Reitoft from INKISH speaks with Feliks Zheng from Weifang Donghang Graphic Technology at Expográfica in Guadalajara about bringing Chinese flexographic printing technology to the Mexican market. The conversation explores the company’s ambitions in Latin America, the importance of local service and support, and how pricing, quality, and production speed all play a role in today’s competitive flexo market. The interview also reflects on the growing international presence at Expográfica and the opportunities global suppliers see in Mexico’s expanding print industry.

Canon has supported both Print Sample TV and INKISH for years - and it's with great pleasure presenting great print samples from Canon. In these examples, you clearly see the creativity from Canon, but as Host Pat McGrew also explains, utilize various technologies to show users and potential customers the opportunities print can deliver in your communication! Augmented Reality for one!

Everybody who has watched Print Sample TV for the past years knows how important design, papers, print, and the message is. However, suppose you want to be so unique and to make it impossible to counterfeit your print. In that case, it could be pharmaceutical products or anything else where you want to be sure that the packaging is the real thing - then DNS - Diversified Nano Ink - is the answer to your prayers.

Entering the production, you very soon realize how organized and busy people are, and you understand right away how the company sees the future.

Investing in digital printing equipment combined with the Müller Martini solution - and skilled people - Linemark does make a difference! LinkedIn Profiles: Steve Bearden David Ashton

In this film, we wrap up our experience from PRINTING United together with Ford Bowers, the CEO of PRINTING United Alliance. Still, we also get a chance to see some of the products and print samples HP has spent the past three days showcasing.

Fabio Valoti is responsible for the production plant where many of Meccanotecnica's parts are manufactured. For Meccanotecnica, it's important to control the production of the most critical parts and time-sensitive parts, such as spare parts, as even small deviations from requirements can affect a machine's performance. Valoti has been with Meccanotecnica for more than 20 years, and explains that even the most complex machines become "easy" to make if just the CAD/CAM is done right.

The potential with Inkjet is amazing, and recently Seiko Instruments in Germany employed Fabio Tallarico, who has an engineering background in textile. With his background, he is supporting the growing interest in the textile industry in inkjet. Interesting!

Some of the products produced at the Meccanotecnica plant are tested in a lab before installation, and others are tested every 5 or in batches, using advanced quality control software/hardware. Fabio Tagliaferri ensures the quality together with his team.

INKISH hosted for the first time ever our NON-EVENT. The Non-event is celebrating the people that have been in front of the camera, or been supporting INKISH during the past years. This is a new recurring event, and the idea is to give space for the people we have featured to connect in a new way. We invited 150 people, and 32 decided to join us. Our guests came from Japan, Canada, USA, UK, Belgium, Sweden, and Denmark - and we are confident that next year, even more, will come. We asked most of our participants to talk LIVE during the dinner - and here is Fabian Prudhomme from Belgium. Fabian Prudhomme is the Global VP Sales & Alliances at CHILI publish. With a broad background within the printing industry and maybe even more on the side that deals with software, Fabian Prudhomme is a well-known and recognized person. We had the pleasure working with Fabian Prudhomme both when he worked at Enfocus, and even more since he joined the CHILI publish team. Enjoy!

Enjoy!

At Expográfica in Guadalajara, Héctor Yáñez, President of ANIDIGRAF, and Jorge Rebollar, CEO of TASIC, reflect on the strong momentum behind this year’s exhibition and the continued growth of the Mexican print industry. The conversation explores the increasing international presence at Expográfica, the growing quality of visitors and investment discussions, and why the 2028 edition will move to León for the first time in the event’s history. The interview also highlights how Expográfica continues evolving beyond a traditional machinery exhibition by expanding its conference program, attracting more international exhibitors, and connecting printers with industrial sectors such as automotive, aerospace, and food production. With nearly 620 tons of machinery on the show floor and strong early demand already for the next edition, the discussion underscores Expográfica’s role as one of Latin America’s most important print industry events.

