cube 


The drupa cube is the conference programme at drupa 2016, with the theme 

Touch the Future. Featuring leaders from the worlds of innovation, design, creativity 

and technology, the cube offers attendees a glimpse into the future of print. 

Inspirational, future-facing presentations from 

visionaries, each with a worldwide reputation 

in their field. Presenters will share their insights 

on the future of print, innovation and the 

customer in this ‘new age’ of communications. 

These sessions are free of charge. 

Invitation-only, strategic discussions aimed at board 

level attendees. These sessions will help business leaders 

as they navigate their organisations through times of 

change and market consolidation. 

These sessions are invite only. 

These sessions will look at innovation trends and best 

practice in the global print marketplace across a wide 

range of areas. They will appeal to anyone tasked with 

leading a team to deliver improved performance and 

higher levels of service and address the concerns and 

‘care abouts’ of management attendees. 


Led by The Medici Group, drupa Innovation Partner 2016: 

Where does innovation sit in your organisation? 

These sessions will put innovation in the hands of the 

audience — demonstrating that innovation is the concern 

of every individual, regardless of role, function, and 

expertise. It is by tearing down preconceived notions 

and barriers between diverse fields, cultures, concepts 

and disciplines that we have the best chance of finding 

breakthrough innovation. This idea is central to Medici’s 

Intersectional Thinking approach. Attendees will 

participate in an interactive experience that puts the 

power W&V of Intersectional Creative Thinking Day to work.

methods. In this presentation Dominic examines where the

13.00 - 13.45 

Trendlab 

These are the times to re-imagine how we do things by 

using new approaches, applying new tools and creating new 

opportunities. Not only do we identify trends, we test them 

and apply them in real world scenarios. By exploring trends, 

applying them...and sometimes creating them, we help invent 

the future by helping you and your business. 

The FXP Trend Lab is a place designed to address these 

challenges and more. We have created an innovation incubator 

that examines trends, creates ideas and contributes to a better 

tomorrow. However, it all begins with today. 

Utilizing the right trends can further drive brand affinity, 

loyalty and advocacy, whilst playing a critical role in influencing 

overall marketing campaigns. It is our identification, 

understanding and application of trends which helps us raise 

the bar on brand experiences. We help invent the future by 

helping you generate tomorrow’s headlines. 

The purpose of this workshop is to take a break from the 

narrow focus of the tactical day to day and employ a wider lens 

to imagine and ultimately design the future trajectory of brand 

experience. The FXP Trend Lab will initiate the journey and 

unlock new possibilities.

Touching The Vision – 

The 7 critical rules for innovative 

leaders around the world 

What are the key rules for leaders to create breakthrough? 

In this provocative talk, Frans Johansson, CEO for The Medici 

Group and the worldwide leader on innovation, will explore 

the most pervasive traps facing the print-industry. How do you 

avoid them and how do you use those critical rules to create 

your vision of the future? Which leaders and companies have 

succeeded in exploiting opportunities when technologies, 

industries and applications collide?

Blazing The Trail 

To Business Growth 

How can you rapidly reorient your organization for 

innovative growth? The era of 2-3 year timelines in creating 

incremental change has gone forever. We are now in a 

hyper-cycle where new ideas need to be created, selected 

and executed on a monthly basis or faster. How do you instill 

this innovative heartbeat into your organization? How do you 

avoid the seduction of using ROI in making every innovative 

decision - when you know that the future cannot be measured 

that easily?

Printed Flexible OLED Displays 

for Low Cost Appilcations 

Most organic light emitting diode (OLED) research and 

development has focused on achieving performances required 

for televisions. This application requires very long operational 

lifetimes and to achieve this air sensitive cathodes are used. 

At CDT our printed flexible OLED displays use an OLED device 

architecture that does not rely on these cathodes. This 

technology is focused on alternative display markets such as 

point of sale advertising. We will present the latest red, green, 

blue and white devices, discuss the simple fabrication process 

and show examples of our prototypes.

Choose Sustainability – 

While You Still Can 

Changes in environmental legislation are coming – 

will your business be ahead of the game? 

The U.N. Climate Change Conference in Paris in December 2015 

reached a new binding agreement, hailed by Francois Hollande 

as “a revolution for climate change”. But it will be businesses 

which will carry much of the responsibility and the cost for 

reducing greenhouse gas emissions as governments look to 

industry to fulfil their obligations under the new agreement. 

