Latest Print21 magazine arriving on desks

The latest issue of the print industry’s leading trade magazine Print21 is arriving on the desks of the owners and managers of print businesses across Australia and New Zealand.

Print21 makes it our business to provide all the information print business owners need to ensure they are aware of all the trends and dynamics swirling around the industry, and this issue is no exception. We start by looking at the growing demand for green printing, and the latest developments in materials, digital presses and plates, which are enabling print businesses to present their environmental credentials to their customers.

Software today is key to the well-being of any print business, and in this issue we look at digital workflows, cross media integration, and at a case study with Hungry Jack’s and a piece of promotional print that optimised software developments, and printing techniques, to provide a remarkable piece of promotional print.

We run the Print21 analysis over departed Ovato CEO Kevin Slaven, and his time at the country’s biggest printer, which were three and half years of turbulence.

Online design operation Canva has made billionaires of its three young founders, and it is now keen to show that it offers printers opportunity. We take a look at what the platform has for print. Cyber security is a hot topic, so the feature by Cyber expert Ajay Unni is particularly timely.

The supplier focus this month sees Patrick Howard talk to Konica Minolta general manager Sue Threlfo for her take on the opportunities in print. Technology plays a key role in print, and we feature some of the latest developments in this issue. Technology developer Screen is the subject of a special report on its new solutions.

The printer profiles include a wide format printer Omnigraphics, which is investing strongly, and franchise printer Worldwide Parramatta, which saw the opportunity for a hybrid digital and print proposition.

With all our regular expert contributors, a look at who has been doing what in print since the last issue, and the return of the Print21 Diary, the latest issue will be well read by the print industry.
