Industry leaders from Konica Minolta and JETfx to explore how digital embellishment is reshaping the future of sustainable, high-value print
Melbourne, FL — Taktiful announced today a new upcoming Taktisphere Live! event titled “Profit is the New Green: How Digital Embellishment Changes the Game,” taking place live inside the Taktisphere community on June 4, 2025, from 1:00 PM to 1:30 PM ET.
The session will feature Michael Cox of Konica Minolta and Edward Wiegand of JETfx, alongside facilitators from Team Taktiful, for a candid discussion on one of the printing industry’s most important emerging conversations: the intersection of sustainability and profitability.
As brands, converters, and commercial printers continue searching for ways to reduce waste while increasing margins, digital embellishment is rapidly becoming a key part of the equation. The live discussion will examine how technologies such as digital spot enhancement, tactile effects, foil, and specialty finishes are enabling print providers to create more impactful applications with smarter production methods and greater perceived value.
“Too often, sustainability and profitability are treated like opposing forces,” said Michael Cox, Director of Category Strategy, Packaging & Label at Konica Minolta. “The reality is that digital embellishment is helping prove they can work together. Printers are discovering that creating less waste, producing more strategically, and delivering higher-value print can actually strengthen the bottom line.”
The conversation will explore topics including:
How digital embellishment can support more sustainable production strategies
Reducing waste through shorter runs and on-demand enhancement
Increasing perceived value without dramatically increasing material usage
Why premium print experiences are becoming more important in a crowded digital world
How embellishment can help printers escape commodity pricing pressures
The event continues Taktisphere’s mission of creating open, educational conversations around the future of print, packaging, labels, and embellishment technologies. Designed as a fast-paced live discussion rather than a traditional webinar, the session aims to bring together printers, designers, brands, OEMs, and industry professionals interested in the next evolution of value-added print.
The event is free to attend and will stream live inside the Taktisphere community.
