The virtual event webinars displayed eight customers with Tecnau finishing and presses from four different print vendors.

Tecnau announces the conclusion of its Spring Forward with Tecnau 2022 virtual event series, running weekly from the opening sessions on June 1st until the closing sessions on June 22nd. The event was organized in cooperation with four major printer vendors Canon, HP, Ricoh and SCREEN, each co-hosting one webinar in the EMEA region and one in the USA.

Building on the successful edition in 2021, with live and pre-recorded sessions from the Tecnau Experience Center, this year Spring Forward included customer stories inside the webinars to bring the wide audience attending directly onto the production floor of selected digital printing companies.

Each 60-minute webinar provided an overview about the company, a discussion with a specific printer partner, two customer videos and a Q&A session. “Your brand is what other people say about you and is directly connected with the level of satisfaction that customers get from your products” stated Stefano De Marco, Tecnau Managing Director, prior to the event start. “At Spring Forward 2022 we entered the production floor of selected customers and discovered how end-to-end solutions improve business and transform white paper to beautiful & colorful printed applications such as books, catalogues, direct mail, photos, flyers and more".

Four customer stories were recorded in Europe with the assistance of Inkish and four additional customer videos were filmed in the USA with WhatTheyThink. All stories show how customers in varying digital print market segments approach their business with very different finishing configurations.
