At Print Next18 in Stockholm April 25th-26th printers, vendors and even customers met to the bi-annual event - previously covered by INKISH.TV under the name Grakom I/O.

Deborah Corn is a well-known person in the printing industry. At almost every event she appears with her iconic look and her sharp tongue. She is by far the person that has done most to get INKISH into especially the US-print industry, and we consider her a good friend. While we were working together on Project Peacock Peeks which very soon will be delivered to you (and it's cool), we got the chance to make this 'Conversations' with her. Like the other conversations we have done with people like Thayer Long, Wim Fransen, Richard Askam, Peter Ollén and many more - this is an almost un-edited conversation between Deborah Corn and editor Morten Reitoft. Enjoy.

INK and paper is some of the most important ingredients for making a good printed product. At DRUPA 2016 we had a great opportunity talking to CEO Yakup Benli from Toyo Printing Inks - talking with him about ink and of course also how he see the future with a lot of proprietary inks.

Mathias Erlandsson is not just the CEO, but he is also the founder and developer of a completely new and groundbreaking MIS/EPR system for the printing industry. We met him at DRUPA and had an open chat about Omikai, the market and the challenges bringing new software to the market. What we really like about the your entrepreneur is that he and his company aim to make a standard one-size fits all software solution - and not only have customers embraced this strategy, but also investor and chairman of the board Thomas Petersson praised the strategy at the recent Grafkom I/O. See the interview here: http://www.inkish.tv/Episode.aspx?vid=a7XwCDBa61Q

INKISH.TV met with CEO Håvard Grjotheim from 07 Media in Oslo a couple of months ago - and that was an interesting. 07 Media is one of the largest printers in Norway - or to be more precise, 07 Media is not only a printer, but produces a lot of different products and services. Hårvard Grjotheim is not only a charismatic leader since 07, but he is also having a great international experience, since he among other things have been president for Intergraph.

Lasertryk.dk has in the past years become the absolute lightning tower in the Danish and even in the Scandinavian printing industry, so what wouldn't be more natural than paying them a visit. CEO Esben Mols Kabell explain about how he and his partner Anders Groenborg started and how they got to where they are today. Esben Mols Kabell also gives his views on the investments they have done in Heidelberg H-UV, his view on Inkjet - and since this text is updated October 2016, we now know that Lasertryk.dk decided to invest in a HP T-240 printer. Watch or re-watch this great episode - and which was one of the very first episodes on INKISH.TV.

At Graph Expo 2014 I first met Brett Heap from Opensoft or to be more precise I met him at a booth at Graph Expo presenting Scissorhands. It took a little while to understand exactly what Scissorhands as, but nice scissor girls - inspired from the film Edward Scissorhand, the young girls were dressed with scissor hands and made an appearance that at least would catch attention. Scissorhands is a software/hardware plugin that enables cutters to operate smarter, faster and extremely more simple. We at INKISH.TV have been fans of Scissorhands since then and have spoken about them at every given opportunity - finally we got time with Brett Heap at the recent GraphExpo, where he explains about this REALLY great and cool product.

"I honestly believe if we hadn't done what we did we wouldn't be here today" Please give a warm welcome to CCO Kasper Larsen and board member Gitte Haar from KLS PurePrint. No doubt that the environment is on the agenda in these years. Greenhouse gasses, global warming and growing concerns from both consumers, NGO's, politicians of course also require the printing industry to think. KLS PurePrint is not just thinking - they are actually doing and together with a few other printers across Europe PurePrint has been defined as a new brand for not just environmental friendly production but also cradle to cradle responsibility. KLS PurePrint has been one of the world's leading printing companies in relation to figure out how to actually be responsible for future generations and is our opinion a lightning tower in the printing industry. Of course, any print company owner can and must speculate about the feasibility and the financial consequences going all-in but according to CCO Kasper Larsen, it seems that going responsible is also a financial advantage. Please see this important INKISH film and learn from some of the very first first-movers within the PurePrint concept.

This episode was recorded a long time ago - not because we didn't find it interesting, but since we wanted to be able to explain ebeam technology as good as we could.

Andy Campbell must have one of the greatest work in the world. Working as Application and Innovation Manager for Ricoh Europe gives him the opportunity to think about applications and products that can support Ricoh's ever increasing number of customers to increase their profit.

A couple of months ago INKISH.TV was invited to Trondheim to participate in the annual meeting arranged by the Norwegian Federation of Printers. The event was a three day event, combining professional and social activities. Speakers from all over Norway came and made the days extremely interesting. On the second day we were also invited to see a great packaging printer 'Eskefabrikken' which was a stunning experience. The speakers were well prepared and we believe that the leaders of the industry took inspiration with them, back home.
