Bringing a new production inkjet platform to the U.S. market is a big undertaking — especially when the manufacturer is well-established internationally but still relatively new to many American printers. At PRINTING United 2026 in Las Vegas, Pat McGrew meets with Michelle Weir from 52 Industrial to discuss why the company is bringing Atexco’s VegaPress production inkjet technology to North America. For Michelle, the answer is simple: the market needs more choice. Production inkjet has matured enormously, but many systems have also become larger, more complex and increasingly feature-rich. Not every printer needs every feature — or wants the investment, footprint and infrastructure that sometimes come with them. The Atexco VegaPress takes a different approach. The platform uses Kyocera piezo printheads, water-based pigment inks, and is available in 440 mm and 660 mm web widths, with mono and full-color configurations. Atexco specifies speeds of up to 150 meters per minute and a resolution of up to 1200 × 1200 dpi. But Michelle stresses that 52 Industrial isn’t simply introducing another press. The objective is to build a complete production platform around it, combining the appropriate workflow in front of the press and finishing behind it without forcing customers into one manufacturer’s ecosystem. And service came first. 52 Industrial has established an independent authorized U.S. service network, with critical spare parts and printheads warehoused domestically before installations begin. For Michelle, that is essential. An attractive press means very little if customers cannot keep it running. A different investment level. A different ink-cost model. Open workflow and finishing choices. And perhaps most importantly, another choice for production inkjet buyers. Watch Pat McGrew’s conversation with Michelle Weir from 52 Industrial at PRINTING United 2026 in Las Vegas.

It was great meeting Michelle Reed at FEFCO. The two-year-old start-up SendMePack is a super interesting business that, instead of recycling boxes, re-use boxes to do good for the environment and save customers money. The idea is simple, yet we can imagine much work to pick up fine boxes and reuse them with other customers. Returned boxes are checked, sorted, and made ready for the next round - which was supposed to be one extra time, but often many more. The second project is on its way and is used by brands with high returns - i.e., the fashion industry, but listen to Michelle Reed to get the story. Enjoy!

Michel Hunkeler is one of the owners, board members, and former CEO of Hunkeler AG in Switzerland. Among the interesting topics is Michel Hunkelers new role, but also how it is to hand over the CEO position, for the first time ever, to a person out of the family, Daniel Erni. Michel Hunkeler was hit last year with severe health issues but has fought back to an almost 100% everyday life. We talk about brotherly competition and how a strong family, for now, generations, has formed the 100 years old company. A very personal interview with great insights - that you, of course, only find on INKISH.

Hunkeler is by far the leading innovator in roll-based finishing, and with an increased focus on digital inkjet, the company seems to have a golden future. We got the chance to catch up with a good friend and INKISH supporter, CEO Michel Hunkeler, so here is his view on the current situation, and future.. Exciting, right? As with all our 'Over the Skype' interviews, quality is limited to bandwidth, web-cams, and ability to literally LIVE mix the conversations. However, it works, and with Over the Skype, we will bring you more than 20 exciting people, and angles on the industry as it is right now. Enjoy!

Michael Ryan is about to celebrate a personal milestone, September 1st, working 20 years for FESPA - a warm congratulations, and what an impact you and FESPA have - and we know you have a big share in that journey. Ryan also revealed that FESPA is adding a sustainability section to its website - interesting and totally aligned with what everybody in the industry is addressing. Also, 30% more visitors at FESPA just halfway into the show - no reason why Ryan shouldn't be smiling - congratulations!

Michael Ryan is almost the synonym of FESPA, and at the Amsterdam 2021 show, everybody held their breath - will it take place, will visitors come, will exhibitors get the return expected - and yes, yes, and yes. Michael Ryan reviews the first days, and it's positive for a good reason. The interview was done just before day two started, and as this is edited and published almost at the end of day two, we can report that Day 2 was busy, with more guests than the first day and a humming buzz like bees in a cube.

Good2Go is a simple yet super nice idea enabling printers to keep track of files, revisions, proofs, etc., using Good2Go rather than relying on filled-up mailboxes. I spoke to President and founder Michael Reiher when Good2Go was almost ready for the market, and now it's in the market and has already delivered thousands of files for production. Great to see how an idea became a great product helping many customers. Well done, Michael!

Michael Poulin has vast experience in Inkjet from his past with Canon and Kyocera - not Sr. Manager, Inkjet Solutions for Fujifilm. At Digital Disruption Reveal, Michael presents the Fujifilm J Press CFG1160 - a continuous-fed inkjet printer where the "g" is short for Graphic. The machine offers many new inventions, and among the brilliant inventions is the Paper Stabilizer that removes the need for pre-treated paper by warming up the paper and cooling it down to production temperature, which results in considerably less stress on the paper when it dries the print. Michael Poulin greatly explains the machine and technology, so dig in and learn!

