At Durst's Print Next event in Brixen, Wayne Beckett speaks with Matthias Miederer, Regional Sales Director DACH at Scodix, about the continued evolution of digital embellishment and why the technology is becoming increasingly relevant across commercial print, packaging, and wide-format applications. Having spent more than a decade working with digital embellishment technologies, Matthias reflects on his journey through the industry and explains why joining Scodix represented the next logical step. Today, he is responsible for the DACH region, one of Europe's most important markets for value-added print, where printers are increasingly looking beyond commodity production towards higher-margin applications. The conversation explores the launch of Scodix's newest platform, which significantly expands the range of printable substrates. From lightweight commercial papers to corrugated board, rigid materials, Dibond, and acrylic, the new press enables print service providers to address a far broader range of applications with a single investment. For many businesses, this opens opportunities to serve new markets while creating greater flexibility across existing production. Wayne also asks an important question that many print service providers may be considering themselves: if you don't already offer digital embellishment, where should you begin? Matthias believes the starting point is not the technology itself but the business case. Digital embellishment is fundamentally about creating additional value, allowing printers to differentiate their products, command higher margins, and generate new revenue streams rather than competing solely on price. The discussion also highlights the growing opportunities within packaging, where shorter production runs and increased demand for premium finishes continue to drive interest in digital embellishment technologies. As brands look for ways to create greater shelf impact without sacrificing flexibility, solutions such as those from Scodix are becoming increasingly relevant. A fascinating conversation about innovation, value creation, premium print, and why digital embellishment continues to open new opportunities across multiple print markets.

Matteo Dago from Heidelberg, Scodix's agent in Italy, talks to Wayne about the first customer they have for the new Scodix Ultra 7000 corrugated digital embellishment machine.

Matteo Cardinotti is the head of BOBST Narrow/Mid web, and in this 'Conversations' with Editor Morten B. Reitoft, you better understand the human behind the position. We are all humans, and we operate to achieve different objectives. In our conversations with leaders of our industry, we try to understand who they are, where they come from, and what drives them as humans. Enjoy the film with Matteo Cardinotti.

Matteo Cardinotti discusses the success of BOBST's DM340 digital press since its launch two years ago and the benefits BOBST Connect can bring to label and packaging converters.

At the NON-EVENT23, we combined presentations with fireplace chats - and Matteo Cardinotti from BOBST Firence was the first to enter the fantastic scenery in front of the huge fish tank at the Blue Planet in Copenhagen. Super nice conversations with interesting takeaways, but listen for yourself - only on INKISH :-)

The final interview of day two at PRINTING United 2026 takes Morten B. Reitoft back to the Agfa booth, this time meeting Matt from Koroseal. For Koroseal, this will be the company's first experience with Agfa technology — but certainly not a decision made overnight. The team spent months evaluating various technologies and closely examining which would best support Koroseal's commercial wallcovering business. Speed and production efficiency were important, but so was the ability to develop new products faster and respond more quickly to changing customer demands. And Koroseal isn't starting small. Alongside its new production system, the company has also invested in a smaller Agfa platform for proofing and development. Together, the technologies should give Koroseal greater flexibility for short runs, specialty applications and new product development while increasing capacity for its core wallcovering production. Matt explains that innovation is already central to the way Koroseal approaches manufacturing. The expectation is therefore not simply that the new technology will produce existing products faster, but that it will help the company explore applications and products that weren't practical before. For a company built around surfaces, materials and design, that could be just as important as additional throughput. The machine is on its way, expectations are high — and Matt clearly expects the investment to help Koroseal grow. Watch Morten B. Reitoft's conversation with Matt from Koroseal at the Agfa booth at PRINTING United 2026 in Las Vegas.

At DURST Expo Label 2022 we got the chance to meet with Matt Burton from ABG. ABG is one of the most recognized suppliers of finishing equipment, embellishment, laser cutting, and software. Hard work, clever innovations, and close and trustful relationships are part of the secret sauce. For Burton, who is now the 4th generation, the growth is something to be proud of, but nothing is taken for a given, and we would be surprised if AGB wouldn't continue to see growth. Watch the interview yourself - it's a good one! LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-burton-58928485/

SpeedSet 1060 is probably the fastest inkjet printer on the market right now - and still water-based and in high quality - with more than 11,000 B1 sheets an hour - beat that! Obviously, Matt Brooks and his AGFA team are proud of the effort, and judging from the samples and the plan to push the machine to market, why not? It's super interesting to see how inkjet technology keeps evolving and narrowing the gap between analog and digital - I'm looking forward to seeing the machine!

