THE INTERVIEW

Carlo Carnelli

Carlo Carnelli

General Manager

In a market context such as the current one, what were the main challenges you faced in 2024 and what were the most important objectives achieved?

The main challenges that our customers have faced are undoubtedly linked to the demand for greater “sustainability” of printed products and the consequent implications of having to use different materials while maintaining the chromatic results expected by the customers.

This is why we have introduced to the market, through our ColorSoftware Suite, innovative solutions that optimise the use of ink and printing substrates with the aim of maintaining consistent colour results and possibly reducing waste. Making these advantages known to the market was a priority objective, achieved with good results both in Italy and abroad. The growing awareness of the importance of digitalization and sustainability confirms that we are on the right track.

What product lines are you working on that you intend to promote as a priority over the next year?

The ColorSoftware Suite remains our flagship product, constantly updated with new features to meet the needs of an evolving market. In addition, we are working on a direct connection with the X-rite Autura, which combined with ColorTrack, has the potential to further improve workflows, ensuring greater efficiency and accuracy in color management.

What services or activities have you planned for 2025 to engage and gain customer loyalty?

For 2025 we will continue with our training webinars, which have proven to be an excellent tool for engaging and updating customers. In addition, we will launch the ColorConsulting Academy, an on-demand online training platform. This will allow us to offer more flexible and accessible training, responding to the needs of an increasingly wide audience.

What role do trade fairs play in the development of new services and products?

Trade fairs are an essential opportunity to interface directly with the market. Participating allows us to showcase our innovations, gather immediate feedback, and better understand emerging needs. Direct contact with customers and partners accelerates the development process and helps position us as a benchmark in the industry.
