What a year it was. We had more on the COVID front and more supply chain woes, then war broke out only to be followed by inflation arriving on the scene like a bat out of hell. While I did pay $3.07 a gallon here in New Jersey just the other day, it’s safe to say that everyone’s patience has been tested in the previous 12 months—not to mention their wallets.

 

Still, there was so much good that happened in 2022, and a lot of that good in our space is captured in the 36 interviews we produced as part of Season 4 of The Key Point Podcast. When I look at our five favorites, I very much see a microcosm of this year in the industry:

  • Sustainability talk increased, including in the United States
  • Production print continued to be a critical growth area
  • Security…I mean, do I even need to say anything else?
  • The fabric and textile space remains an intriguing play
  • Print’s place within digital transformation (DX)

 

Agree with that assessment or not, a ton can be gleaned from this handful of audio offerings. We thank you for tuning in to The Key Point Podcast for the past four years, and here’s to more insightful podcasts in 2023!

Podcast: Exploring Sustainable Practices in the Printing Industry

The dialogue around sustainable practices is gaining momentum in the commercial printing industry. I had the fortune to further investigate the topic for a recent episode of The Key Point Podcast, during which two leading UK commercial printers discussed their pioneering approaches to sustainability with me.Philip Dodd, Managing Director at Healeys Printers, shares the journey of his company, a £4 million commercial printing firm in Ipswich, England, known for its high production quality and commitment to environmental responsibility. Under Dodd’s leadership, Healeys has become the first small/medium enterprise printer in the UK to have its carbon reduction plan approved by the Science Based Target initiative, moving towards net zero with innovative practices. Anthony Rowell, Sales and Customer Success Director as well as Sustainability Lead at Tradeprint, discusses how sustainability intersects with operational efficiency at a £20 million commercial printer. Rowell covers initiatives ranging from reducing waste with effective color management to optimizing the supply chain for reduced carbon footprint.

Introducing Komori's Latest Breakthrough in Digital Printing

Building on a century of success in the offset print business, Komori’s J-throne 29—a new sheet-fed UV inkjet digital press—is expected to be another great contribution towards the transformative potential of digital printing. Ahead of its unveiling at drupa 2024, Keypoint Intelligence’s Production Group Director German Sacristan sat down with Lance Martin of Komori America to get an insider’s look at the state-of-the-art printer and what it signifies for the future of digital printing.

A Casual Conversation with AI Makes You Wonder

By now, most of you have at least dabbled with one of the leading generative-AI offerings such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Google’s Gemini (née Bard). The complete (and mostly correct) answers in paragraph form to prompts are a huge improvement over the fractured list of links returned by a query submitted to a search engine, which goes a long way to overcoming the “blank page” hurdle of having to craft a cogent bit of writing from scratch. But some recent banter with Gemini that stemmed from legitimate research around artificial intelligence’s abilities led to an entertaining discussion.
