Visual Magnetics’ Products Featured in Mimaki Booth At FESPA 2013, London

Mendon, Mass., June 21, 2013 – Visual Magnetics®, creator of magnetic-receptive materials for custom Dynamic Spaces™, is proud to announce their products will be featured in the Mimaki Europe (EMEA) booth J5S at FESPA 2013.  FESPA’s flagship exhibition will take place in London, England, from June 25-29. 

The design focus of Mimaki’s stand is a stunning aquarium that will undergo numerous transformations throughout the duration of the show.  Three SintLucas students utilizing media from the versatile Visual Magnetics Graphic System® will lead the live design demonstrations.  Students Robert van den Broek, Esther van Helmont and Marc Buul will be followed by a webcam that will broadcast the space’s innovative recreation.  This collaboration is a magnificent blend of education, business, creativity and fun. 

"We are looking forward to incorporating the Visual Magnetics Graphic System into our booth at FESPA 2013,” said Mike Horsten, General Manager Marketing for Mimaki EMEA.  “Visual Magnetics materials are easily interchangeable, repositionable and will add layers to the aquarium walls without having to use adhesives or pastes.  We want FESPA attendees visiting our stand to be confident that the combination of Mimaki  printers and Visual Magnetics magnetic receptive materials can create applications beyond their expectations.” 

“I believe the synergy between Visual Magnetics and Mimaki will benefit the digital print market by offering a quality solution for a wide range of print applications,” said Joe Deetz, President / CEO of Visual Magnetics.  “The live demonstration in Mimaki’s booth will showcase a wall or fixture’s limitless design capabilities when you combine our product lines.”
