Printing United 2024 and beyond: The beginning of a print industry shift
By Bruce Watermann
When Henrik Müller-Hansen reached out last December, I thought it was just another catch-up. I’ve always admired how Gelato grew from Optimalprint to a global print-on-demand network. But this time, he had something bigger in mind—a new chapter for Gelato, and I would be part of it. Fast forward to Printing United 2024, GelatoConnect is now making waves in the industry. This platform is about transforming the entire print process, and sharing that journey from idea to execution has been incredibly rewarding.
