Patrik Knutsson · Organizing Print · PTPGE

In the first INKISH episode of 2025, Patrik Knutsson from Norway discusses his work in the printing industry. With a background rooted in a family printing business, Patrik Knutsson transitioned from running his own ventures, such as co-founding Copycat, a successful printing chain, to developing groundbreaking projects, Print.page. The conversation explores the industry’s ongoing challenges, particularly the difficulty of effectively communicating product specifications to customers in a predominantly digital era.
