We talk to Phil Baldwin, European Sales Manager and a longtime employee of Mark Andy, who knows the company inside out. Phil has a long history of understanding the printing business and has hands-on experience with it. Label/packaging is a strong market and is doing well. Let's hear what his assumptions are in today's market.

At the Print Symposium in Murnau, Southern Germany, Morten Reitoft speaks with Peter Wiesendanger, one of the key people behind the Veit Rudolf Print Symposium and owner of a highly specialized bookbinding operation. The conversation centers on craftsmanship, teamwork, and the passion for producing exceptional printed products through creativity, technology, and close collaboration with customers and printing companies. Wiesendanger explains how his production environment functions like a “construction kit,” in which different machines and finishing processes can be combined to meet even the most demanding customer requirements. He also describes the symposium itself as a product that should reflect the same pursuit of perfection as the company’s printed work. Together, they discuss how the event has become much more than an industry gathering, serving as inspiration, marketing, networking, and a celebration of the people behind print. Both agree that the industry must actively create opportunities, invest in innovation, and demonstrate the emotional and physical value of print if it wants to continue growing and attracting attention.

In this interview, you will learn from a profoundly passionate owner of a super interesting company - talking really nicely about the products, the people, and the collaboration with Weilburger Graphics. LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-wiesendanger-256744225/

Recognized for its guillotines, Perfecta has for years also developed robot technology to handle and automate the cutting process. Super interesting, and if you have time to see Perfecta's solution in action, we made the following film from Saxoprint in Dresden, which uses the technology.

At Durst's Print Next event in Brixen, Editor Morten B. Reitoft speaks with South Tyrolean artist Peter Senoner about the fascinating intersection between art, technology, and innovation. During Durst's 90th anniversary celebration, visitors are welcomed by Peter's remarkable artwork "Picadilli," a unique hybrid piece created in collaboration with Durst. Built from multiple printed and hand-painted layers on wooden panels, the artwork blurs the boundaries between traditional craftsmanship and advanced digital printing, creating a single visual expression where technology and artistic creativity become inseparable. Peter explains that technology is never the goal—it is the tool that allows an artist to realise ideas that would otherwise remain impossible. Whether through digital printing, layered materials, or new production techniques, technology expands the artist's vocabulary while preserving the uniqueness of the creative process. Every finished piece remains one of a kind and cannot simply be reproduced. The conversation explores the similarities between artistic creation and technological innovation. Both require curiosity, experimentation, collaboration, and the courage to challenge existing boundaries. Peter believes this shared mindset made Durst an ideal partner, as both artist and company continuously strive to move beyond what is already known and discover new possibilities. The collaboration was made possible through the LUMEN Museum, where Peter's exhibition created the connection with Durst. From there, an idea evolved into one of the visual highlights of the company's 90th anniversary celebration, demonstrating how industrial technology can become an integral part of contemporary artistic expression. A thoughtful conversation about creativity, collaboration, and why some of the most exciting innovations happen when artists and engineers begin speaking the same language.

Talking to engineers and understanding the technical challenges you must overcome to have a finished product is always interesting. Peter Pötzl is at FEFCO as he will be speaking about controlling heat, steam, and electricity - or, in short, the consumables of a working corrugator. Interesting to learn and also to understand that this is something that many converters can do better to optimize production and the product and optimize energy consumption for the better. Listen and learn!

INKISH hosted for the first time ever our NON-EVENT. The Non-event is celebrating the people that have been in front of the camera, or been supporting INKISH during the past years. This is a new recurring event, and the idea is to give space for the people we have featured to connect in a new way. We invited 150 people, and 32 decided to join us. Our guests came from Japan, Canada, USA, UK, Belgium, Sweden, and Denmark - and we are confident that next year, even more, will come. We asked most of our participants to talk LIVE during the dinner - and here is Peter Ollén from Sweden. Peter Ollén is the editor and CEO of Sign, Print & Pack events in Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark as well as being in charge of online- and offline media throughout the region. Enjoy!

Peter Ollén is the owner and the organizer of the Sign & Print events throughout the Nordic countries, and though the Swedish one is the largest of the four, it's actually the second show taken place post-covid. It's always with anticipations when shows are developed and executed, but CEO Peter Ollén is very satisfied with the exhibitors, the look and feel of the show, and has a good prognosis for the expected number of attendees - but listen to him yourself - and learn more!

I am the editor for printmedianieuws. The future remains online. Our public is growing and also our partners are still with us after this period. So I'm looking forward for the results in this year. I like a little bit to look at video. You inspired me on that. We also develop websites. Because we want to share our publishing knowledge to a wider audience. About 25 percent of our time we spend in developing websites for various markets. I have to cope with a lot of clients who set their steps in the online world and they need the experience of a publisher. After the pandemic we still use online communications a lot. And this tower represents all the online communications for me. Because it is a telecom company. So when I talk to you, I always think: OK, my first meters are over there. My son, who has Down syndrome, couldn't be at his work the whole week because of the influence of older people together. My son Joost was half time with me at the office. And he was making puzzles. Using his iPad. And he was using color books. I don't want to get rid of the stuff yet from my office. Because I'm still afraid that he might have to come back because of some pandemic reason. We analyze that there are losers and there are winners. The perspective I have on the site of the winners is that there are so many challenges in this printing industry. And we write about that of course. You have to see there is luck everywhere. But you have to grab it. And you have not to be afraid to try to do things.

