Lexington, Kentucky USA -- WhatTheyThink today reported that more than 300 industry professionals registered to attend a free printing industry educational webinar. B2 High Speed Inkjet Has Arrived. The session was moderated by WhatTheyThink Senior Editor Cary Sherburne and featured a highly interactive discussion with two printing companies who have found value in adding a B2 sheetfed inkjet press to their production portfolios. If you missed this important and informative session, or simply want to hear it again, the archive is now available!

“It was interesting to hear why these successful companies are adding B2 sheetfed,” said Sherburne, “and how these presses fit into their workflow and work mix. With two representatives from each company in the conversation, it was lively, informative and in-depth. It provided both business and technical insight to their purchasing decision. If you are considering the acquisition of a new press, this session is well worth listening to.” 

Sherburne was joined by:

• Brian VanderHooning, COO, Foremost Communications. VanderHooning has been working in the printing industry in various capacities since 1987.  He studied Business Management while serving as second pressman on 40” presses so is well-grounded in both the production and business sides of the company.  Foremost is headquartered in Grand Rapids Michigan, has annual sales of $16 million and employs 95. VanderHooning was joined by Merlin Buhl, the company’s President.
• Kirk Vercnocke, CEO, Phoenix Innovate. Vercnocke is a sales and marketing innovator who has helped launch a number of companies in the fields of data industry research, Tier One automotive supplier, employee benefit consulting and marketing.  He founded Phoenix Innovate in 1987 with his brother Geoff with the goal of providing unequalled service and performance to its clients and the marketplace. Mark Gaskill, Senior Vice President of Marketing Services, joined Vercnocke during the session.

“Production inkjet is clearly going mainstream,” said Randy Davidson, CEO of WhatTheyThink. “Many printers are now looking at sheetfed options, especially B2, in order to better integrate with standard offset printing workflows.
