Organised by the Sri Lanka Association of Printers (SLAP), the three-day exhibition runs until 21 June under the theme “Driving Innovation and Sustainability for a Print Future”. The event will showcase the latest advancements in digital printing, automation, Artificial Intelligence, smart manufacturing and sustainable production technologies.
