Welcome to My Inkjet Journey with INKISH | Je...

Hi everyone, I'm Jean Lloyd. Just two months ago, you may have seen the buzz on social media about me joining the INKISH team. It's been an incredibly exciting start—and we're just getting warmed up. My mission is to dive deep into the evolving world of inkjet printing, especially as it grows across new regions and industries. I’ll focus on commercial printing, the three major packaging segments (flexible, folding carton, and corrugated), and, of course, labels—where some truly exciting innovations are happening. You can expect in-depth interviews, site visits, a closer look at cutting-edge technologies, and a commitment to fact-checking the “game-changing” claims we hear daily in this industry. With a background that includes sales, service, global consulting, training, and major innovations—like the first inkjet print mounted onto a Cutstar unit on a Heidelberg Speedmaster, leading to the first hybrid digital offset press—I’m here to ask the hard questions, highlight real stories, and explore what’s truly transforming our industry. Feel free to message us if you’re curious about a product or technology or have questions about a claim. We might investigate. Let’s explore, learn, and enjoy the journey together. Thanks for joining me.

Digital Embellishment, Design, & Dogs: A Live...

In this special live episode of Taktiful Tuesdays, we're coming straight from the Xerox Partner Summit in Las Vegas. I sat down with my longtime friend and Xerox legend Kelly Leahy—Senior Global Product Marketing Manager—to talk about everything from digital embellishment trends and the Genesis Initiative to the psychology of print, AI in design, and how print service providers can better educate their customers. We also dive into career growth, continuous learning, baseball tournaments, and dogs. If you're curious about where the print industry is headed, how digital embellishments can boost engagement, or just want to hear two print geeks talk shop (and dogs), you’re in the right place.

It’s all about the speed of the machine, the speed of the makeready, and the quality, and the Koenig & Bauer ticks all the boxes for the British packaging company Alexir Packaging.

Michael Poulin · Sr. Manager, Inkjet Soluti...

Michael Poulin has vast experience in Inkjet from his past with Canon and Kyocera - not Sr. Manager, Inkjet Solutions for Fujifilm. At Digital Disruption Reveal, Michael presents the Fujifilm J Press CFG1160 - a continuous-fed inkjet printer where the "g" is short for Graphic. The machine offers many new inventions, and among the brilliant inventions is the Paper Stabilizer that removes the need for pre-treated paper by warming up the paper and cooling it down to production temperature, which results in considerably less stress on the paper when it dries the print. Michael Poulin greatly explains the machine and technology, so dig in and learn!

Ricoh Pro VC80000 + Tecnau Revolution 50-seri...

The Pro VC80000 is an entirely new generation of high-speed inkjet from Ricoh - wholly built by Ricoh also means that the VC80000 has some major differences compared to previous machines, and that's exactly what we will be talking about in this video. Tim Taylor has worked with high-speed inkjet for over 20 years, but as he said, the VC80000 is the most fantastic machine he has worked on. Smaller footprint, high speed regardless of paper quality, and speaking of quality - simply stunning. Though not entirely the same, the Pro VC80000 has borrowed technology from its sister, the Pro Z75. Tim Taylor also discusses some software suites that make the Pro VC80000 even more efficient. The Pro VC80000 is installed with the new Tecnau Revolution 50-series variable cut-size line. As a visitor, it continuously amazes me how fast the machines are, and the output. Among the samples we looked at were the photos also printed at drupa - and it's difficult not to be astonished that it all is possible. Enjoy!

#LearnWithUs MIS · arifiQ · Carina Karlsso...

arifiQ started as an estimation tool in times when estimation took a while. Their claim was a quotation in less than a minute, and not only has arifiQ developed into a full MIS system, but calculations are now instant and offer an interesting approach to pricing, for example, an InDesign plug-in enabling the designers to get quotes based on the design, format, number of pages directly in InDesign - and even ordering directly as well. arifiQ can also make an estimate based on an uploaded PDF, where arifiQ takes the size and number of pages and matches this to a product - and return an instant price. The ideas are solidly based on in-depth knowledge of being printers themselves. The Swedish company started with domain knowledge and added programming to the solution - now globally available, also integrated into HP PrintOS and many other OEM workflow solutions. Enjoy the presentation! LinkedIn Profiles: Eva Rosén https://www.linkedin.com/in/eva-ros%C3%A9n-69375520/ Carina Karlsson https://www.linkedin.com/in/carina-karlsson/

#LearnWithUs MIS · CERM · Fran Boey & Steff...

