Ultimate TechnoGraphics · Julie Watson · Hunkeler Innovationdays

In French with English subtitles. From several hours to sometimes a few minutes. It is 2023, but large PDF files received by some mailing or VDP (variable data printing) customers often still show anomalies in the weight of metadata, irrelevant to printing. So what to do? Do we wait or find other solutions to speed up the process? Julie tells us more. Enjoy! De plusieurs heures à parfois quelques minutes. On est bien 2023 mais de grands fichiers PDF reçu par certains clients du mailing ou du VDP (variable data printing) montrent souvent encore des anomalies au niveau du poids des données méta, irrelevant à l'impression. Alors que faire ? On attend, ou on trouve d'autres solutions pour accélérer les processus? Julie nous en dit plus. Enjoy!

Kern · Daniel Wenger · Hunkeler Innovationdays

Kern is one of the main players when it comes to inserting & mailing systems. The Hunkeler feeders will match the company color and can be had in Swiss red, or was it Ferrari red? Not sure if it has to reflect the speeds they obtain, but they are the only ones allowed to have a different color for the Hunkeler equipment that they integrate into their inserting lines. Good talk with Daniel Wenger about how Kern meets their customers' automation requirements.
