Gabriel Jordi · Geschäftsführer · Jordi AG

We love Switzerland - its clean environment, friendly population, and nature that surpasses most places on earth. The trip from Zurich to Jordi in the small city of Belp, together with Peter Rickenmann, was a blast. When you arrive in Jordi, you soon realize that the company has a leg in the future and the past. Photos from the company's founding, a reception area featuring print samples, and a production area showcasing the technology that drives the company forward. Jordi is a commercial printing company, but it also operates an online business called printzessin.ch. Still, the marketing is also driven by creating stunning customer inspiration—just whau. We were invited by Koenig & Bauer to cover Jordi, and thank you. The Rapida 106 X is undoubtedly doing the job, along with the wealth of print, finishing, and other products from various vendors—but, of course, with the Rapida as the dominant centerpiece in the production.

International Printing Museum Los Angeles

We got an idea around Heidelberg's 175th Anniversary about filming the oldest and the youngest Heidelberg presses. It came to our attention because I saw a 1905 Heidelberg press being used at the International Printing Museum in Los Angeles - and despite the museum being closed on Mondays, they opened their doors. They gave us a demo of this fantastic piece of hardware. Talking to George Bush and Doug Haines was interesting, as the 1905 edition of this press also offered increased productivity and was a giant technology step in the printing industry - some of the same terms we use today on technology that is, of course, even faster and more capable. We will soon share the youngest Heidelberg machine in the market - so enjoy this fantastic film from a tremendous museum, and stay tuned for the newest and latest very soon!

Ed Binder, Marina Poropat Joyce · Mark Nuremberg · Lithographix

Ziga and I had an extra day (in between jobs) in Los Angeles, and well, the great restaurants, the beaches, and all the things you can experience in LA were tempting, yet we decided to spend a day with Lithographix, and what a great experience. Ed Binder, the President of Lithographix and its 240 employees, is a living example of a thriving industry. If you do things right, you can grow your business, and Lithographix is and should inspire us all. Laser-sharp marketing, dedicated sales, and a production platform that can deliver almost every printed product is one of the secret sauces. However, the employees and the focus on fault-free deliveries are the most important. Truly great day - thank you for having us :-)

Mike Zumbiel · Vice President, Sales · Zumbiel · HP T470

Zumbiel is one of the companies on my bucket list for a long time, and now we have the chance. Zumbiel has specialized in folding carton boxes for beers and softdrinks - and despite being a company of a specific size, they consider them small compared to the big players - but that also gives Zumbiel a unique position in the market, serving the customers that from time to time have circulations that are better suited for the mixed technology mix offered by Zumbiel. Zumbiel has several flexo-presses, VLF offset presses, and the HP T-470 inkjet printer. The T470 is a workhorse, and Mike Zumbiel explains that digital machines are so productive that he sometimes wonders if he has bought his last analogue press. Listening to Mike Zumbiel is a treat - so why not treat yourself?

TARIFFS · Ford Bowers PRINTING United & Morten B. Reitoft INKISH

No question that the tariffs the US Administration is imposing or threatening to impose affect the printing industry, first and foremost printers in the US, but consequently OEMS and suppliers throughout the entire value chain. In this interview, Ford Bowers from PRINTING United Alliance discusses the consequences and what can be done. It may give hope of certainty before PRINTING United opens its doors in Orlando in the autumn. Interesting discussion - listen, and let us know your thoughts :-)

Francis McMahon · President · Tecnau Americas

As everybody thought Francis McMahon would retire from Canon early, he is back as the President of Tecnau Americas + global CMO. In this interview with Editor Morten B. Reitoft, we learn more about Tecnau, Francis McMahon, and how he will continue improving the industry. Interesting to learn from, and in 45-ish days we will return with a follow-up interview to know in detail about where McMahon will place Tecnau in his role - he has, after all, only been employed for a couple of weeks at the current time. Enjoy this episode and stay tuned for the update as well!

Jason Hower · Lead System Engineer · HP T700i · Walkthrough in Würzburg

The HP T700i is enormous, and talking to Jason Hower, the Lead System Engineer on the machine, is proud - and with right. The machine is made for the lamination market, liner printing for corrugated converters, and if you think digital is short-run, rethink! The T700i runs as fast as almost any offset press, and the operational cost is so low that the break-even is in the thousands. We go into many details in this walkthrough, so please skip forward if you are more interested in any other section of the machine. HP T700i uses the newest generation of HP's thermo printhead with ink-recycle features, saving ink. The machine is fast and features technology that is, for now, only found on its larger brother, the T11XX series, and the new T4250, not yet launched. In short, it means faster, better quality, and better operational cost. Fantastic opportunity for us to get close to the machine, and we hope it will also be a learning journey for you.

Welcome to My Inkjet Journey with INKISH | Jean Lloyd

Hi everyone, I'm Jean Lloyd. Just two months ago, you may have seen the buzz on social media about me joining the INKISH team. It's been an incredibly exciting start—and we're just getting warmed up. My mission is to dive deep into the evolving world of inkjet printing, especially as it grows across new regions and industries. I’ll focus on commercial printing, the three major packaging segments (flexible, folding carton, and corrugated), and, of course, labels—where some truly exciting innovations are happening. You can expect in-depth interviews, site visits, a closer look at cutting-edge technologies, and a commitment to fact-checking the “game-changing” claims we hear daily in this industry. With a background that includes sales, service, global consulting, training, and major innovations—like the first inkjet print mounted onto a Cutstar unit on a Heidelberg Speedmaster, leading to the first hybrid digital offset press—I’m here to ask the hard questions, highlight real stories, and explore what’s truly transforming our industry. Feel free to message us if you’re curious about a product or technology or have questions about a claim. We might investigate. Let’s explore, learn, and enjoy the journey together. Thanks for joining me.
