Kyocera is a well-known name in the graphics arts industry, yet was the introduction of a production cut-sheet inkjet printer a surprise to many. How long time does it take to get market acceptance? When will customers start to invest in technology from a "new" vendor? And what is the result of these investments? Many questions and one of the companies who took on the investment is the family-owned printing company Verloop Drukkerij. In this film, Operational Director Gertjan Kleinbloesem openly explains the considerations - and even more important how the TASKalfa fits into their operation. And he is positive. The TASKalfa delivers on both quality, consistency, service, and reliability the TASKalfa delivers. Enjoy the film!

Edelmann Group has recently invested in a new Steinemann DPE machine that enables the company to do short-run foils and varnish and develop applications not possible in an analog environment. In this film, Global Business Development Manager Wolfram Hahn explains some of the challenges and demands from customers and how the company addresses these challenges. One of the things that surprised your INKISH team was meeting a company with such a dedicated focus on hair-nuances and colors - but when you see the packaging from well-known hair-products, we, of course, understand why :-) LinkedIn Profile

Golan Landsberg is the Head of Product Development at HP Indigo, and in this film, we meet him in the V12 lab. Interesting to see the iterations of machines but also the openness to a world now known by most. In the film, Golan Landsberg explains why he believes HP Electro ink, known from the Indigo machines, is superior in quality and speed. Interesting perspectives and we are excited to give you this story! A huge thank you to the HP Indigo team for opening your doors in Israel!

In this INKISH film, we visit TRESU and talk to VP, Ancillary & Global Customer Care, Henrik Kristensen & VP, Solutions, Ronni Nielsen.

CEO Slava Apel from Amazing Print Tech is known for many roles in the printing industry and in this film, you will get an idea about his doings - and there is a lot. We met him at Print®18 in Chicago where he had at least two roles. One role was as the exhibitor of his award-winning software company Amazing Print Tech, and second as a speaker at one of the educational tracks. Slava Apel is an author, a speaker, a business developer, a consultant, and a true entrepreneur in the best meaning, and when you listen to his doings, you can't avoid being impressed. The list of things that he manages to accomplish is amazing. Visiting multiple printing companies. Writing several books. Leading a software company, and from my follow of Slava Apel on LinkedIn, he is also active in his local business community. Watch, listen, like, and of course, share.

Web-to-Print have dominated the headlines in the printing industry for many years now. When the most successful printers in the industry use web-to-print to both grow and earn money even the smaller ones, of course, look into this new segment. Even influencers like Bernd Zipper from Beyond Print/ZipCon has almost made this into a crusade and has recently expressed that most printers will have to use web-to-print as part of their offerings. One of the successful companies in the relatively crowded market is Design'N'Buy, and at the recent PrintPack India, we got the chance to talk to CEO Nidhi Agrawal. Listen to her. She is one of the pioneers in the web-to-print industry and continues to see growth for both her and the industry.

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.

Ulf Sunnberg is the second of the 3 persons behind Grakom - the event maker in Stockholm, who is responsible for Grafkom, Grakom I/O and now Print Next. Actually, Ulf Sunnberg was the founder of Grafkom and the entire concept of sharing knowledge. We, therefore, also tease him asking whether Grafkom originally was a lead generator for Ulf Sunnberg's consultancy business - and of course, this was also the case then - but today Grafkom is turning into a professional business with its own life and identity. INKISH support the Swedish event and have sent several hours of content from the past five events. We believe that the values founded in Grafkom are VERY similar to the ones we have with INKISH. Enjoy!

Six years ago, Oliver Kray got a vision. "Everything will be mobile", and based on that vision, he founded MyPostcards.com, which today is one of the leading personalized postcard suppliers - and no, this is not in batches of ten, fifteen, or hundreds - this is in the counts of one. In the beginning, it wasn't easy to find printers who found this idea really great, but today MyPostcards is among the worlds biggest and with an office in both Berlin and New York today able to deliver individualized postcards globally. Enjoy the story. This guy started only six years ago, but with the right go-to attitude and entrepreneurship, he got his vision into a thriving business.

