Welcome to Printing Industry News Digest (PIND) issue 126, 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. Click the pics too! Extra links are hidden behind the images below.
Short-run packaging is the focus for the first European orders for Fuji’s JetPress 720. Installs are expected in France and Austria. Look out for the most expensive packages on the market, as this unit lists at $1.5 million, and trundles along at 2,700 sheets per hour.
Following recent news re the addition of Kodak Prosper inkjet technology to its manroland web systems presses, rumour is rife that Axel Springer could be close to a tie up with Daily Mail publisher DMGT. The Print Business provides the detail.
The CEO at manroland sheetfed has decided that it’s job done: Alfred Rothlaender,
tempted from retirement by business owner Tony Langley, has completed
the “heavy lifting”, as Langley describes it, and leaves the business in
best shape following the sale of the Mannheim factory site for housing
development.
We know you’ve been wondering for a long time: “What are the Top 10 stories on GenesisNews this year?” Wonder no more: the answers are here!
Need more portable storage for your iOS or Android product? The good folk of Kingston have an answer for you: well, at least a 128Gb answer. That should be enough for most folk do you think?
$800 bucks for a 3D printer makes it sound like this technology is coming within the reach of small to medium sized businesses, or even home enthusiasts: Solidoodle 3 has the answer it would seem.
The festive period might well see a glut of tablets and new computer systems
arriving at the foot of your bed. Whilst feeling sorry for poor Santa
having lug all of that lot around, you might also ponder on what to do
with your old kit. Lifehacker offers some suggestions.
The annual Richard Dimbleby lecture is to given this year by Mr Bill Gates: put it in your diary as exciting UK Christmas TV time if you like!
Still not sure what present to buy for your wife, daughter, girlfriend, etc, etc? Why not buy them an app?
Yes, by right clicking in iTunes you can now gift an app to your
(iPhone owning) loves one’s without even leaving the comfort of your own
office.
What about Raspberry Pi you ask: well, how about building a streaming jukebox for Christmas? Whilst Pandora is the suggested vehicle, you might want to change the source for European readers. Mind you, one of the comments following this article suggests that you would probably be better off just converting an ageing iPod to the task. Easier, but perhaps not quite so much fun! OK, maybe use Pi for a solar-powered FTP server instead?
