FROM THE EDITOR

Automating hiring with AI

H

2008 The year BambooHR, one of the leading HR solutions provider, was founded.

appy Thanksgiving! I know some of you are entering the busiest time of the year, so sending you best wishes for a successful fall season. I’m also hoping that by the time you read this issue, operations have stabilized at Canada Post. Our national mail carrier needs to drastically change its business model to survive. In the ensuing pages, we offer several suggestions on how Canada Post can become a successful Crown corporation, serving the needs of Canadians coast to coast. I don’t want to dwell on those suggestions here. Instead, I want to expand on the Insider column you’ll read on Pg 8, where Bob Dale, VP of Connecting for Results, highlights some artificial intelligence-based applications that you can use. I want to focus on how AI can help human resources with recruitment.

AI in recruitment

As you may know, AI is being used by human resources teams to streamline tasks across the employee life cycle, from sourcing and screening candidates to scheduling interviews, analyzing engagement data, guiding performance evaluations, and informing decisions around promotions, compensation, and terminations. While these tools can offer speed and efficiency, it can also entrench and amplify bias.

In the early 2000s, companies began using applicant tracking systems (ATS) to sort and rank candidates. These systems typically scan for keywords matching the job description. If somebody’s resume didn’t have the keywords, then they would get ranked lower and potentially miss an interview call. ATS scanners have evolved in the last five years, thanks to AI. “Jobseekers need to catch up and figure out what hiring managers are really looking for and how to tailor their materials,” said Heather Black, owner of Freely Connect Recruitment agency.

For example, instead of using a generic job title like producer, she advises including multiple titles like production manager, project manager, etc., to match the titles in the job description, thereby increasing the application’s visibility.

In the recruitment process, companies are using AI tools to build job descriptions and schedule interviews.

Black likes using AI to prep for interviews. AI-enabled tools can highlight an 4

applicant’s strengths and weaknesses within minutes.

“It just helps me prepare more efficiently. I see areas that need to be explored a little bit further or gaps where deeper conversations are needed. It helps get me there faster. It saves a lot of time,” she added.

Biases can creep in

Despite the benefits, AI cannot be used without human oversight.

“AI can improve efficiency by automating administrative steps like scheduling or resume screening. But efficiency is not the same as equity. Without thoughtful design, AI tools can create impersonal, exclusionary, or discriminatory experiences, especially for candidates who do not reflect dominant norms in communication, education, or background. A human-first approach is essential to ensure the process is transparent, respectful, and fair,” stressed Dr. Sarah Saska, co-founder of Feminuity.

As we know, AI is trained on historical hiring data. So if the data is skewed, then the system just replicates it.

“If your company has a history of hiring mostly from the same schools, same background, same demographics, then AI is just going to keep recommending more of the same. That’s where a person has to step in. People can’t assume the technology is neutral just because it’s automated,” explained Black who encouraged printing companies to test AI-based technologies, as they can improve productivity.

Dr. Saska advised companies interested in AI-based tools to first start with critical questions: Who built this tool?

What data was used to train it? Has it been tested for bias? How is it monitored over time? Does it align with company values?

“Tools must be transparent, explainable, and accountable. They should reflect diverse perspectives and include safeguards for consent, privacy, and recourse,” she explained.

The key is also finding a middle ground where AI tools can help without cutting corners or making the experience bitter for everybody.

Canada Post recorded a loss before tax of $407 million in the second quarter of 2025 as Parcels results declined sharply due to labour uncertainty. The second-quarter loss of $407 million marked the Corporation’s largest loss before tax in a single quarter, with profitability deteriorating by $453 million compared to a profit before tax of $46 million in the same period a year earlier. Over 50 per cent of year-to-date losses occurred in June, when labour uncertainty was at its peak.

While Transaction Mail improved in the second quarter largely due to one-time federal election mailings, Parcels results declined sharply as the strike activity and labour uncertainty drove customers to other carriers. Parcels revenue fell by nearly half a billion dollars in the first half of 2025.

