Rethinking ink logistics:
sustainability webinar and colour matching guide

Dear ,

Welcome to the latest edition of the InkConnection – the newsletter dedicated to helping label and packaging printers get the best value out of ink.

Save the Date! Sustainability webinar for flexible packaging, 22 September
On September 22nd, GSE will be explaining how to use inks more efficiently at a special webinar dedicated to sustainability in flexible packaging. It’s hosted by the PRETHINK INK network – a group of print industry suppliers promoting water-based inks for flexible packaging – powered by BASF. The webinar takes place between 13:00 and 14:15hrs CET, Thursday 22 September 2022. We’ll provide sign-up details in next month’s newsletter.

Automated colour matching
It requires rigorous control of processes to be an agile packaging converter. Today, that means automating wherever possible with software, and using digital colour standards. In this edition of InkConnection we explain how colour formulation and ink management software packages work together to help converters manage colour fast, efficiently and reliably.

Inspiring summer reading ideas
We wish our Northern Hemisphere readers a pleasant and relaxing Summer holiday. The philosophy of ‘continuous improvement’ tells us that our comprehension is always incomplete. So, in line with our ‘connecting’ mission, it’s our pleasure to share some inspiring holiday reading ideas below.

The Shortest Distance between You and Your New Product

Katherine Radeka

Rapid Learning Cycles is an approach to product design that has helped teams get their product to market faster. Key takeaways from this work:

Avoid detailed plans that soon go out of date; working in short learning cycles help teams thrive in uncertainty
Focus first on learning and make better decisions later, to maintain flexibility
Rapid prototyping and experimental learning are better than expensive time-consuming product builds.
