IST UV-Days 2025 in Nürtingen is the place to be if you want to learn about technology and applications. One of the exhibitors is Stahl Packaging Coatings, which is exhibiting for the first time—or, to be more precise, after they acquired Weilburger Graphics last year, they are now ready to deliver interesting solutions under the Stahl name. Enjoy our interview with Raymond Bakker and Guglielmo Capuano to learn more.
Daniel Pierret got into the Lenticular/Substrate Institute as a photographer. When you talk to him, you instantly know that he loves photos, great design, and what lenticular can do to a photo or an image. Find inspiration here or at the IST UV-DAYS 2025 in Nürtingen, June 3rd-5th.
Driving from Chicago to Green Bay, Wisconsin, is only a 2-3 hour drive. As we pass through the landscape with many city names named after European cities, we are, of course, reminded of the historical ties between North America and Europe. In a hotel in Green Bay, Ziga Kovac and Morten B. Reitoft meet with Sean Springett and Christy Atkinson from Contiweb North America. Contiweb has been in operation for a considerable time. You can see their solutions being used by many printing companies. Still, this time we are invited to Seaway Printing, to see the first solution, where two identical auto splicers are used in front of a 8-color XL106 Heidelberg press with a Cutstar web-feeder - and the same splicer is also used in front of an HP T-series 250 - and both have given Seaway Printing unpresidential productivity gains - and of course, we had to see the splicers at work - now shared with you. Kevin & Ian Heslin (father and son) proudly speak about their company, and how they firmly believe in the future of print - very encouraging, to be honest! You will be surprised by HOW much increased productivity you can gain by investing in auto splicers - but see and listen for yourself.
Mexico is a super interesting market, and with the announcement of INKISH acquiring 50% of Revista El Impresor, business partner and CEO Nayelli G. Menendez and Editor Morten B. Reitoft chat about the market and opportunities. We also get a chance to see what to expect from the collaboration. We are excited, hope you are too, and are interested in working with us :-)
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!
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.
