Big Picture - October 2016 - 15
SGIA EDUCATION
Between applying Band-Aids to our heels, sifting
through product brochures, and more than a few cups of
coffee, Big Picture sat in on some educational sessions.
INDUSTRIAL PRINTING SYMPOSIUM
When SGIA VP Dan Marx asked for a show of hands for
printers whose operations were completely analog, none
raised their hands. He then asked whose operations were
completely digital: None raised their hands here, either,
proving that each process still has clear merits in this
sector. Marx also stressed the importance of what happens
after the press: "The printing press only produces a print.
It's the finishing that really turns the print into a product."
James Gill of Fujifilm Dimatix gave us a glimpse of
the future, pointing out applications like food colorants,
customized pharmaceuticals, and wearable charging
technology. He says "the ink is the key part of moving
into any new market," and the trick is providing both
jettability - specifics for the inkjet community - and
applicability - specifics for the end user.
DURST RETAIL 2020 PART 4: RETAIL REALITIES
Martine Padilla, VP of sales, Allen Press, gave the 7:30
a.m. crowd a number of strategies for aligning sales team
members with the right print buyer: Every buyer has his
or her own characteristics, which in turn call for a
different sales relationship. She also stressed the
importance of the elevator speech when trying to gain a
new client: Doing your homework is absolutely essential,
and you better be ready to show how you stand out from
other callers.
UNUSUAL APPLICATIONS
FOR DIGITAL TEXTILE PRINTING
Speaker and chemical expert Vince Cahill reminded
attendees that the key to digital is that it's off contact:
Imaging on ceramics, silk, performance wear, and any
number of fragile materials will open new possibilities as
rapidly as PSPs are prepared to execute them.
2016 SUSTAINABILITY CONFERENCE
The Sustainable Green Printing Partnership held a
day-long "town hall" of sorts for print shops that are
currently certified and for those who are interested in
certification. Top takeaways from the day included:
* Employee engagement helps drive sustainability
within your company.
* Do your sales people know the ins and outs of your
shop's sustainability efforts? They should.
* Understand the difficulty of becoming certified, but
know that if your company is lean, that's half the battle.

QUOTED
I have five minutes. I need to know
what sets you apart from everybody
else who's calling me.