ION Print & Promo, an Ontario-based printer with offices in Midland, Vaughan, and Barrie, acquires Barrie-based Gibson Digital. Gibson will also be relocating to a new facility later this year.

Intergraphics specializes in industrial screen and digital printing.

Postpress equipment manufacturer Highcon has been sold for just NIS2.5 million ($1.02 million) to a group of investors led by Israeli businessmen Roy Ben Yami, a former board member of Highcon, and Ami Lustig, the owners of the LR Group, through a company they will set up in the U.S. This is a stunning reversal of fortunes for a company that held its IPO on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange for more than NIS500 million ($204.53 million) five years ago.

Paperboard and converting specialist Hammond Paper Company, Vaughan, Ont., acquires Paulymark of Rougemont, Que. Founded in 1973 as a family-owned business by Jean-Guy Marcil and Raoul Paulin, Paulymark specializes in converting recycled paperboards and offering specialty packaging solutions for the binding, rigid box, and sampling sectors.

Marcil and his sister-cum-business partner Annie Marcil would continue to be involved in the business during the transition phase.

Canadian Printing Resources, Maracle Press close amid Trico bankruptcy fallout. When Trico Packaging and Print Solutions went bankrupt earlier this year, it created a domino effect.

Scale AI is investing $1 million and the project partners are footing the rest of the bill.

Beatty Printing, North Bay, Ont., acquires Moyer Printing, also in North Bay. Founded in 1982, Moyer Printing’s owners Al and Louise Moyer decided to sell the company as they wanted to retire. According to media reports, Louise Moyer will continue working at Beatty during a transition period.

Beatty, founded in 1958, has been part of Aylmer Express Graphics Group since 2021.

MAXIMIZING PROFIT MARGINS WITH DIGITAL EMBELLISHMENT IN 2025 THE ACCELERATING SHIFT TOWARD PREMIUM PRINT In today’s competitive print landscape, standing still means falling behind.

Despite economic uncertainty, the smartest printers aren’t retreating—they’re doubling down on specialty print to stay ahead. With demand for premium, personalized print products rising fast, digital embellishment is no longer a luxury: it’s moving from novelty to necessity. Konica Minolta’s advanced technology and deep industry expertise make it easier than ever to elevate your offerings, command higher margins, and unlock new revenue streams.

The opportunity is here, and industry players are already moving. As consumer demands change, recent NAPCO research shows the global embellishment market growing roughly 6–8% annually, with specialty print projected to reach about $45 billion by 2028. Demand is driven by one simple fact: tactile, embellished work commands attention—and clients are willing to pay for it. Our own research at Konica Minolta finds specialty print projects commonly deliver 20–30% higher profit margins than standard jobs, making digital embellishment one of the fastest ways for print shops to elevate revenue without endlessly chasing lower-cost volume work.

Demonstrations drive decisions.

When buyers compare plain versus embellished samples, most choose the premium version.

Sample kits and live demos trigger a psychological response—once clients see and feel the difference, perceived value skyrockets. Digital embellishment (raised UV, foil, spot UV, textured finishes) creates those “wow” moments at scale. It’s faster, more customizable, and cost-effective, making short runs and personalization profitable. Showing and sampling isn’t optional—it’s your best sales tool.

The market is already demanding and dictating new print applications. Brands, and their creative designers, constantly need to find ways to set themselves apart from competitors.

Digital embellishment enables faster, easier customization and personalization—and it’s more scalable and cost-effective than traditional methods.

PRINT PANTHER DIRECT: FROM SPECIALTY INKS TO AWARD-WINNING EMBELLISHMENTS

HOW KONICA MINOLTA ENABLES YOUR SUCCESS — WHITE GLOVE SERVICE & SUPPORT Investing in embellishment technology is one thing; realizing consistent margin gains requires strong implementation, workflow integration, and ongoing optimization. Konica Minolta’s White Glove Service, included with every embellishment press purchase, delivers end-to-end support so customers capture maximum value from their equipment: • Seamless implementation—site surveys, shipping, worry-free installation, rigging and tailored operator training aligned to your specific workflows.

