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!

Ten years ago, Alenka Volk joined Prima IP with a background that had very little to do with printing. She was a lawyer. Today, she is a Managing Director and co-owner of the Ljubljana-based printing company - and can comfortably discuss workflows, drying technology, digital printing, and the daily challenges of running a modern print operation. But her primary responsibility remains people, HR, contracts and the organizational side of the business, complementing Primož Štrumbelj’s commercial and technology focus. And people are particularly important at Prima IP. The company has official status as an invalidsko podjetje — a Slovenian company employing people with disabilities — and Alenka explains that around half of its employees have this status. But rather than separating people into simple or repetitive jobs, Prima IP integrates employees throughout the workflow and production environment. For Alenka, that is fundamental to the company's success. Buying technology is relatively easy. It is the people who operate it, solve problems, develop products, and take responsibility who ultimately make the difference. In our conversation, we also discuss Prima IP's decision to move strongly into digital book production. The company saw an increasingly familiar development in publishing: print runs getting shorter while the number of individual orders continued to increase. For Prima IP, industrial digital printing became the logical response. But identifying an opportunity is only the beginning. Major investments require technology decisions, financing, convincing banks that the business case works in a relatively small Slovenian market — and convincing the people inside the company that the direction is right. Today, those investments are on the production floor, Prima IP is growing its position in digital book production, and Alenka has a very clear ambition for what comes next: When you think about books in Slovenia, she wants you to think Prima Book.

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/

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!

What happens when AI, autonomous systems, and print production begin to merge? In this deep and highly philosophical conversation, Editor Morten B. Reitoft from INKISH speaks with Christoph Gamper from DURST about the future of print, automation, software, and human interaction with technology. Recorded at Expográfica in Guadalajara, the interview moves far beyond machinery and production equipment into questions about how value will be created in the future, how AI agents may negotiate production automatically, and why the next generation of print manufacturing could become increasingly autonomous. Christoph Gamper explains why he believes print production will evolve toward “lights-out” manufacturing environments, where human roles shift from manual operation toward orchestration, architecture, and decision-making. The discussion explores labor shortages, autonomous logistics, AI-driven workflows, and why the future may depend less on closed software ecosystems and more on open, hardware-agnostic systems capable of dynamically connecting entire production environments. The conversation also introduces DURST’s vision behind “Kyveris,” a concept Christoph Gamper describes as a connection between human knowledge and AI-driven systems designed to create value for real people. Rather than focusing on software lock-ins or isolated ecosystems, the discussion centers on how decades of industrial knowledge can be translated into intelligent systems that help printers optimize production, improve efficiency, and rethink how print businesses operate. This is not simply a discussion about presses or automation. It is a conversation about leadership, technological optimism, the role of AI in manufacturing, and how the print industry may fundamentally change over the next decade.

A few days ago, Editor Morten B. Reitoft conducted an interview with Matt Brooks from Nazdar Ink Technologies, during which he mentioned the introduction of Inkjet Technology back in 1953.

We couldn't let that pass, so we did this really fun talk - I am sure you will like it!
