In a video interview, Gerry Mulvaney, Landa’s European Sales Manager, highlights the advantages and opportunities the B1 (41 in.) Landa S10 Nanographic Printing Press will bring to the sign and digital market including quality, speed, substrate-friendliness, and lowest cost-per-page. He points out the demonstrated significant progress in Nanography^® since sowing the first seeds at Drupa 2012.

Clearly the baton has passed from conventional print to digital print. As Benny Landa stated at the end of the show: “Drupa 2016 will be remembered as the inflection point in the industry's transition from mechanical printing to digital… It seems that the market leaders in packaging, commercial printing and in publishing have come to the realization that they simply must go digital.”

How does Benny differ [from Steve Jobs] then?
I’ve worked with a lot of brilliant people and they all had a vision of exactly where they wanted to go, but Jobs was more merciless than most. Benny tends to be more of a benefactor, more of a father figure – but he also finds the best people and they work night and day for him. The difference is that you get the feeling they would do that even if he didn’t ask, because they just want what he wants.

I had the opportunity to speak on the phone last week with Yishai Amir, CEO of Landa Corp. and vice chairman of the Landa Group. We discussed Landa Corp.’s $505 million sales success at drupa, including its announcement of major wins with companies like Cimpress, Quad/Graphics and Imagine! Print Solutions.

Landa’s charisma may have stolen the show once again, but sales of Landa’s new S10 and W10 Nanographic printing presses were just as much a hot topic… “Drupa 2016 will be remembered as the inflection point in the industry’s transition from mechanical printing to digital. In the past, digital print vendors had to try to convince the market that digital is the way to go. Previously it was a ‘push’ selling motion,” says chairman Landa.

Representing the first UK sale of the one-meter width Web based press, the UK print house is excited for the opportunities provided by Landa’s technology, the ability to better support high speed, high quality, low cost short to medium run length customized flexible forms.

Landa Digital Printing has reported a huge pipeline of “real orders” for its Nanography digital presses after Drupa, as well as “overwhelming” interest in its Nano-Metallography alternative to foiling.

“Everyone is leaving drupa with the understanding that Nanography is a game changer,” said Yishai Amir, CEO, Landa.
