Tiny particles spark great expectations

Can Benny Landa do it again? He spear-headed the digital printing revolution in 1993 when he launched his Indigo E-Print 1000, promising “a print run of one”. Now, after selling Indigo to HP in 2001, he has sensationally returned to print with Landa Digital Printing and Nanography – a new method of printing that he believes will be the basis for a second digital revolution. On the eve of Drupa 2012, PrintWeek’s Jo Francis asked Landa about his fresh ambitions to transform print by creating a new industry standard. 

Jo Francis Benny, we spoke with you at Ipex 2010, where you received a Champions in Print award, and it felt very much as though you’d stepped back from your involvement in print. Not in a million years would we have imagined seeing you with a brand new print technology at Drupa 2012. Welcome back – how does it feel?

Benny Landa Fantastic! I’m more energised and excited than I’ve ever been.
