At drupa 2024, Tecnau launched its patent-pending Revolution 50 auto-setup line, automatically making all the changeovers. This is smart if you have multiple designs on a roll of paper, as the barcode printed automatically adjusts the settings, so you get all your formats delivered as you like. All the different sizes in the stacker are perfectly stacked for further processing. LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pete-dolfis-1a07a825/

In this film from PRINTING United, Pete Dolfis from Tecnau explains how its guillotine technology enables cleaner cuts when producing high-quality postcards, for example. We also get to talk more about how digital printing is paving its way into the commercial space, constantly raising the bar on the finishing side. But listen for yourself :-) LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pete-dolfis-1a07a825/

Heidelbergs Prime Fire 106 is a digital printing machined aimed for the packaging market. With a large format, excellent quality and digital capabilities it not only do short-run packaging, but it also opens up for completely new business opportunities. In this Print Sample TV episode host Pat McGrew show samples from Japanese K.K.Kyoshin Paper & Package who has made a web-to-packaging portal called Hacoplay. Enjoy!

Our beloved host, Pat McGrew, for sure loves dogs, and so do millions of other people. The pet market is one of the fastest-growing markets, and who should have thought that "dogalized" (personalized but with dogs instead!) packaging could be the next big thing - but in this Print Sample TV episode, Pat McGrew will show you. Be surprised!

The Screen L350UV label printer is an amazing piece of hardware, and in this Print Sample TV edition, Pat McGrew shows the samples from the machine. Pat McGrew emphasis that the red colors that apparently are difficult with inkjet stand out brilliantly. Red is dangerous, but with the L350UV, we are unsure whether it's dangerous or just makes a lot of sense! Judge for yourself!

Vpaper is really exciting product from Peleman making double folds on papers in order to get layflat binding. This is a really cool machine and you can meet Peleman at www.argosinspirationdays.com.

I met Peeter Adamson for the first time years ago in the Estonian city Tartu. An old and nice city with a bar in one of the oldest and largest gun-powder storage buildings from ancient times, but of course, this has nothing to do with today's interview :-) Peeter Adamson is the CEO and owner of the printing company Paar and decided to go to the Horizon Finishing First event in Quickborn to check out a new folding machine. Adamson, however, says that he is replacing a twelve years old machine and believe that the challenging time is a great time to invest in new technology. But listen for yourself, and maybe you'll agree with him?

On September 29th, Fujifilm delivered an excellent presentation of their latest products. The second day focused on Fujifilm Jet Press 750s, and about 50-60 people from the UK, Benelux, and Scandinavia showed up. The agenda was to hear, see, and even touch the new Fujifilm Jet Press 750s. INKISH covered the event with numerous interviews you can find on INKISH.TV. On day two, we took the opportunity to look at many aspects of Fujifilm's graphic offerings as well as the Peak Performance Print demonstrations - so enjoy this really great film - filmed and edited by Jan Majnik, INKISH - of course :-)

On September 28th, Fujifilm delivered an excellent presentation of their latest products. About 100+ people from mainly Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain, and Portugal met in the Fujifilm demo center located near the airport. The agenda was to hear, see, and even touch the new Fujifilm Jet Press 750s + the Revoria PC1120. INKISH covered the event with numerous interviews that you soon can find on INKISH.TV - so start here with our "postcard" from Day One.

"Project Peacock Print Fair is basically a traveling show-and-tell event where designers, print buyers, and the printing industry can see amazing print samples," and so it was. The very first Project Peacock Print Fair held in NYC March 14th, 2019 was merely great. The printing industry met the designers and print buyers, and cheerful music arose. Tobias Degsell from Combiner and Trish Witkowski from Foldfactory.com did two engaging keynotes, and the exhibitors presented some of the greatest print samples of today's technology. GREAT event!

Super interesting conversation with Paula Comes Ahedo & Oscar Vidal!

