“Historically, one of digital’s biggest challenges has been producing heavy solids uniformly. The X630i uses Domino’s AQ95 aqueous ink set with polymer-based tech- nology to deliver smooth solids and rich color density. “Domino also believes converters benefit most when expectations are clearly defined from the start. The com- pany provides print samples, discusses achievable gamut, and works closely with customers during implementation. “Another misconception is that digital presses require extensive pre-press expertise. Domino suggests the op- posite: systems like the X630i are designed for accessibil- ity. Operators do not need deep pre-press backgrounds. If they can handle digital files, the press workflow and RIP software manage much of the complexity. This reduces labor dependency and makes digital easier to integrate into existing corrugated operations. “With pre-print digital solutions emerging, some have questioned whether sheetfed single-pass presses will be displaced. Domino sees the technologies as complemen- tary. Pre-print digital systems tend to focus on longer run mass customization, while the Domino X630i excels in short-to-medium runs, versioning, and quick-turn work. “Looking ahead, Domino expects the competitive field to narrow. “Only suppliers who can deliver reliable tech- nology, excellent service, and long-term commitment will remain,” Condon says. With decades of inkjet experience and the backing of Brother Group, Domino positions itself as a long-term partner for converters investing in digital.”

Alpharetta, Georgia: Ed Gargiulo reports, “Happy New Year! We can all look forward to the expansion of a healthy and prosperous U.S. Economy under the Trump adminis-

tration during 2026, and hopefully well into the future. While the estab- lishment media and others continue in their attempts to hide any and all positive news, reduced taxes and regulation have already created the environment for long term, sustain- able economic growth.

“GDP grew at only 2.5 percent during all of 2024, with the Biden administration’s parting legacy being a -0.5 per- cent contraction during the first quarter of 2025. Since that time, GDP has risen to 3.8 percent and 4.3 percent, respectively during Q2 and Q3, with the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta’s GDP model projecting a surge to 5.1 per- cent - 5.4 percent for Q4. “There is also “light at the end of the tunnel” in the banking/lending industry. The ineptitude of the Feder- al Reserve with delayed interest rate adjustments and over-regulation manifested in the tightening of both mon- ey supply and lending requirements.
