Digital Printer is hosting an exclusive webinar on 27 April that will explain how new technologies can enable accurate estimating, speed consumables ordering, reduce errors, free skilled staff for more valuable work and hence save money in an environment of spiralling paper costs and ongoing recruitment difficulties.

Entitled The Future of the Connected Print Shop, the one-hour webinar is free to join and begins at 11:00 BST on Wednesday 27 April 2022. It will be hosted by Digital Printer editor Michael Walker and will include presentations from sponsor Zaikio’s Partner Success director Karl Ciz and Keith McMurtrie, managing director of MIS developer Tharstern, which will explain how Zaikio Procurement software can link paper suppliers such as Premier, and other consumables suppliers of products ranging from plates and chemistry to inks and laminating films, with the Tharstern MIS to enable live pricing and availability information for estimating and ordering.

These will be followed by a wide-ranging discussion of the broader issues raised in digitalisation of the businesses of print service providers, with outlines of further plans from the presenters and the opportunity for attendees to ask their own questions directly. The webinar will examine trends in software integration and automation as well as provide valuable insight into the way in which software and communications technology will form the basis for the next step in the evolution of connected companies in both digital and analogue print

Registration for the webinar is free and is open now.
