NUR MACROPRINTERS CONSOLIDATES AMERICAN OPERATIONS

Lod, Israel, May 2, 2001 -- NUR Macroprinters (Nasdaq: NURM), a global market
leader in wide and superwide digital printing solutions for out-of-home
advertising, today announced the initiation of a strategic plan to consolidate
and streamline its American operations. The consolidation of U.S. operations is
part of an overall plan currently being developed and implemented for improving
operational efficiencies worldwide.

Effective immediately, the Company will begin consolidating its operations in
North America -- NUR America, Inc. in Boston, MA and Salsa Digital Printers Ltd.
(also known as NUR Engineering USA) in San Antonio, TX -- into a single large
facility in San Antonio, TX. The two wholly-owned subsidiaries business units
will operate side-by-side and will share administrative and other resources.

NUR America remains the sales and customer support organization for NUR
Macroprinters in all of the Americas (Canada, the United States, Central and
South America). NUR Engineering USA retains its role as the R&D and
manufacturing operation for the NUR Salsa Ultima(TM) line of wide format digital
printers.

"We are taking these proactive steps in response to changing economic conditions
worldwide and in the North American marketplace in particular. The consolidation
of U.S. operations in San Antonio will ensure a more efficient organization and
a lower cost structure. We also expect this change will enhance the level of
support we provide to our customers throughout the Americas," said NUR
Macroprinters' President and CEO, Erez Shachar.

In addition to the consolidation of facilities, NUR's strategy provides for
selected management changes in the Americas. Effective today, Rick Clarke,
President of NUR Engineering USA (and previously Executive Vice President of
Salsa Digital, a company NUR Macroprinters acquired last year), has been chosen
as President of NUR America, Inc., expanding his role in the NUR organization.
Clarke replaces Shlomo Sagiv at NUR America.

Comments Rick Clarke, the newly appointed President of NUR America, "In addition
to the economic and overhead benefits of this operational reorganization and
consolidation, the Company believes there are other benefits as well. For
example, communications will be streamlined by having the sales and service
departments close to the manufacturing and R&D facilities and San Antonio is
more centrally located to better serve all parts of our extensive sales and
service region."

Concludes Shachar, "We remain confident that our strategy of taking action now
- --making a series of proactive, appropriate changes to our American operations
- -- will strengthen NUR Macroprinters' position in the Americas. We hope and
believe that the


                                     -more-

new NUR America organization will meet our customers requirements today and into
the future."

Further details concerning the plan for improving operational efficiencies
worldwide and the above-mentioned consolidation will be communicated in the
Company's upcoming release of the first quarter 2001 results and conference call
scheduled for May 10, 2001.
