Greetings Citizens of the Printerverse and welcome to a New Year! It is a new year, right? The calendar has changed but, in many ways, it feels like 2020 is still lingering. This annual post has traditionally focused on what is in front of us, but honestly, there is still a lot of uncertainty to […]
It Takes Two: Digital Twins in Print and Beyond
Happy New Year, Printerverse! Certainly here in the UK we still find ourselves at home, living our lives through screens. I’m sure all of us have friends, family, and colleagues that we haven’t seen from below the shoulders for the best part of a year, if not longer. We have become accustomed to our digital […]
2020: The Pandemic, the Pivots and the Perseverance of Print
I am counting the days to 2021 as if it were my release date from prison. I’m keeping my head down, not rocking any boats, just trying to make it through the next few weeks without being sent to the hole or getting shivved. This year has truly been unprecedented and although that word has […]
Print (and the World) Needs Collaboration, not Division
We are close to closing the book on a strange and difficult year. The pandemic, politics, and social issues seem to be forcing an already divided world further apart. But in the face of economic and personal hardships, there have been examples of humanity at its best, from frontline workers going above and beyond the […]
Say Bye-Bye to #BlackFriday and Hello to Print Opportunity
For as long as I can remember, the day after Thanksgiving in the U.S. has been the Olympics of retail shopping in malls and stores. When the clock strikes 5 am (or some ungodly hour before dawn) thousands of in-store shoppers go gang-busters for doorbuster deals on electronics, winter clothing, holiday gifts, and more. Stores […]
Print, Technology and the Circular Economy
At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, some lauded a positive of the widespread virus – a win for sustainability, a chance for our natural habitat to ‘heal’ as people stayed home, factories closed their doors, cars stayed off the roads, and flights were grounded. However, on the other side of the coin, the pandemic […]

Five Industry Orgs Step-Up To Address Diversity With Action
Over the past few weeks I have been immersed in conversation and online discussion about my post, Black Lives Matters, and The Future of Print. I wish I could say the feedback was all positive, but it wasn’t. In this 115 comment and growing post in my LinkedIn group, Print Production Professionals, and in numerous […]
Print, Design, and Cities of the Future
Walking around my neighbourhood has been very strange for a while now, and I’m not sure I’ll ever get used to it. I live right in the heart of my city (Bristol in the UK), which is usually bustling with people in the bars, restaurants and cafés, especially at this time of year. But since […]
#BlackLivesMatter and the Future of Print
I have agonized finding words that reflect the importance of this moment in US history without delving into how we got here. I am going to respectfully leave that to the side, but not before I make my position explicitly clear… systematic racism and oppression of black people in America is real and must end. […]
From Inkjet to Organs: A Look at Bioprinting
As I write this, I can’t help but feel a little sad. Instead of packing up my comfiest footwear and getting ready to stomp the halls of Messe Dusseldorf, I remain stuck at home, only able to interact with industry peers through a screen. No witnessing new technology launches. No beer hall debriefs with friends […]