In this 'Over the Skype' session, we talk to Director, Product Marketing, Michael Poulin from Canon Solutions America. As you can hear in the conversation, we have spoken with Michael Poulin at the last Printing United - LIVE from the Canon booth - about partner programs, etc. In this session, we also touch upon partners, but of course, more about the inkjet devices from Canon iX-series, color-stream, and pro-stream - and, of course, all the important things to know before investing in inkjet. Great talking to Michael Poulin again.

At LabelExpo in Barcelona, Wayne from INKISH speaks with Michael Matthews, Product Manager at Domino, about the company’s newly launched entry-level digital label press. Michael explains that this new model, unveiled on the first day of the show, is aimed at converters stepping into digital for the first time or looking to add capacity and access new markets. Unlike N6 and N7, which target the medium and high-end segments with hybrid printing options, this new press is designed to be compact, fully integrated, and easy to use. It’s LED curing-based, offering lower power consumption, lower running costs, and faster setup with no external cabinets—so customers can get up and running quickly. He adds that they’ve seen strong interest not only from traditional label converters but also from textile and tag printers who want to move into digital label production. The press is positioned as the first step in Domino’s portfolio, giving newcomers a clear path to grow into more advanced systems later. Michael says the booth has been busy all week, and they’ve gathered many promising leads to follow up after the show.

At The Durst Next event in Brixen, Wayne Beckett speaks with Michael Deflorian about Kyveris, Durst's ambitious vision for the future of intelligent, connected print production. Following Christoph Gamper's keynote and a series of in-depth customer sessions, Michael explains how the industry's understanding of Kyveris is rapidly evolving. What initially appeared to be another workflow platform is now emerging as something far more comprehensive: an open ecosystem designed to capture production knowledge, connect machines, orchestrate workflows, and ultimately enable autonomous manufacturing. During the conversation, Michael outlines the five pillars behind the Kyveris strategy. The foundation remains Durst's expertise in hardware and application knowledge, but the next layers introduce connected workflows, intelligent orchestration, artificial intelligence, and eventually robotics. Together, these technologies are designed to transform isolated production devices into a continuously learning manufacturing environment where every job contributes new knowledge to the system. One of the central themes is Industrial Intelligence. Michael explains that the objective is to create consistent production results regardless of machine, operator, factory, or shift, while simultaneously reducing waste in both materials and production time. By capturing the knowledge that today often exists only in the minds of experienced operators, Kyveris aims to make expertise available throughout an organisation, creating more predictable production and helping businesses overcome the growing shortage of skilled labour. The discussion also explores Durst's modular philosophy. Rather than requiring customers to adopt an entirely new ecosystem, Kyveris has been designed as an open platform where printers can implement individual capabilities at their own pace. Whether the need is production planning, workflow orchestration, AI-assisted decision-making, or eventually autonomous material handling through robotics, each business can build its own journey towards higher levels of automation. Michael also discusses the role of artificial intelligence and robotics in future print production. AI will help analyse production data, optimise workflows, recommend process improvements, and continuously refine machine performance, while autonomous mobile robots and robotic systems will increasingly handle material movement throughout the factory. Together, these technologies represent Durst's long-term ambition to create highly connected manufacturing environments where people, machines, and software work together more efficiently than ever before. A fascinating conversation about industrial intelligence, artificial intelligence, connected manufacturing, and why Kyveris may become one of the industry's most significant developments over the coming decade.

At FESPA Barcelona 2026, Wayne from INKISH speaks with Michael Deflorian from Durst about the company’s visionary “Kyveris Sandbox” concept, a fully autonomous production environment designed to demonstrate the future of industrial digital print manufacturing. Combining robotics, autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs), AI-driven workflow intelligence, quality inspection systems, and digital twin technology, the setup showcases how lights-out production is moving from concept to reality. Deflorian explains how the system creates a virtual digital twin of the production environment that continuously monitors and synchronizes with the physical production line in real-time. Materials are automatically transported by AGVs, loaded and unloaded by robotic arms with sub-millimeter precision, printed, quality-checked through camera inspection systems, and sorted automatically without human intervention. The solution is designed to reduce touchpoints, minimize waste, improve efficiency, and support fully automated production workflows across complex print environments. The conversation also highlights how Durst’s open software architecture and Open Software Initiative enable integration with third-party devices, OEM equipment, and external workflow systems, enabling automation across mixed production environments rather than only within a single vendor ecosystem. Together, they discuss how AI, automation, sustainability, and industrial intelligence are rapidly reshaping the future of print production.

Michael describes the DURST suite of software applications that can create an ecosystem of total efficiency. Save costs, reduce waste, minimize manual process are all possible results. He explains how the professional services team makes sure the shop employees are properly trained on properly implemented solutions.