At Printpack India 2025, Wayne Beckett from Inkish wraps up the final day of an incredible exhibition by speaking with Naresh Khanna, owner of Indian Printer & Publisher (IPP). Reflecting on a week filled with industry insights, cutting-edge technology, and promising business developments, both discuss the evolving role of Printpack India within the global print and packaging industry. Naresh Khanna highlights India's robust and resilient printing and packaging sectors, attributing the event’s success to the country’s strong economy and industrial growth. He notes that while Printpack India remains a premier event, the market is becoming more fragmented. Specialized regional shows, such as dedicated events for labels, plastics, and specific printing technologies, are emerging across different states. The conversation shifts to the rapid development of the Noida region, particularly Uttar Pradesh. With its massive population and rising industrialization, Uttar Pradesh drives significant demand for printed materials. As infrastructure expands—including a new airport being built by Swiss developers—the potential for growth in printing and packaging remains vast. Projections for Printpack India 2027 aim for an additional 40,000 square meters of exhibition space, and visitor numbers could reach 180,000-190,000, but Naresh Khanna remains skeptical. While new permanent halls are planned, challenges remain, including infrastructure limitations, shifting industry specialization, and changing business dynamics, where companies increasingly invite customers directly to their factories instead of showcasing at exhibitions. Despite this, both agree on the irreplaceable value of exhibitions—not just for major brands like Heidelberg, Komori, and Canon but also for small innovators who provide unique solutions that can significantly impact businesses. Printpack India continues to serve as a vital marketplace for discovering new technologies, fostering partnerships, and exploring the future of print in one of the world’s fastest-growing economies. As the event concludes, Wayne Beckett thanks Naresh Khanna and his team for their collaboration throughout the week. He looks forward to continuing to engage in this dynamic and evolving industry.

At the recent Print Pack India exhibition, we met with CEO Hannes Rogler from Rogler Software. The company develops MIS/ERP software that enables printing companies to price, plan, and execute print jobs. With an installed base of users throughout Europe, the company is now expanding into the Indian market, which is why we met with Hannes Rogler in Greater Noida in India. As usual, please watch, like, share, and of course, enjoy!

When Landa presented the new series of Landa presses at the drupa 2012 already ten years was into the development of the technology. With 20 years in R&D, limited sales, and very close communication, I asked Innovation Coach Eddy Hagen to join me in a chat about the Landa Promises. Eddy Hagen has in a series of articles criticizing both quality and speed - both measures are important, but speed is extremely important when it comes to the expected ROIs. Since Nanography and Landa were introduced at the drupa 2012, the market has undergone tremendous changes. Competition has caught up on many of the Landa promises, and yet Landa has not reached the specs. promised back at drupa 2012/2016 - on the contrary, the expectations have for now been lowered. Enjoy the conversation. https://www.insights4print.ceo/

Few people have been involved more in Inkjet than Randy Vandagriff, and in this session, we get an excellent opportunity to learn from Randy. Randy Vandagriff has led the R&D team at Kodak involved in technologies including Versamark, Kodak Stream, Ultrastream and probably one of the most experienced people in inkjet. Randy Vandagriff is today, Senior Vice President of Kodak's Digital Print Business. However, in this session, hosts Jean Lloyd and Morten B. Reitoft get the chance to talk to Randy about the history, the present, and, more importantly, the future of inkjet. Everybody talks about inkjet replacing analog technologies. Are we there yet, or what will be the most critical technical and business developments to get there?

Solopress in the UK is in many ways a first-mover in the printing industry - and being the first HP T-250 Wide page customer in Europe, it's, of course, interesting to hear what Managing Director Simon Cooper has to say about the investment. Solopress is a commercial printing company, and with HP's new Brilliant Ink and highspeed inkjet, Solopress now takes a huge step in offering print that would have been printed on analog equipment in the past. Interesting times, ladies and gentlemen. This film was part of our Learn With Us Inkjet. Enjoy!

Franz Kriechbaum is the CEO of manroland GOSS, and as we speak to him in this interview, the future looks bright. Good order books, a clear strategy, and a profitable future on new and refurbishing machines in the market, including competing brands. Also, a move into packaging is among the ingredients that manroland GOSS has in the pipeline for its future. Franz Kriechbaum also talks about how manroland GOSS had used similar services on their machines before the term was invented. Therefore, the company has excellent data on its customers securing in-time services and upgrades. Nice to hear, and though production is lower than in the past, the assembly hall was busy while we were visiting the company. Enjoy!

Predicting the future is, of course, difficult, but printing companies have to do this with every investment they do, as depreciation- and repayment time has a time frame. In this film, we talk to Business Development Manager Arndt Wille from Sattler Media Group who explains how technology and change in customer behavior require the company to rethink investments. Interesting story and we are confident it will inspire you and your business, so please enjoy!
