The document discusses important trends for printing companies based on an analysis from VIGC in Belgium. Three key trends are discussed: 1) A need for increased efficiency through automation and standardization in prepress, printing, and postpress to reduce setup times and waste. 2) Globalization and how the internet has changed competition across borders. 3) The impact of electronic media like e-books and e-paper, though printed paper is still expected to remain important. An international comparison shows that printing companies can still be profitable, especially larger companies, though not all printing companies are healthy. Size, innovation, and the right strategic choices will be important for success.

There are a number of key factors management should consider before taking an IT-company abroad. This e-book examines some of those factors, specifically country attractiveness. We have a regional perspective and have examined Northern European countries with populations higher than 1 mill.
The findings in this e-book are based on benchmark reports, country statistics and interviews with 25 international managers.
One of the biggest challenges for translation teams today is that the translation tends to be pushed to the very end of the product cycle and, if deadlines aren't met, can have an adverse impact on the total cost of product marketing campaign due to delayed releases. Regardless of our role in the translation process, we need to understand how both the documentation process and the translation process affect each other, where are the bottle-necks in the workflow, and how we can merge the two so that our customers can meet their goals.

A Silent Revolution. Embedded publishing and its consequences for the newspap...sndrspk
Presentation given at the European Media Management Association (EMMA) conference. Paris, February 13th and 14th, 2009.
Paper abstract:
Embedded publishing refers to the rising phenomenon of organisations and individuals who have started publications in support of their primary goal. This ranges from blogging politicians to professional football clubs offering web television to their fans. Their products, which are often offered to the audience free of charge, might pose a serious threat to incumbent media. Because these new publishers now are their own media outlet, they become less dependent of the traditional media
for getting their messages across. This paper presents an analysis of eight Flemish and Dutch
embedded publishers and conceptualises the results of this case study. Subsequently, it offers five strategies for especially the newspaper industry to deal with this new development.

En dan gebeurt er iets vreemds... (digitale fotografie en kleurbeheer)VIGCbe
En dan gebeurt er iets vreemds... In deze presentatie wordt een aantal aspecten van color management (kleurbeheer) en digitale fotografie besproken. Deze presentatie werd gegeven op een seminarie 'kleurbeheer voor fotografen', een samenwerking van Artevelde Hogeschool/KISP, Syntra West en VIGC.
Is process control in the printing industry sufficient? In this presentation, which was presented at the RIT CMIC Summit, VIGC shows a number of bottlenecks in the current process control. Bottlenecks that should be solved, some of them certainly before we can move on to 'more exciting fields' like printed electronics, printed functionality, etc.
This presentation at the RIT CMIC Symposium was created 'last minute'. One presentation, on 'Print Strategy in Europe', was cancelled because the presenter didn't make it to the conference. I volunteered to assemble some figures from the printing industry in Belgium and Germany.

CMIC Summit 2013: Ink reduction for food packaging printersVIGCbe
Ink reduction for food packaging printers: how low can you go?
Sometimes you have to challenge common knowledge to innovate. ‘Old truths’ are often only old. To help one of its members, a food packaging printer that was very often confronted with PDF files with a very high ‘total area coverage’ TAC), VIGC did some practical tests with lower TAC levels. Eventually finding that much lower levels are acceptable, or even visually not distinguishable from a high TAC. The lower amount of ink can make a real difference for the food packaging printer: ink drying is faster, lowering the risk of set off. But the lower TAC needs to done the right way. Both in the composition of the CMYK (i.e. the construction of the profile) as well as the place in the workflow to apply the ink reduction.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
