  • October was a Big Month In Print

    In this episode of The Print Files: A Big Month in Print, Lindy Hughson and Jan Arreza analyse the major news and trends shaping the Australasian print industry in October.

    We begin our discussion by reviewing Visual Media Association’s recent advocacy efforts, launching the 2025 Industry Metrics Survey with Ricoh Australia and lobbying for the industry to be recognised as critical sovereign manufacturing sectors. We also explore major technology showcases from IVE Group with new Koenig & Bauer presses, Orora’s open day for brands featuring Velox’s direct-to-can digital print system, and Roland DG’s Dimense DA-640 bringing texture to wide-format printing. We discuss business developments with Colour Cartel’s rapid expansion and installation of ROQ, Revolution Print’s StickySheets.com.au automation breakthrough, Coopers Brewery’s Bolte Bridge billboard campaign, and new VistaPrint research on branded merchandise. We also touch on ongoing M&A momentum with Kwik Kopy joining the Fortidia Group, Rawson acquiring IntoPrint, and Print ePS merging with CAI Software. 

    We wrap up with people moves across Currie Group, Jet Technologies, and Women in Print, plus new equipment releases from Canon, Konica Minolta and HP pointing to another strong quarter of innovation in print.

  • When Vision Meets Technology: Revolution Print’s Blueprint for the Future

    In this episode of The Print Files, Print21 managing editor & publisher Lindy Hughson chats with Leon Wilson, director of Revolution Print, and James Rolland from Konica Minolta Australia, about how regional printer Revolution Print has turned its vision into a national, automated e-commerce success story through StickySheets.com.au.

    We begin our discussion by exploring the origins of StickySheets, how it supplies customers with short-run customer sticker printing, and we review the order process with strong automation practices which results in a relatively hands free process. We dive into the technologies and data involved in choosing substrates, maintaining stocks, choosing hardware, and how it combines with building a strong workforce which facilitates a culture for collaboration. The discussion also examines lessons that can be learnt from the Konica-Revolution partnership and how AI will be further integrated into businesses in the future.

    We wrap up by getting some practical advice for other print businesses, which focuses on the need for vision, technology, and partnerships to transform print into a connected and scalable industry.

  • September was a Big Month In Print

    In this episode of The Print Files: A Big Month in Print, Lindy Hughson and Jan Arreza analyse the major news and trends shaping the Australasian print industry in September.

    We begin this month’s review with major distribution moves, as EFI appoints Currie Group as its exclusive Sign & Display distributor across Australia and New Zealand, and Canon partners with Rodden Graphics to expand into packaging and labels via Edale flexo systems. We also cover Rawson’s acquisition of IntoPrint following its Megacolour purchase, CS Graphics’ management buyout of Aldus Graphics’ distribution arm, and the US$80 million acquisition of Landa by private equity firm FIMI.

    The discussion continues with Canon’s new Colorado XL series, marking its entry into the 3.4-metre super-wide format market, and Neon Packaging’s Australian first installation of Mimaki’s UV-DTF printer, expanding its capability to curved and irregular surfaces. We also highlight Women in Print’s new incorporation framework, and review the record turnout at Labelexpo Europe now rebranded as Loupe showcasing major innovations and global engagement.

    We wrap up with people moves, including Adrian Fleming’s return to PrintIQ as ANZ general manager, and John Wall’s retirement after more than 40 years at Roland DG Australia, with Jessie Parker stepping into the managing director role.

  • August was a Big Month In Print

    In this episode of The Print Files: A Big Month in Print, Lindy Hughson and Jan Arreza analyse the major news and trends shaping the Australasian print industry in August.

    The discussion begins with the sudden closure of Melbourne’s Ezprint, unpacking the fallout for staff and customers, and the role of Precision Group, which acquired the customer list, offered jobs to some employees, and separately, has also expanded with its acquisition of JP Printing.

    The discussion then turns to Orora’s launch of Helio, the world’s first integrated high-speed digital direct-to-can printing system, followed by a review of IVE Group’s strong FY25 profit growth despite softer revenue.

    Next, attention shifts to technology and investment, with Xclusive Printing Solutions moving into a new Ingleburn facility equipped with Horizon systems from Currie Group, and Brougham Press boosting its finishing capability with a Horizon MiniCABS Binding System.

    The episode wraps up with a look at the Visual Media Association’s AGM, which reported strong growth in membership and sponsorship, increased investment in initiatives like The Inkers and Buy Australian Print campaigns, and a firm stance on the Victorian government’s proposed work-from-home mandate.

  • Backing Print’s Future: The Inkers, Local Advocacy & VMA’s Bold Agenda

    In this episode of The Print Files, Lindy Hughson, Managing Editor & Publisher of Print21, sits down with Kellie Northwood, CEO of the Visual Media Association (VMA), to explore the Association’s renewed momentum and bold initiatives shaping the future of the print and visual media industry.

