David Zwang has been in the industry for a long time and continues to be 'everywhere' :-) And this time in the BOBST Open House in Alpharetta, Georgia. In this almost ten minutes long interview, we get to know a few of the many roles David Zwang has covered in the past years - but for now, enjoy the interview where you get different perspectives!

As with so many companies, Grafisk Maskinfabrik or GM started 40 years ago in the current Director Uffe Nielsens parents' kitchen. Today GM is a recognized supplier of roll-based finishing equipment for digital and flexo labels, both under their own brand and an OEM supplier. Recently GM has moved to a new headquarter where the company now enjoys both a larger showroom and new and modern facilities with space for growth. In this Conversations, Director Uffe Nielsen talk to Editor Morten Reitoft about the history, the current situation, and the future. Great story - so please enjoy.

Martin Overgaard Hansen is the relatively new CEO of Glunz & Jensen. The company has deep roots in the pre-press industry, producing equipment for high-quality plate-making. With administration and R&D in Denmark and production in Slovakia, the company is in a restructuring mode where the company is scaled to meet the future's needs. Martin Overgaard Hansen comes from outside the printing industry and has the tough job managing the restructuring. In this INKISH Conversation, we get a great insight into how the company sees itself and its future role.

Sustainability is one of the most critical topics in the global printing industry these years. Global warming is a severe challenge to everybody, and while companies, individuals, and governments work on solutions to reduce the CO2 in the atmosphere, more things influence global temperatures. Henrik Svensmark is an Astro Physicist at DTU Space and has for years researched how solar flares influence cloud formation, which also has a huge impact on global warming. In this unusual presentation (for being in the graphic arts industry), Henrik Svensmark guides our audience through the research and the ideas they are pursuing. Great presentation and the INKISH team is happy that we can bring this interesting research to our audience. Thank you Henrik Svensmark.

Gisele Robeson, talks to Wayne about the Fiery Impress system, the award winning DFE that easily integrates with any digital inkjet press or workflow.

At PRINTING United 2026 in Las Vegas, Pat McGrew meets Giselle from Fiery for a first look at a new capability in Fiery ImageViewer — Object Editor. Anyone working in production knows the problem. A file has already reached the Fiery, it has been RIPped, and then somebody notices that one element isn't quite right. Traditionally, that could mean sending the job back to prepress, reopening the original file, making the correction in an application such as Photoshop, resubmitting the file, and re-RIPping it. Object Editor is designed to shorten that process. Fiery ImageViewer already allows operators to inspect RIPped files at full resolution and make color adjustments directly at the DFE. With the new Object Editor, AI-based technology can identify individual objects within the rasterized page, allowing the operator to select a specific element and apply a targeted color correction without affecting surrounding elements. That means a background, image, or other element can potentially be adjusted directly in production while the job remains on the Fiery server. And importantly, the correction isn't simply lost after printing. The edited job remains available in Fiery Command WorkStation, allowing operators to return to it, review the changes, and reuse the corrected version when necessary. For busy production environments receiving large numbers of jobs through web-to-print or automated workflows, avoiding unnecessary trips back to prepress can save valuable time and keep presses moving. Object Editor will be introduced with Fiery's next-generation FS800 Pro platform, making it another example of how AI is being used not as a headline, but to solve a very specific production problem. See the problem. Select the object. Fix it. Print. Watch Pat McGrew's conversation with Giselle from Fiery at PRINTING United 2026 in Las Vegas.

Giovanni Vitale, international sales director for SD Italy, points out the versatility of the manufacturer’s Augusta F150R PRO. Distributed in the U.S. by Graphco, the hybrid CNC cutting and plotting system is ideally suited for wide-format rigid and architectural signage applications up to six inches in thickness.

Pat McGrew from Inkish interviews Giovani Vigoni from Esko at LabelExpo about their partnership with CERM. Giovani explains that both companies share the goal of helping converters speed up their time to market so they can serve brand owners more quickly. The integration between Esko’s and CERM’s products enables this by streamlining processes and improving efficiency. He notes that as more label producers expand into folding cartons, the collaboration between Esko and CERM is helping make that transition easier. By having the systems already integrated, companies can add folding carton production alongside labels without major disruptions. Giovani says the partnership allows both companies to bring more value to the market and support customers as their needs evolve.

GEW has powered UV curing systems for decades, but with EOS the company is taking a significant step forward — turning the curing system itself into an increasingly intelligent and connected part of the press. At Labelexpo Americas in Chicago, Wayne Beckett meets Rob Rae from GEW to take a first look at EOS, the company's completely redesigned power and control platform that will gradually replace the established RHINO system. The lamps themselves may look familiar, but what happens behind them is very different. With EOS, GEW introduces intelligence directly into the lamp system. Individual lamps can be serialized and carry information about operating hours, switching cycles, reflector life, performance, and other telemetry — giving converters and OEMs significantly more insight into how their curing systems are actually being used. And that data is becoming increasingly valuable. Press manufacturers can integrate EOS deeply into their control environments, retrieve diagnostics and energy data, and potentially combine curing data with broader production information from the press. For converters, this opens opportunities to better understand uptime, energy consumption, maintenance requirements, and overall equipment performance. For OEMs, flexibility is another major part of the story. GEW can supply everything from a complete curing system with cabinets, cooling, fans, and HMI through to little more than the power supply, cable, and lamp — allowing machine manufacturers to decide how deeply they want to integrate the technology themselves. Rob describes it as Flexible Power. Intelligent Curing. EOS also marks another major change for GEW: the company is bringing production of the new platform in-house. A new 5,000-square-meter manufacturing facility represents a significant investment and gives GEW greater control and knowledge over one of the most critical technologies in its portfolio. In this INKISH film, Wayne Beckett talks with Rob Rae about EOS, intelligent UV curing, telemetry, energy data, OEM integration, IoT, and why the next generation of curing technology is increasingly about much more than simply turning a lamp on and off.

