We got a chance to talk to Scott Eganhouse VP Business Development and got a nice conversation about what TEC Mailing Solutions does and why they were dressed like clouds. As usual, please watch, like and share.

Hamta International Group is a family owned company in Iran that have specialized in various industries. One of them is the printing industry where CEO Reza Sezavar among his duties introduces companies from outside Iran into an industry that is ready to invest.

INKISH.TV have been for the past two years been invited to participate and cover the annual meeting held by the Federation of Printers from Norway. We have of course showed some film from the events and also participated in visits with members in the areas - but here is a postcard that we did from Stavanger - I like the music Jan Majnik have selected for this film - so I hope you also will enjoy this postcard. As cover page we have selected a photo with CEO Magnus Thorkildsen - and though he may look thoughtful - I can guarantee that he was in a good and cheerfull mood at the event - and I chose to use this photo also as our acknowledgement of a great corporation with Magnus - who here per January 1st is not longer CEO of the Federation. He will, however, continue to do some work for the Federation - but we will see him as an active partner in Grafkom - we look forward to that. All the best and thank you!

INKISH.TV, of course, was present at Sign & Print in Stockholm and it was really a great event.

Take a look at our postcard and stay tuned for interviews with key people from the exhibition.

With their successful Chili platform, the company has enabled customers to handle their brand-identity on the internet and allowed hundreds if not thousands of printers to offer even complex services online.

Almost 200 people from all over the world attended the conference that gave tremendous options to talk techniques, business, development and, networking.

Honestly, this visit was quite a surprise. Most companies in the world aim for growth and fortunately, there is not one single recipe for success. Buchs is from a medium size town in Denmark, Randers - and is a quite old company. It used to be a traditional printing company but the current partners have turned Buchs into a diverse business focusing on communication from A to Z. They have acquired Internet companies. They have acquired signage companies and what is also quite interesting is their business in Vietnam where 55 employees produce pre-press for magazines. Actually almost EVERY magazine from the larger publishers in Denmark. See, Like, Get Inspired by seeing this quite unusual company from Denmark.

In this INKISH episode, we take a look at the paper and print in the public space. Sometimes we simply forget to let us inspire from the print that surrounds us daily.

Centrum Grafisk Færdiggørelse is growing through M&A's and a clear strategy for products, services, and customers - and though in a small market and declining they seem to have a clear focus. We will get back with more information about the third company in the series in just a few weeks.

In a time where many printers are struggling to get more customers, one of the solutions is obviously to add a web-to-print service to your selection of sales platforms and in this episode we speak with the Indian company RadixWeb, who for almost a decade have been delivering the OnPrintShop web-to-print solution. This episode is not so much about the solution it self, but more about the company behind at least one of the more than 800 solutions globally. We will soon start to introduce more knowledge about web-to-print in general and also offer our viewers information about where to get balanced information. One of the leading web-to-print people in the world is Bernd Zipper from www.zipcon.de and though his site is in German he speaks and write perfect English.
