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 Canon's Power to Move event in Venlo, Morten Reitoft speaks with Pascal Gafner from Cavin-Baudat, a Swiss printing company active in both offset and digital printing. Already operating Canon digital presses, Cavin-Baudat attended the event to better understand where production printing is heading and how emerging technologies may fit into the company's future strategy. A particular point of interest was the varioPRINT iV7, which Gafner wanted to evaluate firsthand in terms of production capabilities, print quality, speed, and overall business potential. As a company working with both offset and digital technologies, Cavin-Baudat is continuously assessing how production methods evolve and where digital printing may increasingly complement—or eventually replace—certain offset applications. The visit to Venlo provided an opportunity to see the technology in action and gather insights that can help shape future investment decisions. The discussion also touches on a broader industry challenge: understanding how customer expectations and communication channels may develop in the years ahead. While the concepts presented are relatively new to Cavin-Baudat, Gafner sees considerable value in exploring new approaches and challenging established thinking. He concludes by sharing his positive impressions of the event, highlighting the detailed machine presentations, the technical discussions, and the warm welcome from the Canon team. Enjoy the interview.

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!

At PACK EXPO in Chicago, INKISH Editor-in-Chief Morten B. Reitoft meets Parag Patel, President of Technical Services at ePac Flexible Packaging, following the announcement of a global strategic partnership with Fujifilm and the introduction of the Jet Press FP790 into ePac's production platform. In just ten years, ePac has grown from a single production facility in Wisconsin into an international digital flexible packaging business serving thousands of customers across North America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. Patel explains how the company's unique "plant in a box" concept has enabled rapid international expansion through standardized production technology, integrated software, and a decentralized management structure that allows local teams to adapt to their markets. The conversation explores how ePac has demonstrated that digital flexible packaging can be a profitable and scalable business model. From micro-businesses in Indonesia to larger brands in the United States, ePac has built its success around serving customers with different requirements while maintaining a consistent production platform. The decision to introduce Fujifilm's FP790 is another step in that development. Rather than replacing its existing HP Indigo technology, ePac sees the water-based inkjet press as a complementary solution that can expand production capabilities, support larger customers, and create new opportunities for growth. Patel also discusses the company's majority investment by Butterfly Equity, the capital-intensive nature of the business, and why continued investments in technology and people remain essential. Sustainability is another important topic. Patel explains why ePac is investing in recyclable packaging solutions and material flexibility, preparing for changing customer demands and environmental requirements across different markets. Despite its impressive international growth, Patel believes ePac is still far from reaching its potential. With the global flexible packaging market offering enormous opportunities, the combination of established digital technology, new inkjet capabilities, and a scalable business model could take the company considerably further. An interesting conversation about entrepreneurship, global expansion, technology partnerships, and why continuous innovation is essential, even for a company that has already helped transform its industry.

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 :-)

At PRINTING United 2026 in Las Vegas, Wayne Beckett meets Oscar Vidal from HP for a look at something new: AI moving directly into the printer. The new HP Latex R530 AI Printer combines HP's compact hybrid platform with edge AI capabilities designed to simplify everyday production decisions. One example is print-mode selection. Once the job reaches the printer, the onboard system can analyze the file together with media and production characteristics and recommend the appropriate print settings. Instead of relying entirely on an experienced operator to decide how many passes or which print mode should be used, the printer can increasingly help make that decision itself. For Oscar, that is particularly interesting for smaller and medium-sized PSPs where experienced operators may not always be available. The R530 itself is designed as a compact hybrid platform capable of switching between flexible roll-fed materials and rigid substrates. It handles media up to 1.6 meters wide and 5 cm thick and can print applications ranging from self-adhesive vinyl and textiles to foamboard, aluminum composite, wood, and glass. HP PrintOS Production Hub also plays an important role upstream, where AI can already assist with tasks such as image enhancement before the job reaches production. But perhaps the most interesting point is that this is only the beginning. With AI processing now available at the printer itself, HP can continue adding new capabilities and use cases over time. AI isn't simply sitting beside the production workflow anymore. It's beginning to become part of the machine. Watch Wayne Beckett's conversation with Oscar Vidal from HP at PRINTING United 2026 in Las Vegas.

Rutgers Printing & Packaging Solutions outside Haag in the Netherlands is a great example of a company that uses the latest technology to specialize in the packaging niche, where the smaller RAPIDA 76 Format is a huge advantage. The format is slightly bigger than a standard B2 format, that enables Rutgers to have an even better sheet utilization of the packaging made by the company. The owner, Oscar Pepermans, has a strong belief and commitment to his company, and has, besides Rutgers, also developed an online platform serving customers in the Benelux. Before the Koenig & Bauer investment, Rutgers had a Rapida 75. Still, Oscar Perpermans has mentioned it several times, while INKISH emphasizes how great the new Rapida 76 is and how much more productive it is. Great company, great products they produce :-)

A few years ago, INKISH made a film about Storio Group in the Netherlands with the once-amazing company TiliaLabs, so it was with pleasure that we returned, along with CTRL-S, to see what had happened over the years, and we weren't disappointed. Storio Group is a company specialized in photo products, with production at several sites and the challenge of producing thousands of products of one. Most printers know what a challenge that is, and for Remco Beekhuizen and Florus Plaizier no doubt that they have a great understanding of the challenge, and also what software they need to execute. German CTRL-S was selected among various alternatives, and with their Symphony platform, Storio Group has been able to change a legacy system into a new and modern platform, where even the operators say that it's the same or better. In this film, you will learn more about some of the considerations of investing in a new platform and how Storio Group and CTRL-S are more like partners, rather than "just" a supplier. Great company, great products, and great people! LinkedIn: Remco Beekhuizen Florus Plaizier

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!
