One of the most amazing things about visiting PrintPack India is an amazing belief in the future. Everybody talks about growth and this leads to great optimism also from vendors. Yesterday, we attended a dinner and cocktail party sponsored by APTech and ProVin. Leader after leader from both Japanese and Indian companies expressed satisfaction over the trends and, of course, the signed deals. We will during the next day's present interviews with various people from the show. Stay tuned and we will for sure give you a small taste of PrintPack and India.

Join in on our interview with Davy Verstaen as he delves into the critical necessity of connecting various systems, both large and small, and across multiple brands. This is where Enfocus is playing an increasingly vital role. It is paramount to ensure that expensive investments and equipment are fully utilized through a seamless, bottleneck-free workflow. With over 300 apps now available in their own App Store, it's no coincidence that they are present, as “Connect" is the theme of the Hunkeler Innovation Days 2025.

At Canon's Power to Move event in Venlo, Morten Reitoft speaks with Davy Verstaen from Enfocus about one of the hottest topics in the printing industry today: how AI, workflow automation, and mass customization are finally coming together to create real business opportunities. While many companies talk about personalization and mass customization, Verstaen demonstrates how to implement these concepts today using Enfocus Switch, AI-powered content generation, and integrated production workflows. Visitors to the Canon event receive highly personalized products, including posters, postcards, and AI-generated storybooks, all produced through automated workflows that combine technologies from Canon, Enfocus, XMPie, Onyx, and other partners. The conversation explores the practical realities behind AI-driven production. While the programming itself can often be completed surprisingly quickly, the real challenge lies in prompt engineering, consistency management, and the creation of repeatable processes that deliver predictable results at production scale. Verstaen shares how months of refinement and testing were required to ensure that AI-generated content consistently met quality expectations. Beyond the demonstration itself, the discussion examines how workflow automation is evolving from traditional rule-based systems toward intelligent automation. Increasingly, printers are connecting Enfocus Switch with AI platforms to automate tasks such as order processing, data extraction, job preparation, and workflow orchestration. Rather than replacing existing automation systems, AI is becoming an additional layer that helps organizations handle more complex and variable processes. The interview also addresses the economics of AI, the role of third-party integrations, and the opportunities available to printers willing to embrace new technologies. For Verstaen, the combination of workflow automation, AI, and personalization represents one of the most exciting developments the industry has seen in years. This is a fascinating conversation about moving from talking about mass customization to actually producing it.

Wayne talks to David from MPRINT about adding digital elements to analog printing. MPRINT offer a retrofit digital system that can offer variable data to standard label printing systems.

Why would you need HTML to PDF technology, or Javascript, in print production workflows.

Interview in English - Dutch subtitles. Good introduction to Logica, and it's “MES” - Manufacturing Execution System. Different to MIS or ERP , it is a comprehensive, dynamic production system in which your production processes from raw material to end product are monitored, traced, documented and controlled. The all-important OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) is the result of the exercise. David Triulzi explains more. -- NL -- Goede introductie tot Logica, en het is "MES" - Manufacturing Execution System. Ietwat anders dan MIS of ERP is het een uitgebreid, dynamisch productiesysteem waarin uw productieprocessen van grondstof tot eindproduct worden gemonitord, getraceerd, gedocumenteerd en gecontroleerd. De allerbelangrijke OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) is het resultaat van de oefening. David Triulzi geeft meer uitleg.

In the suburbs of Bologna, the Italian vendor LOGICA recently moved to a new HQ. LOGICA has specialized in developing software bridging data from production to MIS systems, enabling printers to get a better overview of production and identify bottlenecks. In this 'Conversations,' International Sales & Marketing Director David Triulzi explains how the company started and the value of using LOGICA's products and services. David Triulzi points with particular emphasis on the company's ability to use data from analog equipment by converting mechanical data into electronic data. The other is the openness LOGICA has to integrate with MIS partners and hardware partners that integrate LOGICAs solutions into their products. Enjoy! David Triulzi LinkedIn profile.

