Three team members from the Edelmann Group – Landa’s first European customer, are on an exciting journey. They have been training up and learning all about the Landa S10 Nanographic Printing^® Press. Werner Seidel, Jana Sophie Schweizer and Jochen Schlumberger travelled from Edelmann’s print factory in Heidenheim, Germany to Landa’s facilities in Israel for an eight day, action-packed on-the-job training course to prepare them for their roles as operators of their newly installed press.

Etay Harpak is the first press operator to be trained on a Landa S10. Read all about Etay’s experience training up, working with Landa, operating the press, and his thoughts about the future.

Just over a year ago we demonstrated our digital vision for print at Drupa 2016. Earlier this year we announced our line-up of beta customers. Now we are ready to deliver our presses to the first customers. It’s time to change the rules of the game… again.

 

After Drupa 2016, we returned to work driven by the enthusiasm and positive energy on our stand, and have since been moving full steam ahead with a focus on transforming from a technology development company to a product manufacturer and supplier.

It’s hard for me to believe that it’s been a whole year since I was standing next to a Landa press at Drupa 2016, surrounded by a sea of excited customers.

“Small actions can make the biggest difference, but we must not be complacent and as there is always more we can all do to reduce waste and recycle what we use”. This is behind the charge imposed on plastic carrier bags by the UK Environment Minister in England. The programme has been deemed an outstanding success since its introduction last October.

Packaging design has been changing rapidly in recent years. The development of new technologies, the changing demography of consumers and the environmental pressures on brands have forced packaging designers and producers to come up with new and innovative solutions. At the same time they are required to restrict waste materials, reduce packaging materials and make provisions for the recycling of used containers.

At Landa, the digital printing revolution is not just about putting ink on paper. It’s also about how the press looks and how operators interact with it. To borrow from Steve Jobs, “Design is how it prints.” Ultimately, Landa’s objective is to bring to market a new printing process that delivers what brands and consumers need, but deliver it in a package that would make a Landa press almost an extension of its operator – a totally intuitive, highly efficient and profit-driving system.