German language - subtitles in English! Editor Jacques Michiels in conversation with Peter Franco Kreutz, project manager for Druckhausnord, part of the Scandinavian Print Group A/S, one of Europe's leading online printers. Open for business 24 hours a day means your operations must be as fluid and efficient as possible. Competitive pricing to serve a B2B and a B2C market means automation, standardization, and efficiency at all levels. Peter says you have to keep on the ball; it's a competitive game. We agree with this statement. (Deutsch) Redakteur Jacques Michiels im Gespräch mit Peter Franco Kreutz, Projektleiter bei Druckhausnord, Teil der skandinavischen Gruppe, einer der führenden Online-Druckereien Europas. Wenn Sie rund um die Uhr für den Geschäftsbetrieb geöffnet sind, müssen Ihre Abläufe so reibungslos und effizient wie möglich sein. Wettbewerbsfähige Preise zur Bedienung eines B2B- und B2C-Marktes bedeuten Automatisierung, Standardisierung und Effizienz auf allen Ebenen. Man muss am Ball bleiben, sagt Peter, es ist ein Pflichtspiel. Wir stimmen dieser Aussage zu.

Pete Dolfis, sales VP (Americas) for Tecnau, walks INKISH through the Stack 1212 cut-sheet stacking solution for B2+ format digital print output. The streamlined machine reduces manual handling and requires no guillotine cutting. It's ideal for applications such as letters, books, brochures, postcards, and posters!

In this film from PRINTING United, Pete Dolfis from Tecnau explains how its guillotine technology enables cleaner cuts when producing high-quality postcards, for example. We also get to talk more about how digital printing is paving its way into the commercial space, constantly raising the bar on the finishing side. But listen for yourself :-)

At drupa 2024, Tecnau launched its patent-pending Revolution 50 auto-setup line, automatically making all the changeovers. This is smart if you have multiple designs on a roll of paper, as the barcode printed automatically adjusts the settings, so you get all your formats delivered as you like. All the different sizes in the stacker are perfectly stacked for further processing. LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pete-dolfis-1a07a825/

Heidelbergs Prime Fire 106 is a digital printing machined aimed for the packaging market. With a large format, excellent quality and digital capabilities it not only do short-run packaging, but it also opens up for completely new business opportunities. In this Print Sample TV episode host Pat McGrew show samples from Japanese K.K.Kyoshin Paper & Package who has made a web-to-packaging portal called Hacoplay. Enjoy!

Our beloved host, Pat McGrew, for sure loves dogs, and so do millions of other people. The pet market is one of the fastest-growing markets, and who should have thought that "dogalized" (personalized but with dogs instead!) packaging could be the next big thing - but in this Print Sample TV episode, Pat McGrew will show you. Be surprised!

The Screen L350UV label printer is an amazing piece of hardware, and in this Print Sample TV edition, Pat McGrew shows the samples from the machine. Pat McGrew emphasis that the red colors that apparently are difficult with inkjet stand out brilliantly. Red is dangerous, but with the L350UV, we are unsure whether it's dangerous or just makes a lot of sense! Judge for yourself!

I dette interview har redaktør Morten B. Reitoft en snak med Production Manager Per Nonbye, som udover at være aktiv i familiefirmaet som wrapper bil/lastbil flåder, politi også håndtere folieringer af f.eks. tog. Per Nonbye er også bestyrelsesmedlem af FESPA Danmark. Spændende snak :-)

Jean from Inkish interviews Per Arild, CCO of Glunz & Jensen, at the Glunz & Jensen stand during LabelExpo. Per Arild explains that Glunz & Jensen first explored LED curing technology in 2012 but shelved it until a few years before drupa, when they launched their mid-web format Flex LED 420 system with great success. Building on that, they are now showcasing a larger wide-web 5280 system. Glunz & Jensen sees its technology as part of a toolbox where each method fits different applications. He highlights that moving from UV to LED brings better performance, quality, and consistent output with fewer fluctuations. Per Arild also mentions Glunz & Jensen’s efforts toward sustainability, such as producing in Slovakia since 2011, running their factory almost entirely on solar energy, and using LED lighting, emphasizing that while they are not trying to be extremely green, they aim to be environmentally conscious.

Vpaper is really exciting product from Peleman making double folds on papers in order to get layflat binding. This is a really cool machine and you can meet Peleman at www.argosinspirationdays.com.

I met Peeter Adamson for the first time years ago in the Estonian city Tartu. An old and nice city with a bar in one of the oldest and largest gun-powder storage buildings from ancient times, but of course, this has nothing to do with today's interview :-) Peeter Adamson is the CEO and owner of the printing company Paar and decided to go to the Horizon Finishing First event in Quickborn to check out a new folding machine. Adamson, however, says that he is replacing a twelve years old machine and believe that the challenging time is a great time to invest in new technology. But listen for yourself, and maybe you'll agree with him?

Editor Morten B. Reitoft from INKISH speaks with Pedro Llamas from Heidelberg Mexico at Expográfica in Guadalajara about the strong development of the Mexican print market, Heidelberg’s fifth consecutive record sales year, and the growing importance of integrated solutions across offset, digital, workflow, consumables, and service. The conversation explores market consolidation, productivity, packaging growth, and why Heidelberg’s strategy increasingly focuses on openness, partnerships, and complete customer support rather than simply selling machines. From Prinect workflow integration to MK finishing solutions and Gallus label technology, the interview highlights how Heidelberg continues evolving alongside the changing needs of printers in Mexico and Latin America.