• Lifecycle support—from start-up and production ramp-up to performance optimization, including workflow training, color management, and production tuning.

• Change support—upgrade assistance, relocations and workflow re-mapping to scale with your business.

• Unparalleled service—secure remote support plus nationwide network of on-site technicians when needed.

ACT NOW – ELEVATE YOUR MARGINS Our training packages equip sales, marketing, estimating, pricing, design, production workflow, quality control and post-production teams with everything needed to make digital embellishment a real profit centre. You’ll learn capabilities, customer benefits, supporting data, and practical applications, plus marketing and sales tactics, KPI tracking, estimating and pricing methods, and design best practices. By program end, you’ll have a clear, actionable strategy to upsell, secure repeat business and boost margins.

Contact your Konica Minolta representative to schedule a live demo or discuss our embellishment program to learn more—let’s turn embellishment into your next profit maximizer.

Print Panther Direct is a clear example of how strategic investment in embellishment technologies creates new revenue streams. After installing a Konica Minolta MGI JETvarnish 3DS in 2016, Print Panther Direct recently upgraded to the MGI JETvarnish 3D Evolution increasing a more robust platform with a larger 29” × 47” sheet size and support for up to 800 GSM stock. That upgrade unlocked high-quality, short-run embellished work and opened creative possibilities for clients producing marketing material, packaging and specialty print. Empowering it to competitively deliver short-run, high quality, embellished print, this upgrade will position the company as a top print shop for digital embellishment in Canada.

“The press is one of the world’s most productive B2 digital embellishment solutions, complementing our existing line-up of digital presses and supporting our mission to provide customers with beautiful print and packaging.” said Christine Yardley, President, Print Panther Direct. The results speak for themselves: multiple FSEA Gold Leaf awards, a Best of Show–Best Use of Digital Embellishment award by the Foil & Specialty Effects Association (FSEA) as part of its 31st Annual Gold Leaf Awards, and a growing pipeline of projects that command premium pricing. Print Panther Direct’s experience shows that the right equipment plus an effective demo-and-sample strategy turns embellishment from a niche add-on into a reliable profit center.

The transformation of direct mail into direct marketing The strategic reinvention of print

By Alec Couckuyt

or years, we called it direct mail. Today, we call it direct marketing.

That change in terminology is more than semantics; it reflects a fundamental shift in how print has evolved from a one-dimensional communication tool into a strategic, data-driven, multi-channel marketing engine.

Over the last three decades, what began as a simple way to put a customer’s name on a piece of mail has become a sophisticated, technology-driven industry that continues to reinvent itself to stay relevant.

Direct marketing printing has become a complementary component in a multimedia toolkit designed to deliver cohesive campaigns across platforms.

vidual profiles. Suddenly, print could speak directly to the recipient, and the impact was undeniable.

I had the opportunity to experience this transformation firsthand.

When I took Yorkville from being a high-end commercial printer into becoming a leader in direct marketing printing, it wasn’t simply a matter of buying new equipment. It was about recognizing where the market was heading.

Businesses wanted more than ink on paper; they wanted measurable results. By shifting Yorkville’s focus toward direct marketing and harnessing personalization technology, we positioned ourselves ahead of the curve. It was a bold move, but it paid off by giving clients what they truly valued: higher response rates and return on investment.

This shift is exactly why the old term, ‘direct mail,’ began to feel inadequate. What we were providing wasn’t just mail; it was strategy.

However, technology never stands still. As quickly as print per-

sonalization reshaped direct marketing, the internet emerged as another disruptive force. Suddenly, marketers could reach audiences through digital channels with unmatched targeting precision and immediacy.

The rules of engagement changed again. Messaging strategies shifted toward narrower targeting, higher frequency, and interactivity. Direct marketing print was no longer the sole driver of campaigns; it became one piece of a larger, integrated multi-channel puzzle.

The challenges didn’t stop there.

Rising postal costs and increasing delivery inefficiencies added pressure on print-based direct marketing.

Marketers were forced to rethink the role of print within their strategies.

Was it still cost-effective? Was it still impactful? The answer, as it turned out, was yes, but only when used strategically as part of a multi-channel communication plan.

