Designers Art Directors toil over that sort of brain stamp every day. But if the consistency of that color isn’t flawless when it comes off-press, the brand doesn’t print with the consumer.

General Manager Karen Wolz says it best, “we love the large format work, because no two projects are alike.” In this month’s TWT pod, we had no choice but to break out our new HD Flip camera to show off the Tukaiz flat-beds and banner machinery.

His insatiable curiosity to discover client needs just might be the secret. It is a ‘gene’ that runs in the family. You’ll find it in all 5 Tukaiz partners. Which is why Tukaiz is still inventing new models for success after nearly half a century in business. That’s the inspiration for this month’s episode of our Tuesdays with Tukaiz podcast. This pod is one part sweat equity, one part survival, and ALL about INNOVATION. If you listen closely to your customers, the future reveals itself ahead of the curve.