Instead of seeing sustainability as a cost, progressive 

businesses can choose to be ahead of the game, building a 

strong ethical platform to enhance customer perception and 

loyalty and driving out cost by reducing waste and increasing 

efficiency. This discussion will cover the pros and cons of 

adopting sustainable business practices.

14.45 - 15.45 Technology Gladiator Session 

Digital vs. Flexo 

in Packaging and Point Of Sale 

Flexo dominates packaging but has been usurped in display 

and POS where inkjet has grabbed value and opened new 

opportunities. Will the same happen in packaging, or does 

analogue offer insurmountable advantages of cost and quality? 

There are many reasons to maintain the status quo. Spot 

colours and print quality are important, there are ink 

migration/food safety concerns and in flexible multi-layer 

constructions and coatings must be compatible with the toner 

or inks in digital. But digital offers new opportunities – cost 

effective short runs, versioning and personalisation that can 

be tailored to locations or events, increasing the consumer 

engagement. drupa will see new digital packaging production 

systems, along with the latest analogue offerings – be open 

and make your mind up which provides the best future 

business opportunities.

16.00 - 16.30 

The Economics of Using Inkjet 

Technology for Digital Production 

Inkjet technology adoption is driven by economics and print 

quality. Unless we achieve both, the adoption process stalls. In 

many industries we have passed the tipping point and inkjet 

now dominates. Inkjet is used outside the graphics market for 

the production of ceramic tiles, textiles, laminate flooring and 

many other items. Quality requirements and economics vary 

by industry, however a driving factor in cost calculations is the 

business upheaval that potentially changes print runs from tens 

or hundreds of thousands to one. For some, changes in skill 

sets required to run and manage digital print, the introduction 

of digital print in businesses that are new to print or pre-press 

have created a steep learning curve. 

To find true economic advantage we must move away from 

traditional business models focussed on ROI and ink prices and 

consider re-engineering the business to exploit a new era of 

manufacturing and print. 

Speaker: Steve Knight, 

Director, Digital Direct Technologies

have developed, building on the capability to communicate in 

a network. 

Every communication requires energy. Until now, such smart 

objects are being powered by conventional energy storage 

devices. But these conventional technologies often do not 

meet the requirements of such new applications. Creavis, the

print designs after which we use screen printing (S2S, R2R) 

for up scaling and or pilot production. 

• Future and current developments are going to stretchable 

and wearable applications.

Ink Logistics and 

The Lean Workflow 

Shorter production runs, high running costs and stringent 

quality demands in packaging and label printing have made 

waste elimination a top priority. 

Automating ink logistics, from the ink’s arrival at the plant to 

printing, can deliver a waste-free and productive workflow, 

increase ink yield up to 30 per cent, and save thousands of 

hours’ set-up time. 

Two companies driving ink automation are GSE Dispensing, 

supplier of dispensing, proofing and ink systems, and TRESU 

Group, provider of flexo technology. 

Together they will present all aspects of ink technologies and 

the benefits of automatically controlling the ink supply from 

the bucket to press, using closed ink and coating circulation 

systems to optimise pressure, flow rate and viscosity. 

Speaker: Maarten Hummelen, 

CEO, GSE Dispensing 

Maarten Hummelen co-owns the GSE Group, 

consisting of GSE Dispensing, world leader in ink and

15.00 - 15.30 

The Vision Of Inline 

Digital Print For Labels 

This presentation will give FMCG brand owners and printers 

an insight into the digitisation of the customer experience and 

the changing shape of the print and labelling sectors now and in 

the future. 

The need for late stage customisation and personalisation of 

products and packaging is increasing in the highly competitive 

and complex fast moving consumer goods industries. Digital 

technologies are not only changing the way that brands 

communicate with consumers, they are changing the future of 

the print and labelling industry. 

DataLase inline digital technology enables graphics and 

labelling to be integrated into pack designs at the point packing 

and filling to create greater consumer engagement. The inline 

digital technology enables greater labelling and graphics 

placement flexibility than ever before. 

In the future, labels will need to provide even more 

information than they do now, but striking the need for more 

product information with attractive pack appearance is a 

delicate balance. 

