Ralf Brückner is Account Manager for HP Germany, and with the success of HP everywhere, he is busy visiting customers. In this short interview from the Horizon Finishing First event, we ask whether print or finishing comes first. Ralph Brückner also talks about the partnership with Horizon and gives an example of how the SmartStacker (B2 format) fits perfectly with HPs B2 presses.

Nothing stays the way it has been! - Experience from the new world: Rainer Wagner is a first-class print expert, with around 40 years of experience at the forefront. Nothing escapes him. And he can immediately classify everything correctly. For over 30 years, the person born and trained in Germany has lived and worked in LATAM, i.e. South and Central America, without losing ties to Germany. For INKISH D-A-CH and Andreas Weber there was a very interesting field of tension between: From old to new. Without compromises! The conversation touches on explosive points: What does the situation on the print market actually look like? What can you learn from LATAM in the D-A-CH region? How do German players arrive in LATAM? And above all: what is the situation in LATAM? What options are there? - What is happening in view of the digital transformation and the corona crisis? - What significance and what form does artificial intelligence have in the print sector? - Is the print technology as good as manufacturers claim? - What is really important from a practical point of view in print shops? - How can you keep the overall view in order to produce high quality and needs-based print products today? Rainer Wagner's answers are clear, unambiguous, precise and certainly surprising for many. Especially for those who want to focus on the old world of print with newly formulated performance promises. Info tip: Rainer Wagner shares his knowledge, experiences and observations in a Spanish-language blog that is heavily frequented in LATAM and beyond. http://www.druckblog.org As with all our ‘Over the Skype’ interviews, quality is limited to bandwidth, web-cams, and ability to literally LIVE mix the conversations.

At Printing United Expo in Orlando, Wayne from INKISH speaks with Matthew Edwards from Pro Print Performance, part of Keypoint Intelligence. Matthew explains that while Pro Print Performance was acquired two and a half years ago, it has over 25 years of experience in production print and operates independently in Europe, with Matthew as the only U.S. employee. He describes the company’s competitive web portal, an online database used by dealers and OEMs for real-world production print comparisons. “We work with all major manufacturers,” he says. “It’s not just specs — we provide tested performance data so sales teams can be more credible and confident.” Beyond the portal, Pro Print Performance offers training programs for dealers, covering both competitive knowledge and sales skills. “We help dealers who don’t have internal training departments to develop their teams and have better business conversations,” Matthew explains. A new addition to the portal is a finishing section, enabling users to compare inline and offline solutions side by side. “Finishing is becoming one of the biggest differentiators,” he says. While Pro Print Performance works with manufacturers and dealers rather than PSPs directly, Matthew emphasizes their mission to make salespeople stronger, more informed, and more trusted by their customers. He adds that Keypoint Intelligence’s learning and development programs are being integrated into Pro Print Performance, expanding their offering with micro-learnings and market-based training. Wrapping up, Matthew laughs that this is his first Printing United despite 25 years in print — but not his last.

Project Peacock Print Fair is honestly one of the best events we have attended and it's a new event, it's a recurring event, and it's just different. Most of the events in the printing industry are directed to the printing companies and are mostly about equipment. Project Peacock Print Fair is an opportunity for the vendors in the printing industry to communicate directly with designers, purchasers, brand-owners, and all the people that influence the purchasing of print. The show is founded by the Intergalactic Ambassador to the Printerverse Ms. Deborah Corn - and this event was simply stunning. The location at the Angel Orensanz Foundation in NYC was fantastic and with almost 300 attendees and many representing impressive accounts - everybody was I would say both surprised and happy. INKISH got the chance to test our newest equipment to broadcast live and in this cut-down version you can see what we are capable of doing now - we are thrilled! Later you will get an official postcard from us - and during the next week's extensive interviews with Tonya Powers from Canon, Mark Subers from NAPCO, Sarah Markfield from APTech, and Donna Covannon from Xeikon - so stay tuned!
