In this episode of The Print Problem Solver, Steve Ray of Reynolds Press takes us through the wild world of non-standard print jobs — the kind no one else wants to touch.

From minute tags to oversized signage, Steve breaks down the real issues behind problem print jobs: unusual sizes, shapes, hostile environments, material protection, and durability. Ever tried to print something that has to stick to a wet surface, or survive humidity and scouring? That’s where Steve’s problem-solving comes into its own.

There's also time for cake – because, naturally, no print issue gets solved without a good cake and some banter about marzipan.

Whether you’re a printer, designer, or just love hearing how complex problems get untangled, this is 25 minutes of insight, experience, and a bit of sweet humour on the side!

And don't miss the teaser for next month’s guest: Mark Stevenson from Fuji none-the-less.
