It’s always a pleasure to see how our partners thrive with Fujifilm solutions. 😌 We’re excited to share that a Dutch print company Impressed print & sign upgrades to #JetPress 750S High Speed Model! This will significantly bolster the team’s capabilities, also increasing its productivity and performance, expand their market reach, and let them print more work digitally when facing the increased price of offset consumables. 💬 “We’d had no prior experience with #inkjet devices before our initial Jet Press investment in 2015. We explored a range of options back then, including both simplex and duplex machines, and overall, we found that there was nothing that matched the Jet Press. Despite being a simplex press, its variable data printing functionality makes it incredibly easy to use for both single and double-sided applications and we’ve found it very straightforward to transfer a wide range of jobs from offset. It’s brought huge benefits to the business over the past 8 years and enabled us to target new customers in new markets. In upgrading now to the Jet Press 750S High Speed Model, our #digitalprint capabilities are going up yet another level, and we’re going to be able to transfer even more work to digital that would have been printed offset in the past. This will be especially valuable for the high-end work currently being offset printed for Kapsenberg’s clientele,” - Bas Gravesteijn, General Manager, Impressed.

The latest Drupa Report, taken in the summer, showed growing optimism with confidence for the coming year. However, printers' outlook may have reversed since, due to growing interest rates and the Israel-Hamas war, as well as new governmental policies. Nevertheless, despite this dampening effect the positive trend initially noted in 2022 has continued. While rates across the world are pointing upwards, Asia shows the greatest gap between positive and negative feeling. The least comes in Europe, with Germany being home to the leat optimistic businesses, with a positive balance of +12. Optimism is also spread across the sectors, with both commercial printers and publishing printers showing most optimism. drupa – no. 1 for printing technologies #Drupa #PrintingIndustry #PRinters #UKPrinters #BusinessNews #Manufacturing #CommercialPrint #DisplayPrint #Publishing #TradePrint

Held during the PRINTING United Expo in Atlanta, the Packaging Impressions Forum featured label and package printing and converting research by NAPCO research analyst Cory Francer, in addition to thought leadership from David Bennett, president of Bennett Graphics; Scott Cotton, president of BP Solutions Group; and Terry Swade, corporate operations manager at Salem One. Presenting research that he and his team have done on packaging and label opportunities, Francer said, “What our research has shown is that label and packaging is not just a growth area, a stable area to make a move into, but it's one that commercial printers, wide-format printers, and promotional products printers as well have really looked to expand into actively.” Specifically, data from the “2022-23 State of the Industry Report” showed that printers working within the packaging and label segment anticipated significant growth over the next three years. By product type, the expected three-year growth was 15.8% for folding cartons; 12.2% for flexible packaging; 11.3% for labels, decals, and tags; and 10.6% for corrugated. In a panel discussion moderated by Packaging Impressions editor-in-chief, Cotton explained that when BP Solutions Group entered the folding carton market about 16 years ago, the company wanted to find something “that can’t go to the internet,” and that would set them apart from its competitors. “Our market has been famous over the last 30 years for copycat services between other printers in town, and at the time, for 30 grand, you could get into the wide-format business and anybody could lease that equipment and move into it,” he said. “We decided we wanted to do something a little different. So today we are the only folding carton manufacturer of our size in western North Carolina.” #print #manufacturing #packaging #marketing #proposal #production #instagood #clientpackaging #promotional #promo #promotionalpackaging #pr #prunboxing #asheville #ashevillenc #northcarolina #localbusiness #pringintbusiness #labelprinting #custom #customprinting #craftbeer #craftbeerlabels #printingcompany #printing #printingnearme

The leading topic in November Poligrafika is traditionally post-print finishing, to which refers also our cover story announcing the world premiere of Muller Martini's SigmaLine Compact and Antaro solutions. It's the real revolution in the industrial production of digital books, as we write about in an article with such the title. We also present the SIRIO - Meccanotecnica's first perfect binder for low-volume production, which had its premiere at Printing United 2023, as well as news on post-print processing straight from the All in Print trade fair held in Shanghai at the end of October. There you will also find information about the latest installations: machines from China (which are becoming increasingly popular in our market) at the Grafipack printing house, and the PUR PFi 6100 Duo perfect binder at the JKB Print printing house. In the current issue you can also read about growing optimism in the global print markets, as indicated by both the current drupa Global Trends report and FESPA's Print Census 2023 report. This optimistic mood is somewhat disrupted by a report from analyst company Smithers, which points out to declining number of print workers worldwide. With reference to these latest figures we particularly recommend the article „Four generations on the labour market - an opportunity or a challenge?”, in which representatives of Heidelberg Polska converse with our editor-in-chief Anna Naruszko about managing multi-generational teams of employees and ways of attracting the youngest generation to the industry. Also in this issue, among other things: coverage of the International Book Fair in Krakow and the Printing United trade fair in Atlanta; book printing prices from the perspective of digital printing house SOWA; the latest Summa S Class 3 cutting plotter; ECO3 SPIR@L and Solid Tune technologies for sustainable development; positive test results of low-migration inks from hubergroup on a Koenig & Bauer machine, i.e. new possibilities for food packaging manufacturers.
