A laminator debut and two laminator workhorses on display with Graphic Whizard - and, as usual, a Chris Harrington that presents the machines, so we easily understand the differences. It was first later the same day that I realized that Harrington started many years ago as a technician and, therefore, has the same passion for diving deep into his and competitors' products. As usual, filming with Chris Harrington, and the Micro (new) and the two other laminators seem to be a good fit for many, so check them out - here on INKISH.
It was super lovely talking to Lisa Weese, who shared insights on bringing products to market. Imagine setting the right price point, marketing into channels, providing service, and all the things that make a product available when ready to be launched—genuinely great to learn from Weese, so enjoy!
EMT International has success, and as we approach the booth, it is full of people, all demanding samples of what we later understand is found, fed, and delivered back to the ocean. This is interesting to learn from, so here we go! LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jmichaelherold/
Ultimate Tech was the first company in the industry to use computers for imposition, and the signature software, Impostrip, is used globally by thousands of companies. In the past years, Ultimate Tech has developed products for binderies and large-format, and here at PRINTING United, the company shows its BestCut solution, helping operators optimize the guillotine work. As always super interesting listening to CEO Julie Watson.
30 years ago, Tom Ling, now President and CEO of Advantage Colorgraphics, got into a mailbox company - and as he said, he has lived the American Dream and today operates an 800+ people company. The Mailboxes became Direct Mail, and when we ask him about a defining moment, he talks about the decision to invest in sheet offset. 30 years later, Advantage Colorgraphics has acquired numerous companies, invested in web-offset, Xerox, and HP toner technology, and now Tom Ling has not only one Landa S10P but also an S11P. He is VERY pleased with his Landa's and explains how they are a perfect fit for his diverse production - but listen for yourself :-)