A strategic shift

Direct mail evolved into a spectrum PRINTACTION.COM

PHOTO: THINGLASS / ISTOCK EDITORIAL / GETTY IMAGES

Personalizing mails

In the 1990s, the big breakthrough came with technology. First, Scitex print heads were introduced, systems that could be mounted on web presses or finishing equipment. For the first time, it was possible to inject variable data directly into high-volume print. Shortly after, digital presses entered the market, fundamentally altering the landscape.

Together, these innovations unlocked what we came to call mass personalization, the ability to deliver highly targeted messaging at scale.

At first, personalization meant no more than adding a name and address to a printed piece. But it quickly advanced. We began incorporating unique offers, tailored messages, and even images designed to match indi-

of tools. On one end, unaddressed neighbourhood mail was used to drive awareness and foot traffic for local businesses or retail stores. On the other, highly embellished, fully personalized pieces were crafted to target well-defined markets with precision. Print alone was no longer enough; it had to integrate with digital touchpoints, data analytics, and customer engagement cycles.

This is where strategic positioning and convergence became critical.

Just as we’ve seen in other areas of the printing industry, survival in direct marketing print hinged on adaptation. Stand-alone direct mail printers have largely disappeared.

Today, most successful players operate as divisions within larger print and communications companies.

These companies offer a broader portfolio: data services, digital campaigns, packaging, signage, and more because clients expect solutions, and not just products. Direct marketing printing has become a complementary component in a multimedia toolkit designed to deliver cohesive

1990s The period when Scitex print heads were first introduced.

campaigns across platforms.

The companies that thrived were the ones that embraced this reality.

They invested in new technology, retrained teams, and repositioned themselves not as printers, but as partners in communication. They understood that standing still is the fastest path to obsolescence.

I’ve often said that strategy is about seeing the bigger picture, not just reacting to the moment. Direct marketing print is a case study in this truth. Printers who believed their future rested solely on putting ink on paper found themselves overtaken by competitors who recognized the shift toward integrated marketing. Those who anticipated change, embraced convergence, and aligned themselves with evolving client needs not only survived, but also prospered.

Today, the conversation around direct mail isn’t about whether it has a place in the modern world. It surely does. The question is how it fits strategically within a broader marketing cycle. In many cases, a welltimed, tangible piece of personalized

print can break through the noise of digital clutter and create lasting impact. The key lies in understanding when, where, and how to use it as part of a coordinated strategy. And that brings us full circle: what once was direct mail is now direct marketing. The name itself reflects the industry’s evolution from creating delivery mechanisms to strategic engagement tools.

The lesson for all of us is clear: direct marketing print is not a relic of the past; it is a tool that continues to adapt and thrive. But its success has never been about the technology alone. It always depended on the ability of leaders and companies to anticipate change, make bold choices, and position themselves where the market is heading. Standing still is never an option.

Canada Post at a crossroad The Crown corp. faces ones of its biggest challenges

By Nick Howard anada Post’s struggles may have reached their zenith. At the time of writing, labour troubles weren’t settled. Employing more than 55,000 workers, it is one of the nation’s largest Crown corporations. For centuries it was tasked with delivering mail to every address in Canada while also connecting to the world’s postal enterprises.

Oh, how the continued advances of the internet have ridden roughshod over physical mail! With a loss of $841 million in 2024 and projections for it to balloon to $1.7 billion in 2029, this negative trend appears unstoppable. But there is more to the story than dwindling mail deliveries.

Canada Post management lays much of the blame on the Canadian Union of Postal Workers for refusing to agree to part-time workers and weekend package deliveries. Private couriers deliver on weekends and don’t have to contend with high legacy costs such as pensions and health-care expenses.

Mandatory changes

The times we live in today demand vicious changes if we are to have a public postal service. Seven-day package delivery must be implemented. A reduction in delivery points must also be made, which the federal govt. has now made possible. Postal employees with restrictive layoff provisions must be flexible to allow for a more effective division of labour. Part-time employment should be allowed. Technologies like AI must be implemented as well as investments in smart sorting equipment to reduce touchpoints throughout the delivery process. Ultimately, fewer employees may be the result.