CERM is by far one of the most thought-after MIS/ERP solutions among label converters - and as we have visited Converters who work with CERM, there is a reasonable reason for the choice. The demos are excellent, the software solves the challenges Converters have and then supports the product, and now the integration to Microsoft Power BI is giving customers options like never before. In this webinar, CERM has decided to focus on the BI functions and the 18 standard reporting tools provided in the optional solution. Fran Boey has a background in the BI-World, and guides us smoothly through how reports can be created, giving customers THE overview!

Leland Morgen takes us through the Durst Lift solution with ease and confidence. Leland has experience working with multiple ERP/MIS solutions, and during the presentation, it feels that Durst Lift is 'home' and, therefore, an answer that he can easily vouch for. Lift differs from other solutions, as almost the entire user interface is shared with customers, who can view orders, specify quantities, proof a project, and essentially do everything from a browser. Lift customers can use Lift for all types of job, but no question that Lift is developed with the product that Durst deliver in mind! LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lelandmorgan/

After a presentation and overview of PrintIQ, we get into the more interesting part of this session, where we see how PrintIQ addresses different topics differently from the other solutions - but see it for yourself - PrintIQ also looks like a nice software to consider :-) LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/craigpowell/

#thankaprinter

Ladies and Gentleman… #thankaprinter Please use the hashtag when sharing. Print Long and Prosper! And when the virus came, people turned to their leaders and their community and said: “We need to keep our families and our loved ones safe. We need to know how. We need somebody willing to get up at dawn in the cold, in the rain, in the blistering heat and open their doors so we may keep ours closed. Somebody who will work tirelessly, with ink-stained clothes and calloused hands to fire up the presses, to feed the paper, to fold and score and distribute hope.” So they called a Printer. And when supplies ran low, when our heath care heroes on the front-lines desperately needed protection, Printers forged facemasks, face shields and partitions and answered the call of their nations to help their citizens heal. They answered by reinventing and retooling and constructing 3D printed parts for respirators, breathing life into patients and hospitals and communities suffocating without . They answered the call to transform children and parents into students and teachers, and kitchen tables into classrooms … and cathedrals. They made the signs, the clings and the decals to arm their communities in the fight to stay open and distanced and educated. They sent the mail that delivered checks that kept food on the table and lights overhead, and protected packaged goods on the shelves in storerooms and backrooms and pantries. They worked in split shifts to keep us safe from harm while struggling to keep their doors open, not once asking for anything in return. When we look back, when we have distanced ourselves from this moment in time and are reunited with each other, let’s not forget to remember who stood, fearless, at the gate, and said this community, this family, this business won’t go down on my watch. Let us not forget to Thank a Printer. Written by Deborah Corn, Print Media Centr. Produced by INKISH and PrintMediaCentr. Video editing by Jan Majnik · INKISH

At the HP #PrintAhead event, visitors were invited for cake and champagne to celebrate a 1-billion pages milestone for the new Advantage T-2200 inkjet printer - a milestone - for sure, but 'only' part of a bigger story about how the digital transformation is changing the printing landscape forever. With Brilliant Ink, faster machines, and better drying, Senior Global Market Development Manager Marc Johnson sees HP as a front runner - and obviously both happy and proud about the milestones HP and its customers have achieved - very nice interview, enjoy!

2nd Show Report LabelExpo - Brussels, Belgium

After a slow start, LabelExpo took off, and for the people we spoke to, everything was great! The number of visitors, along with the quality, was two significant important comments. The media people we met in the Press Office were positive, though a few commented that there weren't that many new technological breakthroughs. I am not sure if that is 100% correct since shows don't only show products, but also represent trends. One of the more important trends at LabelExpo is the adaption of IoT and Industry 4.0. For many printers, this is most likely words with little resemblance, and we will, of course, tell more about what this is and how this can influence you as a printer.
