Imagine having three printing presses that can be replaced with one. Imagine that this new device gives you are larger output, gives you more immense flexibility, and even a better profit! Imagine that in the future, your press will be way more autonomous, and your business will be very different from today. At the same time, your choice changing equipment is extremely dependent on whether you want to survive, become stronger, or even taking all these metrics into account before handing over your company to the next generations. Exciting, right? This is just a few of the things Vice Presiden of Sales, Mark F. Milbourn and Editor Morten B. Reitoft talk about in this 20+ minutes conversation - recorded at PRINTING United 2019 in Dallas. We love the long conversations where the person we talk to have time to explain the details, and where the person at the same time have the opportunity to deliver.

If you wonder what DoDxAct stands for you are probably not the first to ask, and understanding what Mark Bale does - the name is ingenious! The abbreviation is short for Drop On Demand (e)Xact - and that is exactly what all this is about. As you know, or will learn in this film, the printheads are only one of the essential components of a functional printer. The controller, the ink, and obviously the substrate needs to be aligned to make a perfect output. Mark Bale focuses on the printhead, where he teaches, consults, and also has a lab where he can test all of the above. Enjoy the film!

Marco Boer has become (for many years) a number-one go-to source for market development and understanding how digital print, particularly inkjet, fits the bill in a future printing landscape. At ICE/InPrint, we got a chance to talk to Marco, and we spoke about the split between research to understand the future combined with the presentations of the present, which are equally important. We also discuss whether the digital transformation takes place at such a speed that the research might become obsolete before publication. However, Marco Boer has an eternal hunger for knowledge, and as he says (even with an example), he learns EVERY day. Enjoy!

In this chat between Vice Presiden, IT Strategies, Marco Boer, and Editor-in-Chief of INKISH, Morten B. Reitoft, the talk is about technology, the need for tradeshows, and how PRINTING United will be the measure for attendees visiting DRUPA, and many more interesting topics.

That's where it all gets started in 2012, 23 December, 9 a.m. in the morning. Now, it's been almost nine years with Nilpeter Dubai looking after the entire Middle East operations. I like to keep things a bit tidy and clean. Otherwise, I feel a bit uncomfortable. Last year was a special year for Nilpeter. Because that's when we celebrated our 100 years. Being a part of Nilpeter I always consider us as a very fortunate thing which happened to my life. Because that company - it's a marvelous, super cool company. So Nilpeter has a unique goal to do business with people who believe what we believe. He is my director, Mr. Shyam. So, he was the one who hired me in 2012. The relationship is very special, I would say. When you put your ultimate trust in someone else. And that generates a great bond, which is, you know, indescribable. So, he's basically a super cool chap. He's a good reader. A philosopher sometimes. And a very honest and smart businessman. So, I always take tips and suggestions from him. And the best and the funny part is - it works. This is from Georgia basically. So, I had a chance to visit that place. And that's where I took that picture. The nature plays a key role, I think, in everybody's life. Overwhelmed with the pandemic situation. So, I think the best thing to do is whenever we feel depressed or anxious or confused to spend some time with the family or friends. Or maybe just alone. And many companies whom I know personally had a great 20/20 business year compared to previous years. So, we must adapt to come over this particular stage as well. You know, let's not lose the hope. Hope - It's a good thing. Maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies. LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/manum003/
