We passed their booths at previous North American print shows and always wanted to meet them, and suddenly, an invite to a party on Wednesday evening gave us an opportunity. Chris Harrington is the VP of sales, and as you may already know, Graphic Whizard does things differently than most. Two times a year, they do road trips showing customers, offering training, and well - as Editor Morten B. Reitoft says - if Mohammed doesn't come to the mountain, the mountain must come to Mohammed. Nice concept, and well - listen to what Chris Harrington has to say!

Bonjour day 3 from PRINTING United - and again, a wonderful morning program with our guests, Volker Leonhardt and Andrew Fetherman. Perfect collaboration across the pond, exchange of ideas, and a clear focus on the future. Enjoy our third and last Bonjour :-)

Though Bonjour is early morning, with the smell and taste of warm coffee, it's always great to meet people passionate about what they do. Steve Billow and Ron Gilboa work for Fujifilm Dimatix - the division of Fujifilm that delivers print heads. Samba is the most known name in the printing industry, but Fujifilm Dimatix supplies various types based on requirements and applications. This Bonjour discusses digital transformation and what drives the market forward. Interesting morning. Enjoy!

Amazing start at PRINTING United Atlanta 2023 - and so lovely to meet General Manager Fujifilm Scott Mackie & President Mark Subers, PRINTING United Expo, in our first BONJOUR. Stay tuned for new morning shows during PRINTING United.

We promised to ask Xerox if they are leaving the professional production space after many speculations - and the answer from VP Global Production Marketing, Andrew Gunn, gave us a loud and clear 'no' to this question. With a renewed agreement with Fujifilm about developing new products, this is at least not something to be worried about now. What is MORE interesting, however, is Xerox's focus on marketing automation, AI, and many more things that, in our view, add value for Xerox customers but eventually free Xerox from specific hardware platforms. Like HP's PrintOS can be used with other brands, so is it for Xerox - if we understand Gunn correctly - but listen to Andrew Gunn and judge yourself. To us, great and encouraging statements from Xerox.

Ultimate TechnoGraphics is one of the absolute forerunners in the workflow/automation part of the graphic arts industry - not only because of the workflow/automation software but also because of their openness. In the months before PRINTING United, the company announced several partnerships and some major product announcements, like a brand new nesting engine, but too many, maybe even more important, an option to scale processing power dynamically as needed. This interview with Andrew Bailes-Collins - Head of Product Management - gives us great insights, so get on board - NOW!

Passing on your company to the next generation is filled with emotions, but shaping a business with a great understanding of software, hardware, and all the human capital it takes to create an interesting business. And interesting it is, as the business does transactional print but has, after an investment in an MGI 3D JetVarnish, focused on getting more embellishment customers. Files and workflow are essential, and Solimar delivers software to ensure a smooth operation, but listen for yourself to this super nice interview with Al Kennickel :-)

Friday, October 25th 2019 was the last day of the first Printing United event. The last day we chose to film LIVE from the show floor. We covered 10+ exhibitors including PrintBox, Xerox, Solimar, Keypoint Intelligence, RISO, Konica-Minolta, Mindfire, and of course the President and CEO Ford Bowers from SGIA. We hope you have enjoyed our coverage. It was the first time we did a huge print-show like this, and though there is still room for improvement, we are still pretty happy with the result. Enjoy!

One of the companies that have always continued to surprise us is CHILI Publish from Belgium. The company has one product on the shelf called CHILI Publisher and the first thing that comes to mind when you see it is Adobe InDesign in an online-version. However, CHILI Publisher is way more. It's an online templating and collaboration tool that enable users to create a stunning design online with sources from off-line to PIM's, DAM's and other data sources. October 24th we broadcasted LIVE from their booth at Printing United, and here is it. The un-edited version will shortly be trimmed into easier to consume 'bites' - however until then below is an approx. time-line.

FESPA is about large format, signage, textile, but, of course, the software is needed to drive the technology. PrintFactory used to be a wide-format printer and therefore knows what wide-format printers need. With that knowledge in mind, PrintFactory today delivers a suite of tools enabling lights-out production, better colors (consistent), and a RIP more suitable for all types of wide-format printing. In this interview, Director, Global Strategy Simon Landau from PrintFactory talked to INKISH BENELUX Jacques Michiels about why exhibiting at FESPA and what the latest and greatest is!

Recently the Federation of Printers in Denmark, Grakom, and Medit Consult - a highly acclaimed consulting company in the graphics industry hosted a one day conference about 'Automation and Workflow.' One of the speakers was Freddy Pieters from Enfocus. We got the chance to catch up with him during one of the breaks and spoke about the un-released potential for many printers. Workflow is one of the major topics in the global printing industry so always good to hear an opinion from one of the market leaders. Enjoy!

At the recent Hunkeler Innovationdays 2019, we got the chance to talk to General Manager Global Business Yoshihiro Oe from Horizon about global trends, the state of the industry from a Horizon perspective and how it is to work 32 years in the same company. This conversation was, and we hope you will enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed doing it!

Oliver Luedtke is the European Marketing Director for Kornit Europe GmbH. At Fespa 2018 in Berlin, we got the chance to talk to him about the huge potential he sees in digitally printed textile. Kornit produces textile printers able to print on practically every textile without priming and with waterbased and organic inks. The potential is huge and Oliver Luedtke explains that the potential to use digital technology to the greater good for the world from an environmental perspective is now a possibility. Enjoy the film.

Kelly Kilga is Vice President of Meetings & Events at APTech and is responsible for the events at PRINT®18 in Chicago. One of her major achievements is to get Seth Godin as a keynote speaker at the show. We got a chance to talk with Kelly Kilga about the show, the expectations and it was great - watch and listen.

In this Print Sample TV episode, your host, Pat McGrew, talks about how paper manufacturer Crown van Gelder uses variable data and print samples to show their paper qualities.

Print Sample TV is all about showing great samples to inspire buyers, designers, and the industry. When presenting great samples and pairing these with the technology used this, of course, makes sense. When we create covers and headlines, we try to make headlines that, of course, relates to the cover photo. We try to make a cover photo that makes you curious enough to click on it. If you are a printer and getting into making your print samples, you, of course, have similar considerations. Use all the means you can; like great design, excellent substrates, great print, great enhancement, great binding, great packaging, and why not 'name dropping'? Of course, be aware that you will have to ask for permission to use names, logos, company names, etc. in your marketing. But now it's time to Watch, Like, and Share the finale episode of the Symeta sequel.

As Pat McGrew states in this great Print Sample TV episode "you probably know your local stores, but your new neighbors may not..." and by using LOCR, you can build maps into your applications as variable data and increase the value of your marketing.

In this episode of Print Sample TV Pat McGrew takes a look at a nice campaign made by Canon. The print is made on various substrated printed on their inkjet cut-sheet printer i300. Rather than showing print from a real customer Canon are showcasing different applications on an arbitrary beach resort called Paradise Beach Resort and this is actually a very creative approach - and by the way - a similar approach to the printed retail store Canon showcased at Argos Inspiration Days in Brussels. In our opinion, this is a great way to inspire printers to sell more print. Enjoy. Pat McGrew appears courtesy of Keypoint Intelligence

Most of us receive multiple printed products almost daily and why not see them as print samples?
