Editor Morten B. Reitoft from INKISH.TV was invited to Grafkom I/O to give a speech about "The Mystery of Prices" and though both sound and image quality isn't that good, we have decided to publish this anyway as a separate episode on INKISH.TV. The speech touches upon cost, market, and sales prices and why pricing is a mystery to some. One of the reasons is of course because all printers don't win all jobs and you can then speculate about your customer's loyalty, total market potential and other things in your pursuit of success.

Version 4 is a major update and gives you a lot of new great features. Let’s dig into some of them. First we found a few minor bugs that are now fixed but more important is of course some of the great features. Every time you see a paper name you can now swipe the paper name to the left and get some options for that paper depending on where you are in the app. The options are “View PDF” that will take you directly to the paper mill’s specification of the selected paper - really cool and important, so you can double check that our parameters are correct. Another nice option is to add the paper you are swiping to your list of favorite papers - makes it easy to build a list of your mostly used papers. In the calculator many new functions have been added - you can of course still choose between binding methods. When you select a product that CAN have more than 4 pages cover, you can now choose 6 or 8 pages and now specify the flap size accordingly. We have also added a drop down menu with some pre-defined formats making it faster and easier for you to select a format. When you save a calculation you will now also be directly asked if you would like to use your calculation to send an RFQ to one of your favorite printers. The only thing you will have to add is whether you print in color or b&w and if you need varnish, laminations, hot foils etc. It’s SO easy and SO nice to use INKISH.CALC for quotes and in V4 your printer can even send you a quote directly in the app - SO nice and so convenient. The offer will ALSO be send to you per mail. V4 also have a new function where your country’s merchants can be registered. This a paid-for-process and we are working on the merchants to become partners with us - but it’s even more convenient since you can narrow down you selection of papers, to papers actually available in your market. Of course you still have access to almost 30.000 types of paper - just click “All Paper” and you’ll have full access. Finally - wherever you are looking for paper we have now build in a search feature that can help you finding the paper you need. We hope you will enjoy V4.

INKISH have been covering both GraphExpo and PRINT® shows since 2015 and we have always enjoyed the shows a lot. This year will be even more exciting for us since we have been recognized as Media Partner and will do our best to support PRINT®18 both before, during, and after the event. We will share information about the event. We will talk to exhibitors about what to expect, and hopefully, more that can encourage YOU to go. We like the concept of getting together, learn from each other and explore new technology, new consumables, and new constellations. We hope to see you in Chicago September 30th-October2nd 2018.

Sometimes we like to underplay communication and maybe Seth Godin sometimes would like to be recognized for more than his 'Purple Cow' book that has become a tremendously important book for many people. Seth Godin is one of the speakers at PRINT®18 in Chicago and this is just a little tribute to both APTech for getting Seth Godin to Chicago and also a tribute to Seth Godin for his important work.

Grakom indbyder i samarbejde med Medit Consult til årets tekniske konference med oplæg fra en række danske og internationale fagspecialister. De senere år har vi været vidne til banebrydende forretningskoncepter, der grundlæggende tilbyder grafiske produkter, men som har vendt op og ned på den grafiske branche. De mest banebrydende grafiske forretningskoncepter baserer sig på et gennemautomatiseret workflow. Den grafiske branche har være udsat for disruption længe før, det ord blev daglig tale. Intet af det var imidlertid blevet realiseret, hvis ikke en lang række processer var blevet automatiseret. På konferencens indlæg belyses det forretningsmæssige potentiale af professionelle forretningsudviklere, krydret med cases fra virksomheder der har gjort det i praksis. Sideløbende ser konferencen indad i den grafiske virksomhed og sætter klassiske optimeringsgevinster som effektivisering, fejlminimering og kvalitetssikring i nyt lys. INKISH er mediapartner og vil dække konferencen. Læs mere og tilmeld dig på: http://grakom.dk/auto
