Send us Fan Mail Single-pass inkjet can sound like a technical detail until you hear what it unlocks: speed, repeatability, and a realistic route to industrial automation. We sit down with Thomas Amrein, CEO of Matti Technology, to talk about how a 20-person, engineer-heavy team in Switzerland designs and manufactures custom-built printing machines that are anything but off-the-shelf. Along the way, we get an honest look at what customers actually ask for, how ambitious ideas stretch engineer...

Send us Fan Mail Personalised products used to mean slow setups, expensive screens, and a hard choice between speed and flexibility. Now we’re watching digital UV LED printing turn product decoration into something far more agile, especially for brands that want short runs, rapid turnaround, and designs that change from one item to the next. I’m joined by Vaughn Pollman, President of Innovative Digital Systems (IDS), to unpack what’s driving that shift and where the technology is heading next...

Send us Fan Mail A printer that behaves like a production cell, not a flatbed. Frazer Chesterman sits down with Clayton Sampson, CEO of Cyan Tec, to unpack Robojet: a standard six axis robotic inkjet printer built for direct to shape printing on real industrial parts, not just flat materials. We talk through what Robojet is doing at Printing United for its first US showing, and why printing onto curved, awkward and high mix products is the point. You’ll hear practical examples from the demo ...

Send us Fan Mail Seiko is known for precision, but the surprise is where that precision ends up: inside industrial inkjet printheads that can survive dust, heat and heavy-particle inks. We sit down with returning guest Ali Eranpurwala to map Seiko’s 25-year journey into printing, starting with a story from Olympic timekeeping where handwritten results created avoidable errors and a simple question changed the trajectory: why not print the data directly? From the early days of the 510BN print...

Send us Fan Mail What happens when an innovator refuses to accept that digital printing with HP Indigo technology on metal packaging is impossible? In this episode of the FuturePrint Podcast, Marcus Timson speaks with Augusto França of Vislo and Amir Raziel of HP about the development of InnoCan: an indirect digital-printing process designed to bring the quality, flexibility and responsiveness of HP Indigo technology to three-piece metal packaging. Augusto traces his journey from growing up a...
