Mike Horsten · AGFA · the VIGC talks from the drupa 2024 show floor

Interview in English – subtitles in Dutch.

Ook Agfa heeft er voor gekozen om zonder beursstand, dus beperkt aanwezig te zijn op Drupa. Een wat merkwaardige vaststelling voor velen, maar waarschijnlijk ingegeven door het feit dat ze sinds vorig jaar afscheid hebben genomen van hun Offsetdivisie. Ik ontmoet Mike Hosten dus op neutraal terrein waar we het hebben over zijn DPC onderdeel binnen de Agfa groep en hoe zij Drupa en de evoluties in het grafische speelveld verder vorm zien krijgen.

Agfa has also chosen to have a limited presence at Drupa without an exhibition booth. A somewhat strange observation for many, but probably due to the fact that they said goodbye to their Offset division last year. So I meet up with Mike Hosten on neutral ground where we talk about his DPC part within the Agfa group and how they see Drupa and the developments in the graphic playing field taking further shape.

Jean Lloyd from Inkish speaks with Kamina Pinto from Flexographica at LabelExpo 2025 in Barcelona. Kamina explains that Flexographica is based in Guatemala and has been in business for 28 years, primarily as a flexo label printer. However, in recent years, they have also started producing small-quantity stand-up pouches and adopted digital printing about 14 years ago. The company handles a mix of large flexo orders and many small digital ones to meet the diverse needs of its customers, focusing on delivering consistent high quality at competitive prices. She says she is at LabelExpo to explore new technologies, particularly inkjet, which she sees as offering more vivid colors and potential differentiation compared to other digital systems. In Guatemala, she notes, there has not been much investment in new digital technologies, and Flexographica aims to be the first mover so others will follow. Kamina emphasizes that brands don’t usually dictate technology—they expect excellent quality—so it’s up to her team to guide them on what’s possible. She adds that while there are many solutions on display at the show, choosing the right OEM partner is critical because digital equipment requires long-term support and stability, not just a low upfront price. She concludes that she is looking for technology that can help Flexographica stand out from competitors by offering something different rather than competing solely on price.