Always fascinating talking to David Spencer, the CEO of Spencer Metrics. The company has specialized in capturing data from printing devices - analog and digital - to give the company and its users metrics to navigate from. Spencer Metrics exhibit at Hunkeler Innovationdays #HID25 and gather live data from various machines to show you the value of their solutions. Super interesting!

David Silbiger of US converter Coast2Coast Label used to specialize in printing telephone cards. When it redeployed its narrow web presses to handle label production, the company realized it needed an industry-specialized workflow system and turned to CERM.

David Schmedding is Heidelberg's CSO. In this interview with Editor Morten B. Reitoft, they talk about sales, Heidelberg's new confidence, partnerships, anniversary, and the future. I hope you like the very open-minded interview!

CTO and member of the Board at Heidelberg are visiting Hunkeler Innovationdays for the first time, and he is impressed. Not only about the entire show but, of course, also because Heidelberg, together with Müller Martini, is showing a really fantastic setup of production of books.

At the Print Summit in Murnau, Southern Germany, Morten Reitoft speaks with David Schmedding from Heidelberg about the challenges and opportunities facing the global print industry. As one of the sponsors of the event, Heidelberg supports initiatives like the “Danger Zone,” where printers, suppliers, and industry experts openly discuss market pressures, creativity, and the future of print. The conversation touches on everything from hypothetical supply chain crises to the need for stronger industry collaboration and more visible marketing of print’s value. Schmedding highlights how events like this create the right spirit for the industry, bringing together printers, manufacturers, and suppliers to inspire new ideas and make print more tangible and relevant. Both agree that the industry must become better at communicating the emotional, physical, and branding power of print to new audiences and customers.

David talks to Wayne about Kongsberg's latest product developments and how the company continues to innovate its automation solutions to meet growing customer demand for faster workflows, increased productivity, and smarter finishing operations.

David Pittman is the editor of Digital Labels & Packaging. In this, Over the Skype session he and editor Morten Reitoft talk about the importance of both tradeshows, trade media, and how sometimes trade media's importance is maybe slightly undervalued. As with all our ‘Over the Skype’ interviews, quality is limited to bandwidth, web-cams, and ability to literally LIVE mix the conversations. However, it works, and with Over the Skype, we will bring you more than 20 exciting people, and angles on the industry as it is right now. Enjoy!

At PRINTING United 2026 in Las Vegas, Morten B. Reitoft meets David Palmieri, CEO and owner of CGS ORIS Americas, in front of something difficult to overlook — the new Platinum Technologies Signature 5 Meter roll-to-roll printer. For many, a five-meter printer immediately means billboards, massive banners, and other super-wide applications. And of course, the Signature 5 Meter is designed for exactly that. But David points to another interesting opportunity: using the width for multiple rolls and multiple jobs simultaneously. That means a printer currently operating a fleet of narrower roll-fed devices could consolidate production onto a single, significantly more productive platform — while also gaining the ability to produce applications that simply weren't possible before. The Signature 5 Meter uses UV-LED technology and can be configured with up to 60 printheads across six rows. Different ink configurations, including specialty and neon colors, give PSPs additional opportunities beyond conventional CMYK production, while inline slitting can separate wider production into finished individual rolls. Another important feature is automated cleaning, reducing some of the maintenance normally associated with operating such a large number of printheads. For David, the launch also represents how CGS ORIS Americas itself is evolving. Traditionally known throughout the industry for color management and software, the company is expanding further into production hardware through its partnership with Platinum Technologies. And judging from the response in Las Vegas, wide-format printers are interested. David describes a very strong opening day at PRINTING United, with equipment already sold and serious discussions underway around the new five-meter platform. Sometimes bigger really does create more opportunities. Watch Morten B. Reitoft's conversation with David Palmieri from CGS ORIS Americas at PRINTING United 2026 in Las Vegas.

