Ask the Experts Webinar: Why Care About Verification?
Without verification, there is no process control, and without process control there is no consistency to your product. It really is that simple, and yet I see and hear many shop owners struggling with the color that is coming off their printers. Ray Weiss will lead attendees in a conversation on why verification matters (hint: it saves you money), when you should do it, and walk through an example so that the value is apparent. Attendees should expect to walk away with actionable lessons that they can implement in their own process.

What’s New in Dimensional Printing
3D printing is more than just prototyping and for those looking for that WOW factor it’s hard to miss Massivit’s extra large format 3D printer – but don’t overlook Mimaki’s small format full-color printer. And for those with UV flatbed printers, the ability to add a little dimension to prints, adds value that shouldn’t be missed.

M&A in a Post-Pandemic World, What’s Changed and What Hasn’t
As we begin to exit the Pandemic and return to a more normal social and economic environment, we expect to see pent up demand for both buying and selling print and packaging businesses. There are numerous considerations here for both parties, including how valuation is determined and what tax implications might be in an evolving regulatory environment. The bottom line is that while much has changed as a result of the Pandemic, many things in the M&A environment have not, including continued consolidation of a fragmented industry.
