250+ Materials, Endless Possibilities · Falkon Kazakos & Seth Hirdes · Probo · FLOW 2026
What happens when you bring the printing industry together inside one of Europe’s most impressive print production environments?
At FLOW 2026 in Bad Hersfeld, Falkon Kazakos and Seth Hirdes take us inside Probo, the host of an event bringing together printing professionals, technology providers, automation specialists, and the next generation of industry talent.
Organized by INKISH in collaboration with Probo, FLOW is about much more than software and robotics. It’s about connecting people, sharing ideas, discussing real production challenges, and discovering how different technologies can work together to create one continuous production flow.
And Probo itself is an important part of that story.
With more than 250 different materials available, Probo demonstrates how industrial-scale print production and creativity can work hand in hand. From everyday print products to imaginative applications, the possibilities are limited more by imagination than by technology.
Falkon and Seth also highlight something equally important: the value of bringing people together. Whether you’re an experienced printing professional, a technology specialist, or a student discovering the industry, FLOW offers opportunities to learn, connect, and find inspiration.
A look at the people, atmosphere, and production environment behind FLOW 2026, with a message to the next generation: You are the future!

One ERP, Endless Possibilities – Connecting...
What if your printing company could connect all its software systems into one seamless workflow without having to replace the tools that already work? At FLOW 2026 in Bad Hersfeld, Pat McGrew meets Luca Rieser from Obility to explore how modern ERP technology can simplify print production, eliminate unnecessary manual processes, and bring different systems together. Obility approaches print automation with a modular philosophy. Combining ERP functionality, web-to-print shops, and workflow automation, the platform is designed to manage production processes while remaining open to third-party applications, custom-developed solutions, and existing software investments. For printers running ten or twelve separate applications, the challenge isn't necessarily finding more software. It's making everything work together. Luca explains how Obility helps reduce complexity, connect disconnected processes, and create workflows where information moves automatically from one step to the next. And there's an important human perspective: automation isn't about replacing employees. It's about removing repetitive work and enabling people to focus on tasks that create more value. Implementation depends on the complexity of the business. Standard configurations can typically be introduced within two to six months, while larger, highly customized projects may develop into long-term partnerships as companies continuously discover new opportunities for optimization. A practical conversation about flexibility, integration, and why the future of print automation isn't necessarily one system doing everything, but different technologies working together as though they were one.