Matt Brooks has a background in Chemistry and returns to his roots in a new position at Nazdar Ink Technologies' OEM department. Many of us know Matt Brooks from his roles at Inca, Screen, and Agfa - yet he is also involved with the same Cambridge-based company, and has recently been associated with the AGFA Speedset Inkjet printer. Jean Lloud and Morten B. Reitoft get a chance to talk to Matt Brooks about his new endeavor. Enjoy!

At Durst's Print Next event in Brixen, Editor Morten B. Reitoft speaks with Matt Ashman, Managing Director of Durst Oceania, about the Australian and New Zealand markets, why Durst continues to grow across the region, and how the company's latest strategic initiative, Kyveris, fits into the future of print production. Although Australia and New Zealand together represent a relatively small population, Durst Oceania has built an impressive presence, reaching 100 Durst installations in just seven years. Matt explains that the region continues to invest in new technology and that printers remain optimistic despite global economic uncertainty. Australian print service providers value local partnerships, long-term support, and technologies that help them remain competitive in demanding markets. The conversation naturally turns to Kyveris, Durst's new platform for intelligent workflow orchestration. Matt explains that Durst has repeatedly demonstrated its ability to anticipate where the market is heading—from photographic systems to wide-format inkjet, labels, packaging, and industrial applications. In his view, Kyveris represents the next logical step, connecting production through software, automation, and data rather than focusing solely on individual machines. Matt also shares why customers from Australia immediately accepted the invitation to travel to Brixen. Visiting Durst headquarters allows them to experience what he describes as the company's DNA—a culture where everyone is aligned behind a common vision. That commitment, combined with long-term investment in research and development, gives customers confidence that they are partnering with a company that is planning not only for today's business, but for the next decade and beyond. The discussion also touches on Durst's strategic collaborations with industry leaders, including Koenig & Bauer and OMET. Rather than trying to build every solution themselves, Durst continues to partner with companies that are leaders in their respective fields, allowing customers to benefit from complete production solutions built around best-in-class technology. A fascinating conversation about leadership, partnerships, innovation, and why Durst's vision continues to resonate with print businesses on the other side of the world.

At Durst's Print Next event in Brixen, Editor Morten B. Reitoft speaks with Matt Aitken, Executive Chairman of IV Group in Australia, about why his company has rapidly embraced Durst technology and what he believes sets it apart from many competitors. Although traveling from Australia requires more than 25 hours in the air, Matt explains that attending Durst's customer event was never really a decision. Having already visited Brixen several times, he sees the event as an opportunity to connect with one of the industry's most innovative companies while gaining insight into the technologies that will shape the future of print. IV Group has become one of Durst's fastest-growing customers, investing in six Durst machines within just a few years. Matt explains that the decision was never simply about replacing equipment—it was about finding a technology partner that shares the company's long-term vision. As customer demands continue to evolve across retail graphics, point-of-sale, brand activations, exhibitions, and fashion, IV Group wanted a partner committed to continuous innovation rather than maintaining the status quo. The conversation also explores Kyveris, Durst's new platform for intelligent workflow orchestration. While still in its early stages, Matt believes the concept has enormous potential to help print businesses become more efficient through connected production and data-driven decision-making. At the same time, he raises an important issue that many printers will recognize: balancing the benefits of sharing production data with the need to protect commercially sensitive information. Having worked with connected manufacturing systems for years, he believes confidentiality and trust will be essential to the platform's success. Throughout the interview, Matt returns to one central theme: remaining relevant. For him, investing in Durst is not simply investing in machinery—it is investing in a company that consistently looks ahead, challenges itself to innovate, and continues to push the industry forward. A fascinating conversation about technology partnerships, innovation, data, and why forward-thinking print businesses choose partners that are already building tomorrow's solutions.

The text is from a live broadcast involving technical difficulties and discussing technology, automation, and partnerships. Initially, audio issues prevented Matthias from hearing the host, leading to a delay in the live broadcast. Once the connection issues are resolved, they discuss the technological challenges and Matthias's absence from a previous event despite promising to attend. Matthias explains his decision to attend the next event not as an exhibitor but in partnership, highlighting the importance of showcasing full automation in the industry through collaborations with machine manufacturers, software providers, and other partners. He mentions that these partnerships are still being finalized, focusing on automation, positioning, workflows, and hardware. The conversation underscores the complexities of modern technology and the significance of integrated solutions in the automation sector.

