AMS is most recognized as one of the pioneers of LED UV, and in this film, VP Pat Keogh gives us a great insight into why AMS still considers itself the industry leader in LED UV. Editor Morten B. Reitoft also asks Pat Keogh how PSPs should identify which UV solution is the right for them? LED UV has become an extremely important curing source for many printers as it dries the sheets or the rolls immediately, but listen for yourself and enjoy the interview :-)

James Quirk from INKISH talking to Pascal Thomas from ESKO about how technology enables customers to have more sustainable productions!

At PRINTING United INKISH was broadcasting LIVE from Canon Solutions America October 23rd. It was fun, it was educating, it was also too much marketing - one of our viewers commented. However, talking to Michael Poulin, Director, Product Marketing, gave us an insight into how important partners are. You can think that the large vendors can manage everything themselves, but as you can hear, Canon Solutions America counts on the partners to deliver full solutions to their customers. Makes sense, I believe! Enjoy!

AlphaGraphics Sandy is one of the bigger franchises of AlphaGraphics - and in this film, we talk to the  Owner and president, Andy Selcho, about the advantages of being part of AlphaGraphics. Andy Selcho's father started AlphaGraphics Sandy, and though it wasn't the plan at first to have Andy Selcho take over, it became increasingly the plan - and today, Andy Selcho runs the Sandy division with many different technologies and services. In the film, we talk about the history. Still, also about current time and the future - we even get time to visit a customer, showing how many different technologies and applications AlphaGraphics Sandy can deliver. This is our first visit to a franchise company in the industry, so we are very excited about the story and the drive that Andy Selcho and his employees deliver. We contacted AlphaGraphics Sandy due to an unfortunate cancellation on one of our US trips. As we knew Director of Operations Paul Gardner from previous visits to Salt Lake City - a connection was established. We hope you like the story, and if you have great stories to share - feel free to reach out. We often have opportunities to do editorials like this - thank you for your support!

Özkan Meral is the Production Manager at Kohlhammer, and as Editor, Morten B. Reitoft has been with the company for a week. We talk about the many processes, the many people, and the many things that both make the job fun and challenging. Kohlhammer has also invested in several Cobo-Stacks from MBO, and Meral explains how only one person can manage some jobs running on three folding machines. Besides the efficiency, it also saves operators from health issues related to heavy lifting. Super interesting. Language: German Subtitled: English

At the BOBST Open House today (November 6th, 2024), we got the chance to talk to Owen Koehler from Böhlerstrip - and if you are in the packaging business, you most likely know the company for being a very competent supplier of knives used for the die cutting forms. Here we learn about the different brands and when customers use the various products. Super interesting, and I must admit, an area that we didn't know much about, but that makes it just even better listening to Owen Koehler.

At the recent SPICYtalks in Berlin, we spoke with Alan Dixon, who is the CEO & Managing Director of UK and Australian based Workflowz. Seeing the amazing thing CHILI Publisher is capable of doing, the ever-recurring question must be - why aren't more people investing in the software? CHILI Publisher is a success, but as we also spoke to CEO Kevin Goeminne about, CHILI publish has only a fraction of the market currently. Depending on partners who understand the software, who is capable of introducing it to the right customers, must be a challenge. In this interview, Alan Dixon also touches upon the fact that it's also a question about overcoming a 'fear factor' when investing in technology like CHILI Publisher. Enjoy the interview :-)

Paul Hornby is the Managing Directory of Foilco Limited - a UK based company producing foils. We met him in Copenhagen and asked him how the environmental program progresses, and rest assured - it goes well. In 2019 Foilco committed to a recycling program of the waste collected among its customers, turning the waste into environmentally friendly products. But listen for yourself.

When you have a lot of print, it's immensely important to have software that can ensure a smooth data flow. As Michael Zimmerman explains in this interview, you get files in all formats, and though you would think a PDF is a PDF, it's not the case. When jobs, i.e., contain 30,000 PDF files, Solimar ReadyPDF is used to optimize the PDF file, so the file size gets smaller and, therefore, faster to process. Zimmerman is a very happy Solimar customer, and if you work in a mail department yourself, you will recognize some of the challenges he explains in this film!

Courier Graphics is located in Phoenix, Arizona, and is yet another amazing printing company. When entering the production, you'll see the huge 32-page manroland web-offset press, which is great to see in work, and funny to see how small a Heidelberg XL-106 - 8-color suddenly is compared to the manroland - however, the combination is super great for a company that focuses on HIGH-quality magazines, catalogs, etc. We are visiting Courier Graphics and President Scott Carritt, as the company recently invested in a new MIS/ERP solution from PrintVis, which has given Courier Graphics productivity gains and many other advantages, which we talk about in this INKISH film.

First, we had to talk about Hunkeler Innovationdays, which took place in Switzerland in February - and CMO Hans Gut confirmed what we already knew - a fantastic success for everybody. As HP has been a strong partner for years, it's only natural to meet Hans Gut at the HP #PrintAhead event, and with all the new machines already announced but also expected shortly, we talk about the opportunities Hunkeler has - as always, great listening to Hans Gut. Enjoy!

Interview in Dutch - subtitles in English. HP steunt als strategische partner van het VIGC haar werking en zo de grafische industrie in de Benelux. We ontmoeten graag Onno Schiltkamp en onderhouden ons meer specifiek o.a. over de integratie van AI in hun technologieën. Waar zit ondertussen het omslagpunt tussen Offset en digitale druk en hoe zien zij “onze” markt bewegen. — EN — As a strategic partner of the VIGC, HP supports its operations and thus the graphics industry in the Benelux. We would like to meet Onno Schiltkamp and discuss more specifically about the integration of AI into their technologies. In the meantime, where is the turning point between Offset and digital printing and how do they see “our” market moving.

GSE Dispensing is a Dutch company with 50 years behind them. The company develops and produces ink dispensing machines. Your humble editor must admit that he initially didn't understand what GSE Dispensing delivers before Onno Deen explained that he is selling a machine that can mix inks. The bell rang, and I realized it was a machine to mix inks, so I could understand the application. With a software solution in front of the machine, GSE Dispensing can mix spot color, but they can even keep track of all your left-overs and by this also use the leftovers as a base for mixing new colors - super interesting :-)

Onlineprinters is among the three biggest online printing companies in Europe. Just a few weeks ago they announced customer number 1 million and even though this is "just" a number it's still impressive. With more than 183 offset printing units, a tight partnership with companies such as Heidelberg, HP, and Horizon the company still look for double-digit growth in the years ahead. At the recent Press Tour 2018 INKSH in cooperation with WhatTheyThink.com got the chance to talk to CEO Dr. Michael Fries about this and that. Enjoy the very frank and open interview - and thank you Michae Fries for your time!