With a staff of well over 55,000, Canada Post desperately needs to make some unpleasant changes soon.

The country still depends on a national postal service.

printing industry. Without cheap third-class bulk mail being hand delivered, how would a large segment of printers get their products into mailboxes? Private corporations will charge higher prices.

Businesses relying on their message being printed will follow others who have already abandoned print, not because of the cost of production, but the high cost of delivery.

With revenues in 2024 of $11.69 billion, Canada Post generates substantial revenue and employs a large workforce. But as any small business owner knows, the government, Crown or not, is a lethargic manager often portrayed as living in a vacuum, and unable to manage a profitable enterprise. Both management and workforce have failed to appreciate the enormity of a devastating tsunami that is the internet. Instead of facing potential headwinds, the management paid no heed to necessary transitions and plodded on to where they find themselves today: a sloth in a cage full of cheetahs.

These problems didn’t just happen in a single collective contract but over several past agreements.

Beyond these factors, Afinia’s short-run customers tend to highly value workflow efficiency, says McHale. They are leaning towards simple processes that don’t require a full-time press operator.

Fast order completion is often the top priority for Epson America’s short-run customers, says Mike Pruitt, product manager for professional imaging, but at the same time, he notes that all the aforementioned factors “are interconnected, and work together to drive a business’s performance and profitability.”

He adds that digital presses have become much faster in recent years, making it economical for printing companies to produce many small batches in one run.

Pruitt also supports the use of digital alone for short runs. Most of the time, it’s easier and more efficient to simplify the print process, he says, which is what digital label presses are designed to do.

“Digital label presses can accomplish a great deal on their own,” he says. “With high-quality media and a reliable digital press with white ink, a short-run label provider should be able to create high-quality, professional labels without investing in costly additional flexo solutions.”

It’s now also feasible to add inline coating and finishing to the digital print engine. However, McHale says that many customers prefer keeping finishing offline to keep the press itself simpler and easier to maintain.

Is offline finishing the future?

In fact, McHale believes that standalone digital presses paired with offline finishing will remain the norm for short runs going forward.

As he said, there’s a simplicity to the use and maintenance of the press in this setup, and adding more automation is only going to make the case stronger for this printing approach.

Barcode-driven job setup, digital die-cutting and laser finishing are among the automation options now available, making offline finishing workflows for short-run work quite practical.

Pruitt also believes that for years to come, the popularity of using digital presses and keeping finishing offline will remain high in tackling smaller label runs. He also highlights simpli-

city as a big factor.

“It’s essential to remember that when it comes to productivity, a solution’s ease of use and maintenance needs to play a critical role,” Pruitt explains. “In hybrid or complex inline solutions, there’s more equipment to understand and accurately maintain to ensure its longevity.

not performed correctly, can be a huge cost to print shop owners, both financially and professionally.”

At the same time, however, he acknowledges that the automated maintenance available in many systems today removes human error during various tasks, in addition to obviously saving time.

For McLean, speed is a factor in many printing companies keeping finishing offline, with one finisher being able to support the output for two or more digital presses.

In this case, converters can keep the digital press running continuously without waiting for setup or changeovers on finishing units.

“Offline finishing allows multiple jobs to be queued and processed independently, which is ideal for handling diverse SKUs or frequent design changes,” he says. “In addition, for smaller operations or those expanding gradually, standalone setups offer lower upfront investment and modular growth.”

However, looking to the future, Medlar believes it won’t be long before hybrid digital machines outpace roll-to-roll digital machines with offline finishing.

“As the integration of digital engines into flexo assets become more and more seamless and easy to use, more converters will choose hybrid due to the productivity gains, material waste savings and labour savings,” he says. “The economic gains by finishing the label in one pass are too high to ignore for the hybrid trend not to continue.”

Labour disputes complicate an already difficult postal service

ail remains a cornerstone of the graphic communications industry, but this year has been turbulent. A long and acrimonious contract negotiations (ongoing at the time of writing) between the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) and Canada Post have led to lost profits, client attrition, layoffs, and, most damaging, declining trust in mail and its delivery.