As always, great catching up with David Lowe. In the chat with Editor Morten B. Reitoft, he offers an excellent view of the work that goes into organizing an event like CONNECT. We talk about how software on such a broad palette is marketed, and how a customer can pick the right combination of tracks to learn the most. And much more, obviously. Jump in, and enjoy the conversation!

One of my favorite books brings to life the time when Johannes Gutenberg was alive. And what he accomplished and what he did. This was a real, true revolutionary time. Sort of like we're living through now. Which started, of course, back in the year 2000 with the dot-com bubble. So this is the Gutenberg Bible. And it - sorry, it's not a Gutenberg Bible. Gutenberg has been a big part of Markzware. Gutenberg would have probably used FlightCheck. Because quality control was obviously a big issue. Even back then. People don't realize who really Tesla is, I don't think still. To be able to reproduce those and get them in the hands with democratized content. To get into the hands of the average layman. The historical side having a Bible that's from 1800. Where you can see how they printed, how they hand wove and bound it together. It's amazing. And then another side is just like - I still to this day, if I open it up and I look deep in the in the crease I can find like a hair. I found like a sewing pin from, you know, who knows, 1800-something, you know. So my passion for all this stuff, for print is just that it's amazing to be able to pick up a book and read what someone wrote. And they can spread that to thousands of people just with the press of a button nowadays in the Internet, you know. So FlightCheck is our flagship product. This is a product that Patrick Marchese and Ronald Crandall got a US patent on. It was an immediate hit because back then, you know, there was no PDF. We're redeveloping FlightCheck. And if you like the beta test, the new version, please send email to sales@markzware.com. Without video, who knows where we would have been. biteable.com did a survey. And sixty percent of business owners now use video. Video is an easy way to get to digest information. The YouTube network is huge. And if you can get in there, it's just amazing. How to embed an Illustrator file in InDesign. Or how to fix a PDF. Or how to recover my corrupted design file. YouTube in general, it's just been amazing to help people.

In this interview with David Dilling from Markzware, we learn about the new Markzware portal that enables conversions of different formats online. You may think this is less important today, as many formats already are inter-exchangeable, but that is not the case; with Markzware, you get options to convert to and from some of the most used graphical applications in the market - but you also have the option to get your PDF files pre-flighted for more accessible print and handling - but listen to David Dilling and enjoy the next almost half an hour!

Wayne from INKISH is at The Print Show at the NEC in Birmingham, where he catches up with David Bunker from Compass Business Finance. David has been a familiar face at trade shows for many years, and he shares his thoughts on the lively first day of the show. He explains that Compass is celebrating 20 years in business, having grown from small beginnings into a company that both lends its own money and works with around 25 different lenders to provide flexible financing options for print companies, PSPs, and converters. David highlights that, unlike going directly to a single bank, Compass can match each customer’s needs with the right lender, offering multiple options and solutions tailored to different types of investments. He stresses that it’s not only about securing the best rate but about finding the best commercial option that aligns with a customer’s long-term plans. When discussing how printers typically engage with Compass, David explains that smaller equipment purchases often come through supplier referrals or straightforward finance requests. At the same time, larger, million-pound-plus investments usually involve earlier discussions and long-term planning. Trade shows like The Print Show provide an ideal setting for those conversations to begin. He also discusses how asset depreciation impacts financing options, noting that traditional presses, such as a ten-colour Heidelberg B1, have different financial considerations compared to high-depreciation inkjet devices. To address this, Compass collaborates with initiatives such as the UK Growth Guarantee Scheme, a continuation of government-backed schemes designed to support lending, thereby giving businesses more confidence in financing equipment even during uncertain times. David emphasizes that while the print industry has faced challenges from COVID, rising costs, and market uncertainty, there is still strong momentum for investment and growth. Compass is focused on helping businesses access the right financial products to make those investments possible. A clear and practical conversation about financing in the print industry, recorded live at The Print Show in Birmingham.
