Heim Levit, general manager at HP Indigo, added: “We are very pleased to continue our commitment to the printing industry and drupa through our participation as an exhibitor at virtual.drupa this year. While we miss seeing our partners, customers and friends in the industry in a live show, protecting our employees and community remains a top priority. However, the last 12 months have demonstrated the very positive reception of our new NPI portfolio, which continued to drive significant innovation allowing businesses of all sizes to keep growing despite challenging business environments. We encourage everyone to visit virtual drupa and connect with us.”