Prolonged bargaining has raised doubts about the reliability and future of mail delivery in Canada. I spoke with Dr. Ian Lee, associate professor

at Carleton University, and Patrick Bartlett, executive director of the National Association of Major Mail Users (NAMMU) who shared some insights into the challenges facing Canada Post, and what the options might be going forward.

Canada Post’s challenges

Although Canada Post has a robust delivery network enabling it to deliver to all Canadians coast to coast, letter volume has fallen 63 per cent since 2006. Dr. Lee estimates this is an annual decline of 2 to 8 per cent, largely driven by the adoption of digital communication.

habits that pose a risk to Canada Post.

Antiquated government mandates, as outlined in the Canadian Postal Service Charter and the Canada Post Corporation Act (1985), hindered cost saving and revenue generating solutions until now. Thankfully, in Sept.

2025, the federal government announced a series of measures to stabilize Canada Post and enable its modernization.

Prior to that, the following factors contributed to Canada Post’s existential crisis: • vast physical infrastructure and a moratorium on closing rural post offices, which has now been lifted; • large workforce relative to mail volume; • expensive daily door-to-door delivery, which the govt. has now made optional ; and • parcel competition.

The May 2025 report of the Industrial Inquiry Commission (IIC), which was established to review the issues in Canada Post’s collective bargaining dispute with CUPW, as well as the company’s broader business challenges, painted a grim picture. It described Canada Post to be “effectively insolvent or bankrupt.”

would give Canada Post the flexibility to manage pricing, boost efficiency, cut costs, and innovate, free from bureaucracy and politicization. This is not a novel concept as Royal Mail (U.K.), Deutsche Post (Germany), and Japan Post have been privatized, although results have varied.

Some private postal companies have been accused of declining services and price increases. However, there is a much bigger issue at play here in Canada—geography. Unlike other privatized postal networks serving densely populated urban areas, Canada is vast with low population Printers & mail While headlines focus on the decline density, making it logistically harder 63% of lettermail, little attention is given to and more expensive to deliver to every the growing importance of direct mail. household.

aren’t writing letters, [then] privatize it to what end? It doesn’t matter who owns it; there is no business left.”

“All the issues currently facing Canada Post... What private company would want to get in on that?” remarks Patrick.

None of this diminishes the essential goal of Canada Post, which is to deliver to every Canadian. Even if mailers opt to use local, provincial or national couriers, the cost and potential unreliability of delivery services to rural areas make them a less attractive option and won’t work for mass marketing campaigns.

To improve economic sustainability and efficiency, Dr. Lee and Bartlett foresee a smaller post office; one that is flexible and implements many of the ICC’s recommendations, such as: • switch to community mailboxes – to reduce costly door-todoor delivery; • amend the Postal Charter to better reflect current mail volumes and eliminate outdated daily delivery requirements; and • lift the moratorium on rural post office closures and allow closures in areas with nearby alternatives or low traffic.

The federal govt.’s Sept. 2025 announcement gives Canada Post the flexibility to stop door deliveries, close rural post offices, and move non-urgent mail by ground instead of air.

The last step can save the Crown corp. more than $20 million per year. Canadians need a dependable, affordable, and universal postal service. Printers, mail providers, and their clients can adapt to new volumes, rising costs, and even digital competition—but not to an unreliable system.

INKJET

The technology has helped democratize the printing equipment market

By Ralf Schlözer

20 PRINTACTION · September/October 2025

O

ur lives are changing and so are the prints we order and produce.

Inkjet is unique not only in the breadth of print applications addressed, but also in the range of devices, from inexpensive entry-level solutions to high-end, lights-out production lines. This can take away the risk of moving into new print applications and allows exploring new business opportunities.

There are now more than eight billion people on this planet. We can travel and exchange data and information around the globe. Our communication habits have changed, so it

is not surprising that print is changing as well. While some traditional print applications are fading away, others are remarkably resilient and new application areas keep popping up.

