All the major offset manufacturers have machines that exceed the 20,000 sheets per hour benchmark, but do we really need them? Anthony Thirlby helps printers around the world be as efficient as possible, but are the new fast printing machines something for everybody? We also hear about 20% gains in efficiency, but the reality is that these new machines are WAY more efficient than the machines they replace - and it raises the question about what is more important? There is no question that the newest and fastest machines are engineering marvels, but with more speed and the same order volume, the utilization will be lower. We are curious to hear what the manufacturers think about this and why they believe faster machines are needed - but start here - super interesting discussion!

In this session, Anthony Thirlby talks to Editor Morten B. Reitoft about The New Offsetmachine, which doesn't yet exist—what is important? What is not? LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthony-thirlby-26b6367/

Mark Vruno is talking to Anthony Aquino from Fujifilm about Fujifilm's 790 series inkjet printer.

The supply chain, as we know, is under pressure since both technology and demand for print changes. At the recent PrintNext19 event we met with Product Manager Michael Thorvaldsson from Antalis. Behind the "Product Manager" title, you'll find a dedication from Antalis to define their role in the future print market. For many years Reel-based paper to i.e., web-offset printing companies have been supplied directly from the mills. The Merchants on the other side has built efficient distributions for the sheetfed offset and digital print market. With the growth in digital web-based printing, the future of distribution is maybe also challenged? Michael Thorvaldsson regularly visits printing companies in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden to ensure both a top-of-mind, but also, and maybe more important to understand the demands printing companies have as well as focusing on the range of substrates that Antalis represents. In this film, Michael Thorvaldsson talks about hybrid paper and some of the challenges of being Antalis.

Wayne Beckett talks to Annegret Bönemann from foryouandyourcustomers about customer experiences on print websites. Do we know our customers? Do we understand their needs? Are we building trust? Simple questions but are they being asked internally.

Let's talk to a happy customer; always good to hear real stories from the actual users of the equipment. Polish family business Novacode is one of the loyal and larger users of Mark Andy, with 4 machines already in production and always looking to improve and be even more productive and efficient in what they do. Flexo is their game, and they look at the hybrid solutions and consider whether integrating inkjet into an end-to-end solution could fit into their portfolio.

In this conversation, Morten interviews Anna, an editor from Poland, about her experiences and insights into the Polish printing industry. Anna shares that Poland is known as the "Printing House of Europe" due to its large and active printing industry. Despite Poland being a relatively new member of the EU, it has a significant market, with around 40 million people. The EU's support, particularly in subsidizing printing companies, was not only for business development but also to protect democracy by ensuring the free dissemination of information. Anna discusses the transformation of the Polish printing industry from the communist era, where there were only a few government-controlled printing companies, to a thriving sector with approximately 2,500 companies, contributing significantly to the European GDP. This growth reflects the broader changes in Poland, from a period of limited freedom and technology to becoming a vital part of the European Union and the global printing industry. Anna also reflects on her experiences attending Drupa, the world’s largest printing equipment exhibition, highlighting how the event has evolved. She notes that the upcoming Drupa is expected to be different, with more emphasis on cost-cutting and digital innovations like artificial intelligence and machine learning, indicating a shift in the industry's focus towards more sustainable and technologically advanced practices. This summary encapsulates Anna's journey in the printing industry, the evolution of the printing sector in Poland, and her perspectives on the future of trade shows like Drupa in reflecting industry trends and advancements.

Wayne from INKISH is at The Print Show at the NEC in Birmingham, speaking with long-time friend Andy Kent from Fujifilm. Andy shares that this is Fujifilm’s third consecutive year at the show, and the timing couldn’t be better. Following the 2023 launch of their Print-on-Demand business — selling directly into the market — The Print Show has become a key platform to engage customers, build awareness, and showcase innovation. The 2025 event, now bigger and busier than ever, reflects growing industry support, helped by the addition of The Sign Show and a more central Hall 3 location. Fujifilm is presenting several exciting developments on its stand this year. One highlight is the Acuity Triton, a wide-format system featuring a water-based UV ink — a major step forward in ink innovation for the segment. Another is the company’s new Supercolor range of five-colour presses, introducing a pink channel integrated into the colour separations. Rather than being used as a simple spot colour, the pink expands the colour gamut, enabling richer, more vibrant tones and improving difficult shades like oranges. This advancement offers printers an easy way to differentiate their output, delivering greater creative potential and visual impact. Andy notes that while the technology is there, many printers still need to educate designers and brand owners about the wider colour possibilities. Fujifilm is taking a proactive approach by engaging directly with the creative community and using open days at their Luton showroom to demonstrate what five-colour printing can achieve. The goal is to build awareness and demand from the design stage — helping printers stand out and add value. As active members of the IPIA, Fujifilm continues to bridge the gap between design and print, encouraging collaboration and innovation across the sector. Andy emphasizes that five-colour technology is not only effective but also accessible and affordable, providing print businesses with a practical way to enhance their offerings. A vibrant discussion on innovation, creativity, and collaboration in print — and a closer look at how Fujifilm is redefining possibilities in both wide format and digital print — filmed live at The Print Show in Birmingham.

Pat McGrew from Inkish interviews Andrew Strang, Business Development Manager at CERM, during LabelExpo 2025 in Barcelona. Andrew explains that CERM has spent decades building an open software architecture and a strong network of integrations with industry partners, allowing them to serve as the backbone of MIS for label and packaging printers. Customers, he says, are looking for end-to-end workflows—systems that can seamlessly connect prepress, presses, finishing, and converting equipment to move jobs efficiently through production. He notes that while many companies want to partner with CERM, the choice of integrations is often driven by customer needs. A recent example is CERM’s newly launched two-way integration with Durst, which was developed in response to customer demand and is already live at several sites. Andrew describes how these collaborations often start with customer requests, then move into product team discussions and technical trials until stable connections are established. While many in the industry view CERM as just another MIS vendor, Andrew highlights their deep specialization: their heritage is in labels and flexible packaging, and they are now expanding into folding carton. Unlike generalist MIS systems, CERM focuses solely on this sector, meaning its R&D and support are entirely dedicated to the specific needs of label and packaging converters. He concludes that this singular focus makes CERM a strong fit for companies in this space, offering solutions built precisely for their workflows.
