Welcome to Printing Industry News Digest (PIND) issue 97, providing a
summary of major news items from the printing, publishing, packaging,
digital, and communications technology sectors. PIND incorporates brief
summaries and links to the week's key news stories so that you can look
up that all important detail, digging deeper behind the headline.
The team at PrintWeek has this week announced its own PrintWeek@Drupa
app to help guide you around Europe’s biggest and best in print when
you visit Dusseldorf in the very near future. The app is available in
iPhone, Android, and Blackberry flavours. A stand guide, schedule of
events, show maps, and integration with key Twitter feeds are all
included.
If you are not able to get there yourself, do keep up to date with news and events both before and during the show at the Drupa show web site.
The leading digital label press supplier, Xeikon, has announced that its Drupa line up will include a dedicated carton printing line, as well as its recently acquired flexographic CtP product.
Japanese press manufacturer Mitsubishi has announced details of its show exhibit, which will centre around a five-colour Diamond V3000LS sheet-fed press. The product will incorporate the latest ecoUV drying system and the Diamond Eye-S inline quality control system.
Meanwhile, KBA is due to install what it claims is the world’s longest B1
sheet-fed press. The machine is due to arrive at a Swiss tobacco
packaging facility, and will consist of some 19 units. These include 10
printing and three coating units.
In the world of newspapers, it’s all change at Johnston Press. This will basically include a lot more emphasis on web based news, and less on paper, with a number of local daily publications switching to a weekly printed copy.
The technology of Twitter, however, has helped the Tuscaloosa News
to win a Pulitzer Prize for breaking news reporting. The coverage
concerned the tornados in that region back in 2011, and included both
print and online work.
Publishers might like to take a look at The Economist Group’s thoughts regarding measuring the influence of tablets on the magazine market.
Following on from recent print v. technology entries, this week we point you towards What They Think’s article detailing how to survive what it describes as the print industry’s “perfect storm”. Do read it in tandem with “15 Years
of Rapid Change”, which summarises very well just how far this industry
has come in a real short amount of time. Business Reporter, in the
meantime, reminds us of the power of print.
Kindle owners might like to be aware of a recently added interface from the “read it later” service Instapaper.
Well known for its ability to gather links during the day of web
articles that you would like to read, but just not yet, a recent
addition to the settings allows for a daily delivery of links to a single Kindle document.
Read through the links here to guide you through the set-up. Once a day
(you pick the time) links are delivered to your Kindle as one single
document, similar in style a newspaper on Kindle, where a contents
listing is provided on the right hand site of a cover page. It’s a great
way to automate the delivery of free and relevant content to your
e-reader for consumption on the train, or while relaxing at home in the
evening.
Finally, do keep checking back to see what will be featured in our next edition, PIND 98.
