Canon Singapore announced the appointment of Arrow Digital as its Large Format Graphics Printers distribution partner in India. This distribution agreement is set to grow the indirect B2B channel for Asia’s Large Format Graphics printers. With effect from 1 January 2022, Canon Large Format Graphics products, including Canon Colorado series, 64” roll to roll production printers, UV gel Wallpaper Factory solutions, and Arizona UV Flatbed printers, will be sold and serviced through Arrow Digital’s extensive distribution network.
Established in 2003, Arrow Digital has provided digital printing solutions to the Indian market in various applications and industries. This strategic partnership is designed to provide large format inkjet customers with a complete solution provider across the sign and display market.
Arrow Digital being the right distributor for Canon’s market
“India is a very important market for our growing expansion in South and Southeast Asia. We take great pride in working closely with organizations that are committed to offering top-quality products, solutions and services to customers as it directly aligns with our objective at Canon. We believe that Arrow Digital is the right distribution partner to support Canon’s market penetration. Our commitment to the Large Format Graphics business remains at the highest level with the new appointment, and we will ensure a smooth transition for our product and services, to deliver best-in-class solutions and exceptional customer service to our customers.” said Steve Ford, managing director, Regional Production Printing Asia, Canon Marketing Asia.
The Covid-19 pandemic led to the country-wide lockdown on 25 March 2020. It will be two years tomorrow as I write this. What have we learned in this time? Maybe the meaning of resilience since small companies like us have had to rely on our resources and the forbearance of our employees as we have struggled to produce our trade platforms.
The print and packaging industries have been fortunate, although the commercial printing industry is still to recover. We have learned more about the digital transformation that affects commercial printing and packaging. Ultimately digital will help print grow in a country where we are still far behind in our paper and print consumption and where digital is a leapfrog technology that will only increase the demand for print in the foreseeable future.
Web analytics show that we now have readership in North America and Europe amongst the 90 countries where our five platforms reach. Our traffic which more than doubled in 2020, has at times gone up by another 50% in 2021. And advertising which had fallen to pieces in 2020 and 2021, has started its return since January 2022.
As the economy approaches real growth with unevenness and shortages a given, we are looking forward to the PrintPack India exhibition in Greater Noida. We are again appointed to produce the Show Daily on all five days of the show from 26 to 30 May 2022.
