Live

Tonya Powers wraps up our two hours LIVE broadcast from the Canon Solutions America booth at PRINTING United. The exciting thing, which wasn't an agreed 'mission' for the show, was that all independently spoke about partnerships. Even Perry Fernandes from PCI Group, who is a customer, spoke about Canon Solutions America as a partner. Having a "partners" approach is, in our opinion, great, and a massive commitment to your customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders. It requires an openness and an objective to create success for everybody in that value chain. It's of course, always difficult for an outsider to judge whether Canon Solutions America can deliver on this. Still, I must say that I find it quite intriguing to have this approach, and working with high ambitions makes it more fun to go to work daily. I like this interview, so watch, and let me know what you think, as well!

At PRINTING United we did 2 hours LIVE TV daily, and October 24th was dedicated to the great people from CHILI Publish. During the day we got interviews with the people from the booth, but also a chance to get a presentation of the software by Solutions Expert Sean Crowe. Here is the first one, where editor Morten Reitoft from INKISH.TV is getting a quick tour, including walk-through of some of the new features. Excellent presentation, great software, and whau - awe-inspiring.

PRINTING United is, of course, about products, services, and network, but it's also about knowledge, sharing, learning, education, and sales. At PRINTING United we broadcasted LIVE from CHILI-Publisher's booth October 24th which was really cool. One of the inspiring people we spoke with was Director of Sales Operations, Seth Kane. In this film, he envisions the potential of CHILI in north-America, and we really liked talking with him, but dig in, and listen for yourselves.

CHILI-Publish is maybe one of the worlds leading software when it comes to online mass-customization, and we are so happy that we are broadcasting LIVE from CHILI-Publisher. Not only will it give you an insight into the product, but also to get to know the people behind the company. In this film with Global Vice President Sales & Alliances, Fabian Prudhomme introduces us to CHILI. Enjoy and see the other interviews with Fabian Prudhomme as well.

Understanding the go-to-market approach by vendors may make it easier for most to understand the value proposition. In this interview, Global VP Sales and Alliances, Fabian Prudhomme explains how CHILI address future prospects. Actually quite interesting, and the amazing part is the vast value that CHILI-Publish apparently gives the customers who understand it. Remember to watch the two demos.

One of the best ways to learn is to experience. Here you'll see a LIVE presentation of Entourage Yearbooks, a US-based Yearbooks producer. Using CHILI-Publisher as engine enables the company to deliver a great user experience to the users and enables them to produce complex yearbooks online. Watch the demo and get an insight into the how-to.

Every company, of course, have a go-to-market strategy. In this film Fabian Prudhomme from CHILI Publish explains how they use various channels to market CHILI Publisher. The interesting part is, of course, also how important the various types of partners are for CHILI. Fabian Prudhomme has a broad background in the printing industry where he has had positions like VP for Enfocus, worked for Kodak, and have a great insight in the value-chain in the industry. Listen, and learn!

At PRINTING United INKISH was broadcasting daily. On October 24th, we spend the day with CHILI Publish trying to understand more about their products, services, and offerings. Spending time with specialists gives you a deeper insight, and therefore it's a pleasure to welcome Gabriel Flippo here on INKISH.TV where he talks about customers, and what kind of products/services they use CHILI Publisher for.

Keypoint Intelligence and INKISH have a lot in common. As Ron Gilboa, Group Director of Keypoint Intelligence, former Infotrends explain, we are in the educational business. Of course, Keypoint Intelligence educates on a much higher level, but we, of course, like the comparison. Ron Gilboa manages a team of highly skilled specialist doing research and analysis of digital printing technologies. Ron Gilboa himself works with textile and wide-format technology. We caught up with him after one of his speeches at PRINTING United. Enjoy!

At PRINTING United 2019 INKISH broadcasted LIVE from various booths Friday 25th. It's always a challenge, but likely more a problem to be so successful that all leaflets and marketing materials were gone. We got a chance to talk to CEO Michał Czaicki from Printbox from the booth and here is the interview from what seems to be both a successful company appreciating a very successful tradeshow. Enjoy.

At PRINTING United INKISH delivered more than 30 interviews. One of them was with our friends from Mindfire in California. In this interview, Executive Vice President Joe Manos explains the value of working together with Mindfire. Mindfire has developed a software platform enabling its customers to manage campaigns, social media, and lead generation in a very intuitive way. As Joe Manos also mentions in the interview, Mindfire even offers marketing services, so customers can use Mindfire as a one-stop-solution.

