Issue 3
In this issue, we explore the latest developments shaping specialist print production, from EFI’s hybrid LED technology and Ricoh’s advances in coding and marking, to Inkcups’ high-throw cylindrical printing and Summa’s latest approach to automated cutting and finishing.
Inks, materials and process innovation remain firmly in focus. Sun Chemical examines new technology for glass decoration, VFP Ink Technologies introduces developments for circular printed electronics, while Archipelago considers how coatings for fibre-based products can support more sustainable production. Troika Systems also looks at the role of AI in anilox management, alongside developments in screen printing, colour management and industrial print quality.
Workflow flexibility and production efficiency feature throughout the issue, with case studies covering DTO printing and LED curing, while SPGPrints, IST METZ, AVA CAD/CAM and others examine how technology, software and adaptable production systems are helping printers and converters prepare for changing market demands.
Alongside these technical insights, we look at developments across DTF, apparel decoration, scanning, laser processing and industrial printing, as well as previews and reports from key international events including All in Print China, IPI, Automotive Design and In-cabin Expo North America and the Printed Packaging Summit.