Printers are adapting to this trend, as brands look for new ways to promote, publishers for distributing content and consumers to embellish their living. Demand can come from all kinds of customers, especially for small runs and quick turnaround times. Nowadays, a web presence makes it easy to showcase and promote new products, with recommendation algorithms aiming at upselling or presenting additional products.

INKJET, THE GREAT ENABLER

One challenge remains: these new applications need to be produced.

Sometimes a partnership with another print service supplier is the best option. In other cases, keeping production in-house makes more sense to be quick, flexible, and retain more of the value-adding processes. Equipment that can be used for a variety of applications or that offers a low investment point can be helpful to take advantage of new opportunities.

Diverse options

As a print technology analyst, I am still surprised to find inkjet at the heart of so many possibilities. Inkjet helped to democratize the printing equipment market because a supplier can choose and combine inkjet heads, inks, drying, and substrate support from a wide array of providers. More than 20 inkjet head manufacturers and a much larger number of inkjet ink manufacturers are active in the industry. Substrate transport can be sourced from many companies, and even old printing or finishing equipment can be repurposed. Further, there are inherent technological advantages in inkjet: it is a true non-impact process and can, at least theoretically, print on a wide range of substrates and shapes.

Accordingly, solutions differ a lot and diverse markets are being addressed. Label printing has seen a great boom in recent years. Corrugated has gained traction too, with about a dozen single pass presses on offer currently. Folding carton and flexible packaging printing solutions have been slower to emerge, but several inkjet press models have recently entered or are about to launch in these markets. Printing on metal, either beverage cans or sheet metal, is growing as well. In all segments, fullblown production inkjet devices start to rival the productivity of conventional presses, although at price points that rival high-end presses.

There are lower-priced alternatives that allow printing on labels, cans, or pouches. These would be low five-figure investments. Scanning head large-format printers can be a cost-efficient alternative for flat packaging materials, also starting at similar low investment amounts. Although productivity is low and limitations in materials and quality exist, it is worth inquiring about the PRINTACTION.COM

market opportunities that could be addressed. An alternative for exploring new opportunities is inkjet presses that make it possible to branch out into additional applications like the B2 inkjet presses from Fujifilm, Konica Minolta, or Komori.

Sometimes the strength of inkjet lies in processes after the main packaging or commercial print has been performed. Unique effects can be created by layering clear inkjet ink to create raised, tactile surfaces. Duplo, MGI, Scodix, and Steinemann offer solutions for embellishing sheets.

Koenig & Bauer Kammann expanded this to texture printing on spherical containers.

New opportunities

Beyond commercial and packaging print, there are several markets to explore. Decorative prints on flooring, panels, ceramics, glass, and many other surfaces are being addressed by inkjet. Full wallpaper factories that can turn custom designs into completely prepared rolls of wallpaper exist. Home decoration experienced a boom during the pandemic and with expanding technical possibilities more surfaces can and will be decorated. Also, inkjet is enjoying a rapid uptake in textiles and garment printing. From soft signage to interior textiles and fabrics for fashion or printing on complete pieces of garment, opportunities are manifold, and solutions exist for all application areas.

Not all substrates are flat, but inkjet solutions exist for printing on 3D objects. Roland DG and Mutoh have launched new presses to print on smaller objects and merchandise.

The Monster Jet from Azonprinter can even print on objects up to 1 m

high. For bigger surfaces, direct-toshape printing with robot arms has been proposed already. Several projects exist, but most of them are in an early phase of commercialization.

The possibilities with inkjet do not stop at the surface. 3D printing opens the door for additive manufacturing. Inkjet in 3D print can take advantage of the innovations developed for other markets and benefits from the scale of use in heads, inks, and control electronics. Even if a 3D-printed product is significantly different from a printed piece of paper, printing companies can have a competitive edge by weighing in their knowledge in data handling, colour management, customer contacts and logistics.

Finally, if you can’t find the right solution for a specific print requirement, inkjet integrators can help to tailor a solution. Companies like Bergstein, Cadis, Colordyne, or Neos offer the consulting and engineering services required to assemble a custom printer. Alternatively, users can set up their own solution by investing in a print bar, drives and electronics from suppliers like Domino, Fujifilm, HP, Kodak and others.

