Years ago, The Quad Graphics sales training process would start with working in: the bindery, pre-press, ink lab, photo, and actually working on press.
If you had actually worked in the plant, it made you confident and knowledgeable about selling the product. It was also a team sales process...
Depending on budgets -- I have seen some very good converters for corrugated and wide format printers. If you production is going to grow, stay away from the "low end" on the wide format printers. If you are going strictly UV, give the guys at Vanguard or Fluid Color a call on the wide format...
Heidelberg, Agfa, Kodak and offset press manufacturers are leaking money. They are not even relevant ant a show like Printing United. The days of Graph Expo and Print being major shows are over. Printing United in 2019 was packed and very productive for anyone in digital/industrial (no...
I went to the Corrugated Expo two weeks ago. Exhibitor turnout was a bit low, however good energy from the vendors and attendees. Pack Expo is still moving forward as well as the Label Congress Show -- both in about 3 weeks.

In other instances, as you...
Both are thermal heads and they are not as durable as piezo heads made companies like Xerox, Fuji Kyocera etc. The page wide was developed initially for desktop machines and they were really not for production. You could get a replacement as a spare part for around $250. The Pagewide for the...
The dots are outside the character are inkjet satellites from spray. It may be a high resolution head with very small drops, but the satellites are disappointing.
Noel -- 'good stuff. It really makes you think. I recall attending Drupa 2000 and Harry Quaddracci showed up in person to see the MAN Roland webs operating. He spent close to $80 million that day. MAN Roland was happy to exhibit that show. In contrast, Harry also used to purchase Heidelberg...
1. Decide on the the technology. Toner, UV or Aqueous. Aqueous systems are cheap, but the ink will not be water, sunlight or abrasion resistant. If you go Aqueous, you will have to laminate everything, which will increase cost and time. UV inks are much better for decals and they are the...