    The conversation opens with key takeaways from the VMA’s recent AGM, including a surge in membership, financial strength, and a united sector approach. But the spotlight quickly shifts to the real action: the launch of The Inkers, a dynamic new programme designed to connect and retain emerging talent, and the Buy Australian Print campaign, a high-impact lobbying effort pushing for local procurement commitments across all levels of government.

    We also touch on the VMA’s increasing focus on mental health support and environmental certification, before wrapping up with Kellie’s forward-looking vision for the Association and a compelling call to action for industry players to get involved.

    This is an episode packed with purpose and practical insight.

  • Incorporating AI into print businesses, with Sonia Shwabsky

    In this episode, Lindy Hughson, Managing Editor & Publisher of Print21, talks with Sonia Shwabsky, CEO of Kwik Kopy Australia, about the impact that AI is having in the print industry.

    We begin our discussion by assessing the importance of implementing AI in print businesses, the opportunities it presents in regards to design, print preparation, and customer service, as well as the viability of using it for production. Our discussion also explores how AI can provide clients cost-efficient marketing opportunities, modify existing designs to adjust or improve them, and create digital personas of company identities. We also review whether it will slash staff numbers, the security considerations that need to be made, and how Kwik Kopy will assist their franchisees to address concerns surrounding AI.

    We wrap up by looking ahead and getting an overview of where AI and print may be the future.

  • July was a Big Month In Print

    In the latest episode of print's podcast, It's Been A Big Month in Print, industry insiders Lindy Hughson and Jan Arreza analyse, assess, and interpret the major news, trends, issues and developments from July.

    We begin our review of July with an update on Landa’s cashflow crisis and the possible upcoming purchase by HP; we assess how Onpack’s direct-to-can printing expertise has aligned with custom water brand Rippl’s growth strategy, and has boosted Onpack’s revenues significantly; and also commend RollsPack Group’s expansion into the Asia Pacific region, with the flexible packaging specialist having just opened a manufacturing facility called Rolls Technology in Huai’an, China. We go on to discuss New Zealand’s Pride in Print Awards and the upcoming Real Media Awards, and comment on the atmosphere at Lewis Media Group’s golden jubilee celebrating 50 years, and the products seen at Konica Minolta’s UnPacked Sydney show.

    We wrap up by getting an insight into the upcoming launch of the HP Indigo 6K+ label press, the sale of Australia’s biggest magazine publisher Are Media, and the The Inkers, an emerging talent program from the VMA.

  • June was a Big Month In Print

    In the latest episode of print's podcast, It's Been A Big Month in Print, industry insiders Wayne Robinson, Lindy Hughson and Jan Arreza analyse, assess, and interpret the major news, trends, issues and developments from June.

    This month is particularly special as we say farewell to Wayne for his last episode as he puts down his pen after 29 years covering the print industry. We start the discussion by looking to the future and review the increased adoption of AI with Canva’s purchase of Magic Brief following its purchase of Leonardo AI last year, and explore a more detailed insight from Sonia Shwabsky’s (CEO of Kwik Kopy Group) upcoming feature. We also look retrospectively by exploring the outdated manufacturing methods that lead to the liquidation of two major players O’Brien Formes and Starleaton, as well as assess the damage that this causes to other businesses. We also discuss the East Coast Canning’s improvement in UV ink adhesion with further expansions planned into non-beer sectors, the cashflow difficulties faced by Landa Digital Printing due to investors ceasing funding, and the everlasting saga of AusPost woes following the increased price of letters of 13.3%.

    We wrap up by going back by 600 years with the upcoming Melbourne Rare Books Fair showing work from the founder of print himself, Johannes Gutenberg’s bible and some Japanese prints that are even older than that! And a final bittersweet goodbye to our friend and colleague Wayne Robinson, with more exciting episodes and stories to come.

  • May was a Big Month In Print

    In the latest episode of print's podcast, It's Been A Big Month in Print, industry insiders Wayne Robinson and Jan Arreza analyse, assess, and interpret the major news, trends, issues and developments from May.

    We begin our discussion by reviewing the refreshed National Print Awards, with the winners and special moments. We also assess the main themes revealed during PacPrint, including the increased diversification of business opportunities in print. We dig into the the reasons behind the mergence of DTF as a business opportunity for printers, exemplified by two print businesses making major DTF investments at PacPrint.

    The discussion also reviews the sale of Marvel Bookbinding, as well as the contributing factors behind the upcoming liquidation of Martin O’Brien Formes. We wrap up by checking into Vik Gulati’s purchase of Reacon Group, and the twists and turns in the process.