When we talk about the smart factory approach in the print sector, the starting point is a functioning ERP system that is specifically geared towards future requirements. State-of-the-art cloud technologies open up completely new perspectives, as Mathias Erlandsson, founder and CEO of Omikai Systems AB explains in an Over the Skye conversation with Andreas Weber, CEO INKISH D-A-CH. "The requirements in Sweden are very similar to those in the DA-CH region“, explains Matthias. It depends on ease of use, transparency in all areas and a kind of omnichannel availability of the structured data that is dedicated to the needs of a successful and sustainable print business. It’s not only about production, but also management and administration, and above all about a much better go-to-market. The most important thing is not to have to deal with technology any more, but rather to develop the right digital mindset: Open, flexible. thinking ahead, geared towards the context and collaboration. The two conversation partners consequently open a dialogue that anyone interested can join. --- Wenn wir über Smart Factory im Print-Sektor sprechen, so ist der Ausgangspunkt ein funktionierendes, ganz spezifisch auf zukünftige Anforderungen ausgerichtetes ERP-System. Hier ergeben sich durch zeitgemäße Cloud-Technologien ganz neue Perspektiven, wie Mathias Erlandsson, Gründer und CEO von Omikai Systems AB im Over the Skye-Gespräch mit Andreas Weber, CEO INKISH D-A-CH, erläutert. „Die Anforderungen in Schweden sind denen in der D-A-CH-Region sehr ähnlich“, legt Matthias dar. Es komme auf Einfachheit bei der Nutzung, Transparenz in allen Bereichen und eine Art Omnichannel-Verfügbarkeit der strukturiert aufbereiteten Daten an, die beim Geschäft mit Print anfallen. Und das nicht nur in der Produktion, sondern auch in Management und Administration, und vor allem beim Go-to-Market. Das Wichtigste sei nicht, sich noch mehr mit Technologie beschäftigen zu müssen, sondern den richtigen Digital Mindset zu entwickeln: Offen, flexibel, vorausdenkend, auf den Kontext und auf Kollaboration ausgerichtet. Die beiden Gesprächspartner eröffnen folgerichtig einen Dialog, dem sich alle Interessierten anschließen können. LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mathias-erlandsson-aa780b15/

At FESPA in Barcelona, Editor-in-Chief Morten Reitoft takes a detailed walkthrough of the Canon booth together with Matthew Faulkner, exploring the company’s latest developments in wide-format print, UVgel technology, and production applications. The conversation begins with Canon’s highly successful Colorado M-series platform, which has now surpassed 6,000 installations worldwide, before moving into the company’s newest addition, the Colorado XL, Canon’s entry into the 3.4-meter roll-to-roll and hybrid printing market. Matthew Faulkner explains how Canon continues to evolve the UVgel platform with modular upgrades, higher productivity, matte and gloss printing, microtextures, and new automation technologies designed to simplify handling of large-format media while maintaining high image quality at industrial production speeds. The discussion also explores how wide-format print is increasingly connected to packaging, décor, retail graphics, and point-of-sale production, while Canon continues expanding across commercial print, labels, packaging, and industrial inkjet applications. A deep and insightful conversation about technology platforms, digital transformation, productivity, and why Canon believes the future of print lies in helping customers develop entirely new business opportunities, not simply replacing analog production with digital.

At FESPA in Barcelona, Editor-in-Chief Morten Reitoft continues the conversation at the Canon booth with Matthew Faulkner, focusing less on technology specifications and more on what really captures attention, the applications themselves. Standing inside Canon’s “Sensory Gallery,” the discussion explores how print can engage multiple senses through texture, light, tactile surfaces, layered printing, and visually striking retail experiences. From backlit displays and fine art to retail décor and packaging, the examples shown demonstrate how wide-format print is increasingly becoming part of complete brand experiences rather than standalone graphics. The conversation also dives into programmatic print, connected campaigns, and how physical print increasingly works together with digital channels to create stronger customer engagement. Matthew Faulkner explains why tactile experiences matter more than ever in an increasingly digital world, and why physical print still has the power to stop people, attract attention, and influence purchasing decisions. A fascinating discussion about sensory communication, retail psychology, attention economy, and why beautiful print still matters.

Eight years ago was very different for Expresta and owner Matej Kitka - "Now I am a big boy," he says with a smile as we meet him at Ultimate Tech's booth in Hall 8B at Drupa. The company has grown, and with it the need for automation. Reported by Jacques Michiels.

Commercial print is still alive and kicking, and the best proof of this is when companies like Pressious Arvanitidis not only invest in new Heidelberg technology but also plan for the future with a new, young, and very optimistic 3rd generation taking over the leadership. About an hour's drive from Athens, we find Pressious Arvanitidis - not difficult to find, as it's practically the only building in the area. The weather is fantastic, and the hospitality is great as well. We are visiting Pressious Arvanitidis as they have invested in an XL-106 8-color 21K. Together with new plate setters and folding machines, the new technology will increase productivity, speed, and profitability, taking over the job from two older roll-fed Speedmasters. Pressious Arvanitidis also became FSC-certified to serve customers, increasing the sustainability needs. By all means, a fantastic day with our new friends from Greece - thank you guys!
