Innovation isn’t magic: there are systems behind innovation. Innovation isn’t easy: it’s not just about technology, succes or failure depends on a lot of factors.
Last Saturday, I visited drupa. And on my list was, of course, getting samples from Landa. Plus, a bunch of other digital printing presses, including one of the other B1 digital printing presses: the Koenig […]
You may have noticed that I’m not a big fan of in-person press checks. It’s more about psychology and power games than getting that precious color right. And it’s a waste of resources, both in […]
Earlier this week, I posted on LinkedIn why, according to me, designers might not be familiar with color spaces and document profiles. It generated a lot of discussion… Going from “designers should not be bothered […]
It was a surprise when I read the recent message from the GWG: ‘Stop using a 20-year-old standard’! My first reaction was: what??? The GWG promotes standards! But then I noticed the ‘20’, and it […]
