You see GEW everywhere - and they support conventional mercury-based UV and LED-UV. In this film, Director of Sales & Service Marcus Greenbrook explains how easy it is to shift from mercury to LED if you have a GEW frame and how LED UV is becoming increasingly important for converters. Now GEW is part of the EcoFlexo group. Each member remains an independent company but can offer end-to-end solutions by working together. EcoFlexo has the following members besides GEW - Hamillroad, COE, MPS, and Zeller + GMelin. We produced a film from each EcoFlexo member while in The Netherlands.

In this online interview, Neil Felton from FESPA openly answers some of the questions we asked, so enjoy the video. FESPA Amsterdam opens its doors for the public in a little more than a week and will be the first major tradeshow in Europe in the hopefully soon post-pandemic time. Neil Felton talks about a massive interest from exhibitors - so we take that the real test will be how many attendees we will see. As Felton underscores, it is the quality of the visitors rather than the quantity - but listen to the interview, and hopefully, enjoy :-) LinkedIn Neil Felton

Can you get to know people in just 20 minutes and virtually? I interviewed Nathaniel Grant, who owns a printing company in Sterling, Virginia - and we genuinely had a good laugh. I got a pretty good understanding of his company. This film is part of our promotion of the upcoming EFI Connect event in Las Vegas from January 17th-21st. Take a listen to Nathaniel Grant and maybe you also decide to go to Vegas in January - and if you do - let's connect!

In this film, we visit Albelli in Den Haag in The Netherlands. We are together with Scott More and Sagen De Jonge from Tilia Labs who are sponsoring this episode. Albelli is one the major photoproduct printer in Europe and we are visiting them because they are using Tilia Labs Phoenix to impose. Albelli chose to work with Tilia Labs since they invested in a new HP Indigo 50000 - the first in Europe - and wanted to impose their photobooks into multi-lanes in order to use the current binding equipment. With the efficiency of Phoenix, they are now able to utilize the Indigo-Work-Horse to the fullest and not only does that require handling of huge PDF files (up to 20gb) but also to handle imposition in reverse order, since the reels have to be handled afterward in existing binding equipment. So two stories could be told - but there is more to it. Albelli is automating as much as they can and one of the requirements was to have an imposition software that could be handled via an API. Using an API enable Albelli IT to integrate all the imposition processes directly into their workflow which gives Albelli huge advantages in their workflow. A fantastic story in a fantastic printing company, and with ​amazing software done by crazy nice people. Thank you for the opportunity to shoot this film and thank you for your support!

The impact LED-UV has had on the printing industry the last years is simply amazing. AMS - now AMS Spectral UV - was one of the early adopters in this technology and not only have the technology developed rapidly when it comes to quality, pricing, and even the spectra where the UV-light operates, but the applications and equipment using UV has increased a lot. Having broader frequencies makes it possible to have fewer photo-initiators in the ink making it both cheaper to buy, but also better for the environment. UV has so many advantages, and though the ​ink is still more expensive, the advantages surpass this. AMS Spectral UV now takes LED-UV a step further by offering to retrofit LED-UV on web-offset presses. Exchanging the gas heater with LED-UV saves gas, electricity, but even increase the quality of the print beyond what's possible with the gas-dryer. In this film, President Steve Metcalf explains the opportunities!

In the city of North Providence at Rhode Island you'll find a printing company - or to be more precise, a not so easy to find printing company. Aptech Graphics has an extremely anonymous facade but we got there and though Aptech Graphics is a tiny printing company with a HUGE range of products they produce, we also found a company that recently invested in the amazing BOBST Mouvent-series inkjet label printer. The owner and President Mark Mader is an interesting gentleman with a huge interest in technology, and also very dedicated to producing printed products beyond the ordinary. In this film, we focus on the label business, but if you ever need anything from printed beer taps, to pins, to promotional items, or - almost anything you can think of - here is a supplier you should reach out to!

Morten Toksvaerd from Grafotronic serving label industry customers worldwide since 2004. Grafotronic is best known for ultra-modular finishing machines. Each module is completely independent, and a new module can be retrofitted in an existing machine, on-site, in less than 8 hours.

In this 'Learn with Us' session, editor Morten Reitoft from INKISH share his thoughts about the difference between sales and selling. Maybe you can learn?

In Morten Reitoft's second session today, he speaks about IoT or Internet of Things. What is it, how can it influence your printing company, and why is it important to understand. Hopefully some inspiration from us :-)

Owner of a diverse printing company on a small Island between the Jutland and Zealand in Denmark has its challenges—or opportunities. Morten Christensen is the second-generation owner of Samsøposten, which essentially started as the local newspaper; however, today is a diverse business of print, textile, merchandise, and content creation—and as 'old-school' as a phone book. The company heavily depends on the mechanical, electrical, and engineering skills that Morten Christensen has, as he operates a combination of new and old equipment. We visited the company as part of our "The New Offset Machine, that doesn't exist," he has two Koenig & Bauer 74Karat machines printing when jobs are too big for his HP Indigo machines. Super interesting to visit a company that, by many vendors, is off-radar, as the products Samsøposten needs are either too expensive or less aligned with the business he operates. Also a great discussion - not on film - about how brands don't offer service, parts, and consumables to machines acquired out of the, let's say, more traditional channels. Maybe a company that is more similar to most companies worldwide than most of us believe. LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/morten-christensen-a25191134/

In this 'Learn With Us' session editor Morten B. Reitoft from INKISH guides you through his thoughts about the "market" and how to address this.
