Say What? A quick word with Stefano De Marco

What is the role of a company like Tecnau?

Our job is to anticipate what the printer partners are developing. We see a growing number of print engines are being installed and this is on an upward trend each year, and now cutsheet inkjet, particularly B2, has become important.

What is the focus for Tecnau development?

There is a lot of demand for automation so that users can eliminate touch points at the changeover between jobs. And also because there is a reduction in operating expertise available across the industry so printers need to operate with fewer people on the production floor.

Will inkjet come to dominate?

Offset litho can print on any media and inkjet is working hard to get there.