Of course, building your own integrated printer is more complicated than just buying a print bar.

The beauty of inkjet is the simplicity of the process, resulting in devices with few moving parts. In some cases, operating a device is a push-button operation, making setup and operation easy—an advantage not to be underestimated in times of labour shortages. Obviously, highend printers can get complex and demanding. However, with inkjet, there is always the opportunity to start small and try out markets with manageable risk and investment and to grow when demand develops.

Finally, technology is not a means by itself. A business plan needs to come before any investment. Print is used in a lot more places than on plain sheets of paper. Creativity founded the printing industry, so get inspired by print applications produced at trade shows, open houses, seminars, or user group events.

SPOTLIGHT

Chelsea Gieschen / vice president / Royal Printers

C

helsea Gieschen is the vice president of Royal Printers, a family-owned company with 93 years of history in New Westminster, B.C. As part of the fourth generation of leadership, Chelsea works alongside her brother, Bryce Gieschen, to carry forward their family’s legacy. Over the past 11 years, she’s gained hands-on experience in nearly every aspect of the business, with her primary focus now on operations and production.

What is the state of the print industry today, in your opinion?

CG: The print industry has always had periods of evolution, but the pace of change today is faster than ever. The rise of short-run digital, inkjet, and personalized printing has been well underway for years, and the surge in packaging, labels, and wide format is impossible to miss. Yet, the most transformative shift in the years ahead will come from advancements in technology, particularly AI and automation.

What attracted you to the print industry?

CG: Royal Printers was founded by my great grandfather, so print has always been part of my life. Some of my earliest memories are of me riding around the shop on a pallet jack. My background is in biology with a focus on conservation. I thought my future would be in research but eventually realized that wasn’t the path for me. At Royal, we began integrating agricultural fibre paper into our business—and something clicked. The work felt like a natural fit; a place where creativity, sustainability, and business could come together in a tangible way.

Like so many others in the industry, I was hooked once I fully stepped in. The pace of learning, the collaborations, and the constant challenge to do things better than the day before keeps me motivated.

How can the industry attract more young people?

CG: Printing is not a dated or fading industry—it’s creative, fast-paced, and deeply connected to technology. For many youngsters, purpose is a deciding factor in where they choose to work, and our industry offers that in abundance: from driving sustainability initiatives and bringing bold design concepts to life to collaborating with local organizations that matter to you.

truly something here for everyone. We must do a better job of reaching younger audiences where they are already engaged, whether through schools, social media, or community programs, so they can see the print industry as a vibrant and rewarding career path.

In such a competitive landscape, how can printers win more sales?

CG: Winning business today is not just about being the lowest bidder. The key is positioning yourself as a partner your The pace of customers can’t imagine doing business learning, the without. That means taking the time to collaborations, understand their goals, anticipating challenges before they arise, and buildand the ing solutions that are tailored specificconstant ally to them. When customers know challenge they can count on you, you move from to do things being a supplier to an essential part of their business better than

CG: The print industry today offers

more possibilities than we’ve seen in years, but capitalizing on them means challenging the status quo, embracing innovation, and taking calculated risks.

The leaders will be those who don’t just follow trends but get creative in their pursuit for growth. Some areas that

seem to have promise are sustainable print, smart/interactive packaging, and high-quality books to name a few. These offerings can command higher margins and foster stronger customer engagement. Success will come to those who are strategic and develop a diverse portfolio of products and services that not only meet evolving market demands, but also set them apart in an increasingly competitive landscape.

What do you think is the most exciting thing about print today?

CG: The pace of change. Twenty years ago, print looked very different from the way it does today. It’s faster, smarter, more creative, and closely linked with the digital world than ever before. Despite what some might believe, the reality is that more money is being spent on print now than in the recent past. Personally, I find it exciting to be at a point in my career where I have decades to explore this industry. There are so many possible directions to take, and every day brings a chance to decide which path to explore next.
