EFI expat returns home for PacPrint

Wilson relocated from her home in Melbourne several years ago to the EFI head office in California, recruited by the company to play an integral role in its development of solutions for the high-end digital print market. Some of the projects Wilson has worked on include advanced colour management, variable data printing and the introduction of optimal solutions into workflow.

EFI Asia Pacific director of sales Eric Holtsmark claims Melbourne-born Wilson presenting at PacPrint is a coup for the company. “She's an impressive speaker who is well-versed on virtually any digital printing topic, so EFI offices around the world frequently request her expertise and presence. EFI Australia and PacPrint offered Kathy the 'hometown advantage', and we're delighted to have her here,” says Holtsmark.

“I miss a lot about home,” said Wilson. “But EFI offered the terrific experience of living and working in Silicon Valley, and from its headquarters helping to deliver the industry’s leading solutions for every stage of the printing process. It helps to have my Aussie husband with me, and that Vegemite is available at our local market!”

Wilson will be delivering two PacPrint presentations during her stay in Australia, discussing the inner workings of variable data printing as well as providing an overview of the key markets and business applications succeeding with digital print.

In other PacPrint news, with only two months to go the event's organisers have urged the industry to register online. “We are in the final lead up to PacPrint'05 and everyone involved is very excited about the shape of the show,” says a spokesman for the PacPrint '05 board. “The number of pre-registered visitors is already running well ahead of the same period in 2001, which indicates that we will see an enormous industry gathering over the five days of the exhibition.”
