and set to revolutionise graphic arts.

“We would like to thank all of the drupa attendees who came to visit us at the Kyocera booth and see our vision for the future of inkjet technology.” says Takuya Marubayashi, President of Kyocera Document Solutions Europe Management B.V. “Thank you also to the fantastic drupa organisers for their support in arranging a very successful event.”
