Horizon International, represented by Bryan Takano and Yasuo Taketsugu, gave, as usual, a fantastic presentation of some of the binding solutions Horizon produces. It was a national holiday in Japan, and a Typhon was about to hit the entire country, but still the two gentlemen decided to give a live demo of an inline solution for printing business cards and trim them with Horizons rotary die-cutter solution. Great work, gents! See you soon!

Uffe Nielsen is the CEO (and one of the owners) of GM in Denmark. Known for its label finishing machine. This session is almost the same as the previously published one, but as we had some sound issues, we did the second session and decided to keep both. Uffe Nielsen is extremely passionate about his company, its products, and for sure, also the labels produced. Uffe Nielsen reveals who they sell to in this Learn With Us session, but he also reveals that GM is entering into the mid-web segment. Interesting and worth a watch!

If passion flows in the veins, Uffe Nielsen is a living example. His family-driven company GM (Grafisk Maskinfabrik), has developed into a global supplier of amazing finishing technology for converters, and in this Learn With Us session, he gives us an in-depth introduction to GMs products and, in particular about the company's self-developed laser cutter. Really interesting!

The eco-system ESKO has developed is vast, and though this is just a fraction of what's being offered, Geert De Proost and Brad Leeds give you a guided tour of some of the products on display - quite cool seeing how the AVT camera system can detect and guide the operator in the QA process.

In this online interview, Mark Dempsey from HP and editor Morten B. Reitoft chatted about the digital transformation in the corrugated industry. Dempsey explains that the business case moving to digital from flexo is easier than moving from offset to digital in the folding carton segment. We also talk about the C550, which today, February 14th, 2024, celebrates its first year in the market - a warm congratulations to HP for the achievement. Enjoy!

How does the typical customer journey looks, and what is the value in the short/long term? - by Jacob Hededam Hummel & Anthony Thirlby.

During the pandemic, more than 1,300 people from around the world tuned into The Crown Pub every Tuesday and Thursday for weeks and months. Not only did the virtual event create long-lasting friendships, but it also became a learning place. Kelvin Bell from V-Press was one of the initiators of the event, and it was great catching up with him here at the Innovationdays - for the first time in person! Two other frequent "flyers" is Mark Stephenson from Fujifilm and Brendan Perring from IPIA.

Most people don't even consider what happens when a computer is turned on. First, the BIOS gets started, the hard drives, the screen drivers, the operating system and this happens if not instant then seamlessly with many hours of work behind it. In the printing industry, we work towards standards that enable us to deliver better quality, higher output, higher consistency, and easier exchange of data between the processes. We know this happens, but most people probably don't even think about who makes this happen and how it's done. CIP4 is the community that makes this happen, and a couple of times a year the engineers from vendors and printers meet at different locations in the world to test, to define, to develop the standard that we are all depending on - namely CIP3, CIP4, JDF, and XJDF. We got the chance to participate at the recent Inter-OP in Copenhagen and got the opportunity to speak to CTO Rainer Prosi who represents both CIP4 as well as Heidelberg. Enjoy!

The Box Maker is a quite unique and great concept, and your Print Sample TV host, Pat McGrew, is absolutely sold. In this episode, Pat McGrew presents wonderful digitally printed boxes made on corrugated material. We were about to say box-movers, but The Box Maker is a way more accurate description of what you can see in this great episode of Print Sample TV.

German with English subtitles. A few weeks ago, Stefan Schifferdecker from Tessitura reached out to INKISH; honestly, we had never heard about the company. Based in Germany, Tessitura has specialized in developing software for connecting systems. Think of this as Lego bricks or a vast patch bay that enable a printer to use one software with another machine, using a third software -and this way allows for even legacy systems with modern MIS/ERP systems. Stefan Schifferdecker and the company he works for are still new but have customers in Germany, and who knows whether they will be able to reach out even further!

Sweet music arises when two Americans meet in Europe - or more because CEO Mike Rottenheim and Hybrid Software Group share a grand announcement with INKISH Robert Godwin. The companies under Global Graphics decided during FESPA to market themselves under the Hybrid Software Group name - a great name that indicates the hybrid in their offerings.

The Benelux Online Print Event, or BOPE, is amazing. In this chat, Editor Morten B. Reitoft speaks with Managing Director Jos Steutelings from VIGC about what to expect from the event.

Sur le stand d'Agfa, nous avons rejoint Dominique Hariot et sa bête. C'est un véritable animal de production qui est mis en avant, entre autres, sur le marché de la PLV, et Dominique nous la montre en laisse.

In this INKISH film, we visit an amazing packaging printing company in the southern part of France - Autajon/Haubtmann. Autajon is huge global printing group with 36 sites in Europe, in the US, and in Asia - and the reason for our visit is due to their recent investment in the Highcon Beam. For those who don't know the Beam - it's an industrial grade Laser Die Cutting machine that can do creases, die-cuttings, half-cuts, and combinations of above at a speed of up to 5.000 sheets per hour. The actual speed depends on the complexity of the die-cut but pretty fast and in amazing quality. Plant Manager Xavier Boutevillain explains why they did this investment and also how they see the need for machines like the Beam in a changing market. Smaller print runs, faster setup time, more complex designs are just a few of the challenges Haubtmann is now ready to work with. What is of course, also interesting is to see the Beam in a working environment with huge Heidelberg machines, Bobst machines, Glueing machines, and more - and apparently fits so well into this mix of equipment. It was great to get the chance to meet the team from Haubtmann and I hope you enjoy the film. It was sponsored by Highcon - so thank you also to Highcon for this opportunity - and as usual - we did film the way we wanted it to be done - always on YOUR side. Watch, Like, Share - thank you!
