What happens when AI, autonomous systems, and print production begin to merge? In this deep and highly philosophical conversation, Editor Morten B. Reitoft from INKISH speaks with Christoph Gamper from DURST about the future of print, automation, software, and human interaction with technology. Recorded at Expográfica in Guadalajara, the interview moves far beyond machinery and production equipment into questions about how value will be created in the future, how AI agents may negotiate production automatically, and why the next generation of print manufacturing could become increasingly autonomous. Christoph Gamper explains why he believes print production will evolve toward “lights-out” manufacturing environments, where human roles shift from manual operation toward orchestration, architecture, and decision-making. The discussion explores labor shortages, autonomous logistics, AI-driven workflows, and why the future may depend less on closed software ecosystems and more on open, hardware-agnostic systems capable of dynamically connecting entire production environments. The conversation also introduces DURST’s vision behind “Kyveris,” a concept Christoph Gamper describes as a connection between human knowledge and AI-driven systems designed to create value for real people. Rather than focusing on software lock-ins or isolated ecosystems, the discussion centers on how decades of industrial knowledge can be translated into intelligent systems that help printers optimize production, improve efficiency, and rethink how print businesses operate. This is not simply a discussion about presses or automation. It is a conversation about leadership, technological optimism, the role of AI in manufacturing, and how the print industry may fundamentally change over the next decade.
