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!
Blankets may not be as sexy as new machines, but they are essential to the quality of the production. General Manager Jens Brandt was pleased when INKISH reached out to him to talk about Kinyo’s blankets and the company, and more importantly, why it’s essential to have high-quality blankets. Enjoy the interview :-)
It's been 2 years since the last IST UV-DAYS, and back in 2023, the event attracted a thousand attendees over three days, and the expectations are the same for the 2025 edition. Managing Director Tim Sterbak from IST Metz, the organizer, is anticipating a great event with many technology discussions, furthering partnerships, and business opportunities for the attendees. About 30 exhibitors are showing everything from print, inks, blankets, and integrations with IST curing solutions. INKISH will be there, and before the show, we have invited all exhibitors to join editor Morten B. Reitoft for a free interview teasing the event. We hope to see you there!
In the past few days, Lewis Evans has received many views and likes as he documented how a Chinese supplier at FESPA was subpoenaed. Already at drupa, the Chinese supplier recognized the illegal use of the patent from Vivid Technologies, and though Vivid and the supplier agreed to stop abusing the technology, they continued, and something had to be done. Watch the interview between Lewis Evans and Editor Morten B. Reitoft - important information for PSPs.
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.