Paul Zamfir is Managing Partner with Printman in Romania - a distributor we met at Weilburger Graphics's booth a few days ago. Now we meet him at the Post Press Alliance booth, and of course, I had to ask him whether he has favorite products among all the machines we see - see the film to get the answer :-)  

James Quirk is talking for Paul Zamfir at the Weilburger Graphics stand at Drupa 2024. Paul Zamfir distributes Weilburger Graphics products in Romania.

German Language with English subtitles: CEO and Lawyer Paul Albert Deimel from the German Bundesverband Druck und Medien BVDM gave a presentation about the temperature of the German printing industry. There are fewer companies and fewer employees, and dark clouds are in the sky with the current crisis. Here you can see his presentation.

The MaxLiner 3D is an industrial-scale digital varnishing and metallization machine made by St. Gallen-based Steinemann DPE. Steinemann DPE is part of the Leonhard Kurz group and produces several digital embellishment machines for packaging and labels. In this film, CEO Patrik Moser offers a walkthrough of the Steinemann DPE MaxLiner 3D to learn how the machine is built—it's a big and very productive machine! You can see it at drupa 2024 in Düsseldorf! LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/patrik-moser-23a10a35/

Here, CEO Patrik Moser, for the first time, shows the new MaxLiner 2D - a new cut-sheet version specifically made for commercial printers. Fast setup time, high speed, and high quality are the ingredients that make this machine unique. When Patrik Moser talks about the 2D version, it's essentially since it's printed on the back of the foil and transferred to the substrate, you won't be able to have a raised varnish the same way as when you print directly to the substrate. Both technologies are good and can be used for different applications. Great to learn from!  

In this interview with CEO Patrik Moser, he also emphasized that he is the CTO. Steinemann DPE produces the machines exclusively sold through the Kurz network. In the interview, we talk about technology, how it is part of development, and what people should expect at drupa. Enjoy! LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/patrik-moser-23a10a35/

With digital print and the BoxPlant 2025 vision from BHS comes the necessity for workflow, and BHS need a VERY fast and very scalable workflow solution that does not only handle the print but all the things around how they see the future of packaging. A tiny insight to this is understanding that a simple QR code can have SO many different functions depending on where in the workflow the code appears - and can therefore be both a marketing and messaging driver for the consumer, as well as a tracking and initiator of different processes from file-creation, to planning, to substrates, to print, to corrugating, to converting, to the finished box making, logistics, and shipping. An enormous task that requires software specifically supporting the vision! Patrik Huettig has domain knowledge and understands the entire flow, and is, therefore, in our mind, quite ideal as the team leader bridging all the needs and making it happen! GREAT vision - and we are excited to see everything in action!

That picture shows a nice home where I work right now. The sunlight may be visualizing that there's a light at the end of the tunnel. We're getting through this together. And for me, it was important to stress that has been a long time. But you always should stay positive and optimistic. And I'm working for an organization who provides me the strength and this positive attitude. This is basically the reason why I sent you this picture. I'm a German. So Germans like it in a much structured way. Sometimes upstairs, sometimes downstairs, sometimes on the sofa or a couch. My work situation was completely different. I was traveling about 150 days a year. US, Asia, Africa, Latin America. I was all over the world. It is important to understand that when you work remotely, you easily feel disconnected. My organization, BW Papersystems or the Barry-Wehmiller Group. We have a culture which helps us to stay connected. And I feel that I matter. It talks about the leadership style and that everything what matters is the people within an organization. We have 40 hours a week where we touch the people in our organization as an employer. 40 times more than any church probably. You have a huge impact whether the person is happy or not happy. People are more satisfied and more fulfilled. They go home and they are better family, fathers, mothers, sisters. That has an impact on the family. Bob always says: That is the answer to world peace. This machine is cutting paper and board to sheets. This is one of the larger machines we typically build. Things go well and the team spirit is up. It's a very small machine, very compact, maybe as large as my desk here. Cuts very sensitive materials at a high speed. So, for example, the pharmaceutical leaflets. You see me on this picture. That was one of the few moments where I was in contact with customers. We could show the machine. It was really fun to talk to people.