In this 24th episode of Print Sample TV, your host Pat McGrew for the very first time has a few complains. Not about the quality of the Plockmatic binders and the samples, but more because both the creative and the "more boring" sample lacks Call-to-Action or more precise information about how to get a hold on the nice people from Plockmatic. However, when you look at the Pizza Recipe booklet the company has produced, your appetite grows - not sure if it's for Pizza or a new binder, but as usual; Watch, Like, and Share!

In this Get Work Done session, Scott Peterson and Thomas Olofsson from Tecnau give you insight into the world of digital binding - focusing on their Cut Stack products. Cut Stacking can be used for products like postcards, posters, and other flat products, but it can also be used for producing book blocks. Tecnau also presents the inline integration with Canon, so all in all a great overview of Tecnau solutions, and of course, spiced with great conversations and loads of humor :-)

Koenig & Bauer is mostly known for their offset presses and the almost only offset supplier capable of delivering VLF-sized offset presses, particularly for the packaging industry. With the focus on the packaging segment, it's only natural that Koenig & Bauer, over the past years, have developed binding technology and acquired companies to support their mission, and in this Get Work Done session, Mario Gerber gives the audience a super insight into the strategy and the products! Enjoy!

Jordi Giralt is a relatively new CBO with German KAMA. KAMA is more than 125 years old, and as Jordi Giralt explains in the Get Work Done session, the inventor of creasing/scoring - and being one of the first offering folding/gluers, it makes sense. In this session, Jordi Giralt and Editor Morten B. Reitoft talk about the unique products and, therefore, also the value proposition KAMA offers.

Hunkeler has worked with digital print post-press for 41 years and has so many installations that it has almost become the de facto standard in digital post-press. Marco Kunz explains the Starbook Plow Folder in this presentation, and Hans Gut shares about the company's roll-based finishing solutions. Super great chat around the presentation with good insights! Get Work Done is for sure a good headline for what Hunkeler delivers!

Meccanotecnica is probably one of the leading companies in thread-sewn books. In the Get Work Done session, Giulia Sinatra gives our audience a super insight into why thread-sewn books are great and how their technology supports the business!

MBO did what we liked the most - involve customers showing MBO Cobo-stacks cobots at work at customer Kohlhammer. It's super interesting to see, and as it's not a DEMO but real live production, you see the changeover, how little operator invention is needed to serve four folding lines. Afterward, Dietmar Schrimm gives an overview of the technology, and we talk about why some of the digital solutions are very popular in the US and not so much in Europe - we believe it's mainly because people don't know about the opportunities and mainly know MBO for its folders. But an interest Get Work Done session - we are sure you will like!

Books of one is super interesting, and the company Schmedt focuses entirely on books. With their technology, customers can easily make case-bound/hardcover books - interesting for photo book producers and commercial printing companies interested in getting into hardcover book production. This is a LIVE demo from Schmedt, and Constantin Schmedt gives you great insight. Super interesting - the entire process is presented here! Enjoy!

In this Get Work Done session, Bryan Takano, Yasuo Taketsugu, and Naresh Bedi give us a view into the engine room at Horizon, showing their new MiniCABS binding solution, AGVs, and robot arms. It is great to see, and if seeing is believing - you certainly get it here!

In the second interview with Gershon Alon, we go a little deeper into what Production Beat is. One of the most important changes is that Production Beat is vendor-agnostic. You can add any machine to Production Beat and measure everything - machines with HP technology and even legacy hardware, as HP offers readers and sensors. Super cool!  

This is one of the things we like the MOST about the industry - passion! Gershon Alon is the Head of HP PrintOS, and when we asked Gershon Alon a question, it became the longest answer on INKISH ever - and into an episode of its own. Gershon Alon talks about how PrintOS, being vendor agnostic, enables PSPs and developers to integrate any API/SDK allows software into the heart of PrintOS, which is excellent. This is an opportunity for PSPs and other software suppliers to utilize services through the HP eco-system. Still, it also allows you to offer your customers services that would require more user interfaces and, eventually, more complex work. But listen to this exciting answer - and make up your mind yourself!

This is a super fun workflow walkthrough by Gershon Alon and Diego Diaz. Enjoy!

In the first of two interviews with Gershon Alon, we ask him what differentiates the normal interpretation of workflow/automation, and how HP sees it. This interview is supposed to lead up to our second interview, where we talk about Production Beat, but also to understand the four pillars Bob Raus explains in the interview we did with him - also from the HP PreDrupa event in Indianapolis. Dig in!

In this 'Over the Skype' session, German Sacristan from Keypoint Intelligence share his insights about the printing market. Many good subjects. More interesting is the conversation about how printing companies should become relevant - but listen for yourself. 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!