At PRINTING United in Dallas INKISH.TV broadcasted LIVE from the show floor. Two of our very good friends are Frazer Chesterman and Marcus Timson. Both are well known in the printing industry. Both have been heavily involved in developing and execution of trade shows like InPrint, FESPA, and other shows. Now Frazer Chesterman and Marcus Timson are working on a new project called FM Future. In this interview, Frazer Chesterman talks over the doings of the new company, so dig in and listen to what the two chaps have to say!

At PRINTING United INKISH delivered a vast number of interviews. One of these interviews was with Senior Vice President Erik Holdo from Konica Minolta. A very smiling and happy Erik Holdo talks over some of the new solutions presented by Konica Minolta and MGI. One of the things Erik Holdo talks about is the very thin UV-varnish on the MGI JetVarnish 3D One, the new packaging printer 675i enables printers to do short-run packaging with aqueous-print, and of course, we also got the chance to touch upon the AlphaJET. Enjoy the interview.

PRINTING United must have been a good show for RISO. At the show they presented the new RISO Valezus - to understand what the name actually stands for, you'll have to watch the film. However, we can reveal that Valezus is a 320 pages per minute full-colour inkjet printer. At the show, RISO sold quite a few machines and seemed very satisfied with everything. RISO is a Japanese vendor and has for many years been a leader in cut-sheet inkjet print - you can argue that inkjet is part of RISO's DNA. Enjoy the interview with André D'Urbano.

At PRINTING United INKISH did more than 30 interviews in total. The one with Jason Hamilton from AGFA was quite interesting. Jason Hamilton is a Solutions Architect from AGFA, and of course, he will be meeting many different customers. In the interview, he tells that for AGFA, the customers will get recommendation on competitor-solutions in case AGFA can't deliver the right solution themselves. We believe this is one of the best approaches to customers, and we are even convinced that customers will choose AGFA over any supplier with this approach. Enjoy the interview!

Xerox was located quite far away from some of the other vendors at PRINTING United, so we apologize for the entrance editor Morten Reitoft has in the interview. Nevertheless, Chris Irick from Xerox is in place and ready to talk about the great technologies that Xerox offers. Though Chris Irick is responsible for the inkjet business, he is so kind to show us some of the great samples of the Iridess 6-color digital printer as well as some of the great samples showcasing neon yellow colours. But see for yourself and enjoy.

The Keynote at the recent PrintNext19 was held by Joakim Jardenberg - GREAT presentation with great inputs and considerations. Enjoy this almost 40 minutes presentation!

Andreas Lind is the CEO of Visual Art Group who has specialized in digital signage. In this presentation, you will get a great insight into this market and you will maybe even think this is a market that could be interesting for you - watch, like, and share - as usual.

For many Scandinavian print buyers, the Baltics has been an interesting market to work in and for many printing companies, the Baltic printing industry has been a challenge due to lower prices and tough competition. At PrintNext19, Katra Savi from Association of Estonian printers talks​ about the market and how they are focusing more on quality than price. Katre Savi is accompanied by two Account Managers from the Estonian printing company K-Print who share their insight in the work in especially the Swedish market - Actually a great presentation!

Papirfly pronounced Paper Fly is an extremely successful Norwegian company that streamlines the design processes for companies. With Papirfly - an online solution - all employees can manage everything from flyers, brochures, catalogs, to online assets. With companies such as DVS, El-kjøp, IBM, and more prominent international customers Papirfly for sure seems to have found a formula​ for success.

At PrintNext18 Alexander Jute from Marlaw gave a great presentation on GDPR and at PrintNext19 he not only gave an update and status on GDPR but also information that can help you in the valuation of your company. Great presentation!

The Swedish Federation of Printers organize 400+ printing companies in Sweden and part of the work CEO Ravindra Parasnis has done is an intensive research work about "Who makes money in the printing industry." With data from more than 2.000 companies over 7 years, the data is quite comprehensive. At PrintNext19 Ravindra Parasnis gave an update and status of the Swedish printing industry - it's very interesting and if you choose to download the presentation on INKISH.TV you can see also the changes from the previous report. Though this is data from Sweden, the results and the trends probably are very similar in most western countries. VERY interesting and something that the global print-industry should be very interested in! Watch, Like, and Share.

Peter Berg from McKinsey & Company is a global expert in Pulp and Paper. At PrintNext19 he gave an amazing speech over why Paper Prices are increasing in time with decreasing demand. Understanding how paper mills are changing from one product to another product and how the pricing influences which mills changes are​ fascinating learning, and we believe that some of this info will be new to many viewers. This is a MUST see speech!