Chuck will discuss the future of smart and intelligent 

labelling which can provide real time information to the supply 

chain and consumers. 

Speaker: Chuck Pemble.

Inkjet vs. Offset 

in Commercial Printing 

Offset technology has held off the challenge of toner 

based digital printing by becoming more flexible, easier to set 

up and more connected. Digital has found a space for 

limited volumes and personalisation. For everything else, offset 

must be the choice. 

Now there is a new challenger: inkjet. Inkjet printing can be fast, 

but can it deliver the quality and cost performance that 

printers need? Many suppliers can now offer an inkjet solution. 

However, is this a viable solution for printers today, or is it an 

exhibition fantasy, a promise that printers should look out for 

but refrain from investing in? 

Speaker: Gareth Ward, Publisher, 

Eurographic Press and Editor, Print Business 

Gareth Ward has been writing about developments in 

the printing industry since 1983, attending ever drupas 

since then. His perspective and commentary on

on commercial printing. He is anticipating a lively 

debate tackling a key issue that all printers need to 

consider for the future of their business. 

Speaker: Mark Hinder,

16.00 - 16.30 

Innovation - Can It Be 

For Everybody? 

The word “ Innovation” evokes either excitement or anxiety in 

many business leaders. It can describe a new discovery that 

in an instant changes the destiny of a company, or it may be a 

‘necessary evil’, endured in the search for new revenue streams 

to bolster a declining traditional business. Or it can represent 

the true DNA of a new generation of corporations that today 

seem to rule the world, like Google or Apple. 

This session examines whether “Innovation” can become 

a normal ingredient for any company that wants to take 

advantage, and not be surprised, by changing business models 

and new technologies that characterize markets of today. 

Speaker: Enrico Deluchi, 

Managing Director, Canon Italia 

Enrico Deluchi joined Canon Italy in 2014 to lead the 

company through an evolution of its go-to-market

11.00 - 11.30 

Services Diversification – 

How to Cash In On New Services 

It’s an undeniable fact that margins and prices are being eroded 

year on year and print companies need to diversify and add 

new services in order to survive. A host of new print and cross 

media applications offer the opportunity for more profitable 

growth but the majority of print companies are stubbornly 

sticking to what they know. 

In our experience businesses don’t fail because they are too 

early, they fail because they are too late! So how 

can the average commercial print company wake up to 

the opportunities and cash in before it’s too late? 

The formula for success includes, automation efficiency, 

integrated multichannel production and new customer 

focused business models. 

Speaker: Neil Falconer, 

Managing Director, Printfuture 

Neil has over 35 years’ experience in the 

printing industry. He understands how 

the industry works and, crucially, what 

makes printers tick. As a consultant, he 

has led market studies, international due 

diligence projects and business improvement 

programmes in commercial print, publishing 

and packaging.

to change in an online world”, helping 

companies integrate digital print and cross 

media technologies into new customer centric 

business models. Printfuture provide a range 

of research, publishing, content marketing, 

consultancy and training services.

Inkjet vs. Toner Technologies 

For 25 years digital printing has been synonymous with toner 

technologies. This seems to be a mature, stable technology, 

that has found its place in the industry. Now it faces a direct 

challenge from inkjet printing. Inkjet promises better quality, 

a greater choice of substrates and faster throughput. Can toner 

based digital printing respond? The answer seems to be yes. 

There are demonstrations of new toner technologies at drupa 

which mean that printers must reconsider their preconceptions 

about what toner printing can achieve. Is this too late, or is 

the dominance of inkjet printing now inevitable, pushing toner 

printing back to niche positions only? The debate will help 

printers decide where they should make their next investment. 

Host: Gareth Ward, Publisher, 

Eurographic Press and Editor, Print Business 

Gareth Ward has been writing about developments 

in the printing industry since 1983, attending every

Impact of the Cloud on 

Print Production and More 

Cloud computing represents a tectonic shift in IT. 

But what does it mean for the printing industry? 

Beyond the obvious – which is that you don’t need to install and 

maintain servers and storage on site – how can it change how 

Print Service Providers and Converters work? 

Does it impact the way they interact with their customers? 

How does it influence production workflows? Can it reduce 

costs, overheads and complexity, and drive higher performance, 

efficiency and quality? Is the Cloud a big deal for the printing 

industry or much about nothing? These questions and others 

will be explored in this session.
