Head of Sales Sean Howarth, said: “More and more companies are looking for smarter print solutions that introduce efficiencies and cost savings, yet without being shown, few companies realise the full potential and capabilities of their print devices. Our open day will not only allow for product demonstrations but will also provide companies of all sizes with insight into how they can utilise the latest print technology to save money, automate document processes, ensure document and data security and even cut colour print costs.” www.triumph-adler.co.uk Canon Celebrates third anniversary of the UN SDG Canon Europe marked the third anniversary of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals by celebrating Global Day to #Act4SDGs on September 25 with a special event in Nigeria in collaboration with Slum Art, a charity organisation with a mission to mentor and build creative talents in young people from Lagos. During the event and over a course of two weeks, photography training was given to participants aged between 15-19 from three neighbourhoods in Lagos with the aim to give these young individuals the skills to be able to talk about the SDGs that are most important to them and the solutions they want to see through the art of visual storytelling. The event formed part of Canon’s Young People Programme and was hosted by fully certified trainers from Canon’s Miraisha programme. www.canon-europe.com Production print specialists pick Riso Two leading names in the UK production print world have added to their fleet of RISO cut- sheet inkjet printers.
