The latest issue of Print21 magazine is out now, featuring an in-depth look at the science of colour, a tour of FESPA 2018 in Berlin, profiles of industry identities, and more.
This month's cover features the Currie Care Centre, Currie Group's way of ensuring its customers receive world-class service long after the techs have got their new machines up and running. Marcus Robinson, service manager for Australia and New Zealand at Currie Group, believes Currie Care works for printers. "From a helicopter point of view I believe we're the largest across the industry in end-to-end service. We have such a plethora of service offerings," he said.
From Berlin, Nessan Cleary reports on a FESPA show that turned its attention towards industrial markets. "Conventional wisdom has it that large-format printing is mainly about sign making and display graphics, but wide-format inkjet technology is pushing beyond this, which was abundantly clear at this year's main FESPA event in Berlin, Germany," he writes.
Colour management can be one of the fiddlier parts of any printer's process. Fortunately Andy McCourt is on hand with a three-page feature on accurately measuring and controlling your colour. "A properly-managed closed-loop colour workflow where the process is strictly followed to produce predictable and repeatable colour is readily achievable," he assures.
In a pair of printing industry profiles, Patrick Howard speaks to Andrew Macaulay, CEO PIAA, on the turnaround in Printing Industries over the last few years; and to Mitch Mulligan of Bottcher on the 20th anniversary of the supplier setting up shop in Australia.
All this plus a deep dive into benchtop UV printing, Australia's second KM-1 digital press, a slew of new equipment installs, and all the news that's fit about print make this issue of Print21 magazine a great way to while away those winter blues. Check it out here!
