Educating Designers & Turning Waste ...

At the recent Scanpack exhibition in Gothenburg, we met with Managing DIrector Paul Hornby from Foilco. The UK-based foil producer tells us about their new environmental program. "The metalized foil itself is environmentally friendly but the polyester base delivering the foil isn't and since I want to my little contribution to a better environment, we collect the waste and use it for recycling - in our case cement." Paul Hornby also tells about the "Multiplicity" event where designers can learn how to use foils in their designs. Cool to talk to Paul - but listen for yourself :-)

Eduardo Temkin · CEO · Designer Films · ...

At Printing United Expo in Orlando, Pat McGrew speaks with Eduardo Temkin from Designer Films, who attended the show to find a digital printer capable of printing on polypropylene. Eduardo explains that his company traditionally uses flexographic printing but faces challenges with small-volume orders due to the high setup costs of plates, separate color stations, and ink preparation. He notes that digital printing offers an ideal solution, allowing them to produce short-run jobs efficiently without the need for multiple plates or manual color mixing. While flexo remains the best option for large-scale production because of lower ink costs once the press is running, digital provides flexibility and speed for smaller customers who need faster, more economical solutions. Eduardo says the show has been impressive, with well-prepared exhibitors and a range of innovative technology, and he was pleased to discover the right machine to meet his company’s needs. His visit reflects a broader industry trend toward blending traditional flexographic expertise with digital innovation to serve a wider customer base.

FESPA Netherlands is the knowledge and network organization for the visual communications industry for print and sign companies. It is part of the umbrella Fespa organization, which is organizing its trade fair again here in Amsterdam. Founded in 1962, FESPA is a global federation of 37 national associations, each of which plays a local connecting and supporting role for the local LFP and Print & Sign sector. Since it is Amsterdam's turn again this year, we thought it was only appropriate to offer the sympathetic Dutch association the right to speak. * Interview in Dutch, subtitles in English. -------- (NL) FESPA Nederland is dé kennis- en netwerkorganisatie voor de visuele communicatie-industrie voor print- en signbedrijven.

I almost ALWAYS write the introduction text on YouTube, LinkedIn, and INKISH.TV, and to be honest, quite strange, to write about me. In this Conversations, CEO Julie Watson from Ultimate TechnoGraphics asked if she could interview me, and of course. However, it is important to stress that I am not in the market to promote myself, but ALWAYS promote our great industry and the amazing people I am so lucky to meet. Being an editor for INKISH, I take very seriously, and I hope the words I share here will be an understanding of where I come from, what drives me, and how I hope my words can inspire the people that see, listen, and read the stories we deliver on INKISH.TV and INKISH.NEWS.

Ziga and I had an extra day (in between jobs) in Los Angeles, and well, the great restaurants, the beaches, and all the things you can experience in LA were tempting, yet we decided to spend a day with Lithographix, and what a great experience. Ed Binder, the President of Lithographix and its 240 employees, is a living example of a thriving industry. If you do things right, you can grow your business, and Lithographix is and should inspire us all. Laser-sharp marketing, dedicated sales, and a production platform that can deliver almost every printed product is one of the secret sauces. However, the employees and the focus on fault-free deliveries are the most important. Truly great day - thank you for having us :-)

Eagle Systems Cold Foiler on AM Litho...

Minutes after arriving at AM Litho in Chicopee, MA - a smiling Al Meadows welcomed us. I believe everybody who arrives at AM Litho comments on the 'rain forest' you have to pass to get into the printing company. Al Meadows first gives us a tour starting with the rain forest, the history of the Caribbean-inspired wall paintings, and the entire production. In the pre-press area, we meet Fred Gamber, who joins us for the rest of the tour and is part of the interview. AM Litho is a super interesting printing company, focusing on high quality with the abilities of the Eagle Systems cold-foil unit on the company's Koenig & Bauer KBA 106. We are entering the color lab where colors are mixed and checked so they comply 100% with the high-end brands that trust their work to AM Litho. You'll easily recognize the iconic whiskey and perfume brands, and when you see the work put into the colors and the quality insurance, you get a sense of what AM Litho is all about. Besides the KBA with Eagle Systems, the other printing presses are from Komori. Al Meadows is very pleased with his relationship with Komori - and for the first time (for INKISH), we get to see the Komori IS40 (digital inkjet printer based on the Konica-Minolta KM1). Also, this machine is highly appreciated by both Al Meadows and Fred Gamber. The digital department is all Canon printers, which are also highly appreciated by the two. You realize these people invest in technology, supporting their business and supplier relationships. AM Litho is veteran-owned as Al Meadows, and many employees are veterans. AM Litho highly values employees, and you see signs of appreciation and constantly reaching customer satisfaction as a very integrated part of what makes AM Litho, AM Lithography! Great story!

DRUPA is the worlds most important print...

At the recent Hunkeler Innovationdays 2019, we bumped into Sabine Geldermann who is the Director of DRUPA, and we got the chance to sit down and talk to her about DRUPA 2020. DRUPA is by most people in the printing industry considered the most important and also the biggest – and as Sabine Geldermann tells in this film, vendors even plan developing cycles around the DRUPA 4 years cycles – so no wonder. However, looking at the numbers DRUPA also becomes smaller and smaller – and, of course, some of the decreases come from the fact that the industry is shrinking, but some may also come from the fact that trade shows, in general, have difficulties attracting the visitors to come. The numbers from the previous DRUPA in 2016 also show something that must be a challenge. 68% of the visitors came from Europe and only 9% from, i.e. North America. To be a true global print show requires not only vendors from all over the world but also visitors from all over the world. Sabine Geldermann tells that some local German tradeshows have closed and been absorbed by DRUPA but also that the number of visitors from outside Europe is growing. In this very openminded interview with Sabine Geldermann, you get a great insight into the upcoming DRUPA 2020, and though it still seems to be far away Sabine Geldermann tells INKISH.TV that the sales for 2020 have already reached the 2016 level and all key accounts are assured. Good for DRUPA, good for the industry – and regardless of where you are located it’s time to organize hotels, Airbnb’s and travels to be sure to get accommodation – and just in case you haven’t been in Düsseldorf before: Be prepared to spend an awful lot of money to get even the worst shitty hotel