At Expográfica in Mexico, Nayelli González Menéndez and Claudia Mendoza Angeles, from Revista el Impresor, speak with Antonio Reus, Sales Director at Müller Martini, about the opportunities shaping the Mexican and Latin American print markets. With the integration of Hunkeler and Müller Martini now underway, the focus is on connectivity, workflow automation, efficiency, and helping printers become more competitive in a fast-changing global market. From digital transformation to new business opportunities in northern Mexico, this conversation looks at how technology, integration, and innovation are redefining the future of print.

The BOBST Open House in Alpharetta is, of course, about presenting technology to potential customers. It's about selling. But for the attendees, it's also about asking questions that can avoid future investment mistakes, and during Dean Haertel from BOBST's presentation, I overheard a very interesting question. The question was how BOBST avoids stitching issues. Stitching can be seen when multiple printheads are clustered in a print bar and can either leave a tiny white line or a line of double print. The question came from Jodi Westphal from Western Shield Label & Packaging. Stitching is handled by BOBST in a smart and simple way, but this we will explain in INKISH.NEWS.

We were in Philadelphia filming a super interesting printing company. Of course, we took the opportunity to meet our friends from PRINTING United at a headquarters that, by all means, showed that you'll soon find them at a new address. Mark Subers is the President of PRINTING United Expo, and we got the chance to talk to him about expectations for PRINTING United 2024 at a time when both drupa and also Label Expo are taking place - Label Expo even on the same dates as PRINTING United. As always super nice talking to Mark Subers!

For more than 30 years, the family behind Nuance has built its printing business in Sandy, Utah. When INKISH visited two years ago, the company operated under another name as part of a major American printing franchise. Today, the team, ownership, and equipment remain the same—but the company has taken a significant new step. Nuance is now independent. For owner Andy Selcho, leaving a network that had contributed considerably to the company’s development was not an easy decision. The business was founded by his father, and the former franchise had played an important role in helping it reach its current position. But when the agreement ended, the family had to consider not only where the company had come from, but where it wanted to go next. The result is Nuance—a name and identity intended to represent the company more authentically and allow the team to provide a more personal and valuable service to its customers. The printing industry has changed significantly. A considerable part of the market continues to focus on speed and low prices, but Nuance sees growing opportunities in print created with greater intention. The objective is not simply to manufacture another printed product, but to understand what the piece is expected to accomplish. What role does it play in the customer journey? What should the recipient notice, feel, understand, or do? And how can materials, design, production, finishing, and delivery help the printed communication perform its job more effectively? Nuance has always operated as a high-value printer, but the ambition is now to make everything it produces more valuable. That does not necessarily mean making every project more expensive. Sometimes the improvement comes from asking better questions, understanding the purpose of the job, or making small changes that encourage the recipient to look again. The company describes this ambition as creating “curious customers.” An unusual business card, a tactile surface, an unexpected format, or a carefully considered finishing detail can reward another look. The printed piece becomes more than information—it becomes an experience that creates interest and strengthens communication. Nuance also recognizes that no printing company can own every technology required to produce every possible solution. The company’s responsibility is therefore not limited to what can be manufactured internally. When specialist partners or external capabilities are needed, the objective remains the same: to make the process seamless and deliver the strongest possible result for the customer. The transformation into Nuance has not changed the ownership, employees, or production equipment. What has changed is the company’s way of thinking about print and the value it can create. The long-term ambition is both simple and bold: to make the world better by making print better. Watch the film and meet Andy Selcho and the Nuance team as they begin a new independent chapter—built on family history, customer conversations, valuable communication, and print that rewards another look.

For many, eProductivity Software/EFI Connect is a recurring annual event, and for some, it's a first-time experience. First-time visitor Korby Gutherie, Executive VP, shortly explains why he believes eProductivity Software/EFI Connect is great.

The Federation of Swedish Printers - Grafiska Företagen, has updated a report that in our opinion, is a valuable tool to understand the printing industry. Based on surveys among 2.000 companies over seven years, and comprehensive analysis work from Bisnode turned out a figure where you could easily see who in the printing industry makes money. Now, this report has been updated, and there are differences from the first one. Where Large Format was one of the most profitable segments, and even though Large Format is still a precious segment, the trends are unfortunately developing in the wrong direction. Enjoy the conversation editor Morten Reitoft has with CEO Ravindra Parasnis.
